The LabVIEW HMI family of industrial panels provides three different hardware platforms so LabVIEW developers and programmers can deploy operator interfaces alongside a broad range of NI product platforms. The National Instruments FPT-1015 is a 15 in. flat-panel touch screen for all PXI embedded controllers and a flat-panel monitor for the NI Compact Vision System. The NI TPC-2006 is a 5.7 in. Windows CE touch panel computer programmed with LabVIEW PDA to create a remote terminal for headless real-time controllers such as Compact FieldPoint and CompactRIO. The NI PPC-2015 is a Pentium 4 PC that runs Windows XP and works with a wide range of I/O devices from National instruments; it connects via Ethernet to all NI PACs. To create an HMI for a broad range of distributed data the LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory Control (DSC) Module provides connectivity to NI hardware and third-party hardware through OPC, Modbus TCP/IP, and gateways for industrial communication protocols.
