Important User Information
Solid state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of electromechanical equipment. Safety Guidelines
for the Application, Installation and Maintenance of Solid State Controls (publication SGI-1.1 available from your local
Rockwell Automation sales office or online at http://literature.rockwellautomation.com) describes some important differences
between solid state equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices. Because of this difference, and also because of the
wide variety of uses for solid state equipment, all persons responsible for applying this equipment must satisfy themselves
that each intended application of this equipment is acceptable.
In no event will Rockwell Automation, Inc. be responsible or liable for indirect or consequential damages resulting from the
use or application of this equipment.
The examples and diagrams in this manual are included solely for illustrative purposes. Because of the many variables and
requirements associated with any particular installation, Rockwell Automation, Inc. cannot assume responsibility or liability

Overview
The Integrated Display computers feature 12.1, 15, and 17-inch
displays with a resistive touch screen option. When panel space is
limited, the 12.1 inch model provides product information within a
small space. For operations where it is important to view every aspect
of a process, the 15 and 17-inch displays provide the necessary detail.
These panel-mounted computers combine an industrially hardened
monitor and computer in a single machine, providing computing
power for visual interface, maintenance, and basic information
applications. Because there are no external monitor cables or separate
component mounting requirements, system integration is simplified.
The computers provide serial and Ethernet communication ports.
