which supplies both power and data to the touchscreen
• Ethernet (Category 5 or equivalent) for data connection to the network.
• Ethernet with PoE 802.3af (Category 5 or equivalent)for power and data connection to
the network.
• LinkConnect (Belden 8471)for LON®data connection to the network.

touchscreen power.
Paradigm portable touchscreens offer a flexible way to remotely control your Paradigm control
system over either an Ethernet connection (P-TS7-PE) or a LONconnection (P-TS7-P).
The P-TS7-PE is provided with a RJ45 to
etherCON®cable that connects the
touchscreen to a compatible Power over
Ethernet (PoE 802.3af) network port that is
also connected to the Paradigm control
system.
The P-TS7-P is provided with a 5m (16ft)
cable that connects the touchscreen to a
Unison portable receptacle station (UH1RS),
available separately.
The portable receptacle station (UH1RS) uses
LinkConnect and 24 VDC Auxiliary Power
wiring that supplies both power and data to
the touchscreen.

6 P-TS7 User Manual
ControlDesigner Software
Paradigm ControlDesigner software is used to create graphical layouts and page navigation
features, also known as the configuration file, for the P-TS7 touchscreen.
P-TS7 supports configuration files that are uploaded from the connected Paradigm Processor
or loaded directly to the touchscreen using removable media, such as USB or SD media.
On initial power-up, with no ControlDesigner configuration installed or when the touchscreen
is not bound/connected to a Paradigm Processor, the touchscreen displays the default splash
page which includes the ETC logo and two buttons; {Setup} and {Service Pin}.
Pressing the {Setup} button accesses the Setup menu where setup options and technical
information are displayed. Pressing the {Service Pin} button issues a service pin request to the
Paradigm Processor over the control network. When the touchscreen is bound/connected, the
configuration file will begin to load.
