This training webinar introduces ICP DAS USA’s newest TouchPad “H” series and explains what’s improved compared to previous TouchPad generations. It provides an overview of the TPD and VPD product lines, including model selection guidance based on screen size, mounting options, communication interfaces (RS-485 for Modbus RTU/DCON vs. Ethernet for Modbus TCP), PoE power options, real-time clock availability, and whether an IP65 front panel is needed for industrial environments. The video also walks through the process of migrating older TouchPad projects into the new H-version hardware using HMIWorks, covering the required software version, project configuration changes, and rebuild steps to ensure compatibility. Finally, it shares real-world application examples showing how TouchPads are used as combined HMI + controller devices for building automation and machine interface projects—reading data from remote I/O, displaying status, and issuing control commands from a compact touchscreen.
