Chapter 1. Introduction
The TPD series and VPD series devices are part of the TouchPAD series that includes a tiny
touch HMI interface and are designed for building and home automation. The TouchPAD
series is equipped with a high resolution TFT color touch screen and can be installed using
a regular electrical wall-mount outlet. The TouchPAD series can also be seamlessly
integrated with rich I/O modules and provides a beautiful, flexible and customized screen
display. In short, the TouchPAD series is the best choice when upgrading from the
mechanical switches to intelligent control pads.
For PLC users, the HMIWorks utility includes Ladder Designer, and for IT users, a C
language environment is provided. It takes less than 30 minutes to learn how to create an
application for a TouchPAD device when using Ladder Designer. With all the features
provided, TouchPAD touch HMI devices are possibly the most cost-effective HMI device
solution that has been created.
