Product Warranty (2 years)
Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its prod-
ucts will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for two years
from the date of purchase.
This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or
altered by persons other than repair personnel authorized by Advantech,
or which have been subject to misuse, abuse, accident or improper instal-
lation. Advantech assumes no liability under the terms of this warranty as
a consequence of such events.
Because of Advantech’s high quality-control standards and rigorous test-

onscreen messages you get when the problem occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your man-
ual, product, and any helpful information readily available.
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return

Chapter 1 General Information
1.1 Introduction

The TPC-1770/1780 TPC is state-of-the-art HMI. This 17" display opera-


tor interface is an x86-based platform with these key features:
Fanless:
By using a low power processor, the system does not have to rely on fans,
which are unreliable, and cause dust to circulate inside the equipment.
Bright Display:
The bright TFT LCD display suits industrial demands for clear interfaces.
Powerful Communication Capability:
The TPC-1770/1780 provides powerful IO interface for easily communi-
cating with other devices. The IO interface includes serial ports, Ethernet
and USB 2.0 support.
Embedded Windows Support:
In addition to the OS support of Windows XP, Advantech offers platform
support for XP embedded.

Windows XP Embedded
Sections include:
• EWF
• HORM
• Advantech Utilities
Chapter 5 Windows XP Embedded
TPC-1770/1780 is in support of embedded windows platform. This sec-
tion is to state the important features, EWF and HORN, provided in win-
dows XP embedded.

5.1 EWF

EWF stands for Enhanced Write Filter. It provides an upper filter in the
storage device driver stack that redirects disk write operations to volatile
(RAM) or non-volatile (disk) storage. EWF protects a volume from write
access. The benefits are as the following.
Write-protect one or more partitions on your system.
Enable read-only media, such as CD-ROM or flash, to boot and run.
Prolong the lifespan of write-sensitive storage, such as CompactFlash.

TPC-1770/1780 XPE provides EWF RAM RDG mode on system parti-


tion. All wirte to system partition will be redirected to RAM once this
mode is enabled. This mode is manually enabled by customers after they
finish all their changes on system such as installing their applications or
adjusting system setting.

Advantech provides a pair of utilities to operate EWF, OSLock and


OSUnLock. The setting is stated in the section later.

5.2 HORM

HORM stands for Hibernate Once Resume Many. In HORM environ-


ment, a single hibernation file is used to boot the system repeatedly. To
set a HORM environment, please follow the steps below.
Please make sure EWF is disabled. You can run OSUnLock to disable
EWF.
Enable hibernation support:
Run ‘power options’ in control panel, and then select ‘Enable Hiberna-
tion’ in hibernation pane.

TPC-1770/1780 User Manual 26


Enable EWF:
Run OSLock, and then system reboot automatically.
Open those software that customers want to directly use after system
resume from hibernation.
Hibernate via Advantech HORM utility:
Please Click Start Menu->All Programs->Advantech->HORM

HORM environment remains all along unless the following events occur:
Run EWF commit command (ewfmgr c: -commit) and then reboot.
Select “Discard hibernation file” by clicking F8 when system is starting

Also, HORM cannot fit your system if free space in C partition is not
enough. The hibernation file required is dependent on the RAM size you
use on the system. In other words, the hibernation file is 512MB that is
the same as memory size used on TPC-1770/1780.

5.3 Advantech Utilities

5.3.1 Version Information


Start menu-> All Programs -> Advantech
This states the current XPE runtime information including hardware plat-
form, version, build number, release date, XPE QFEs installed in compo-
nent database and XP Pro Patches you installed manually.

5.3.2 EWF Enable and Disable


The two utilities assist users to enable or disable EWF. Please go to Start
Menu-> All Programs-> Advantech. The default setting of EWF is dis-
abled. Users can protect C partition from any disk writing via OSLock
that is to enable EWF RAM REG Mode. In this mode, any changes on C
partition including modification on files or registry will be redirected to
memory, thus these changes will be discarded in the next system startup.

To exit this environment is via OSUnLock. Please visit MSDN website


for further information about EWF.

27 Chapter 5
5.3.3 HORM
This is to create HORM environment. Please go to Start Menu-> All Pro-
grams-> Advantech. This utility firstly dismounts all local physical vol-
umes that are not protected by EWF. It requires users to input the volume
list.

Please follow the steps before running this utility to create full HORM
environment.
Enable Hibernation via Power Options in Control Panel
Make C: partition EWF-enabled via OSLock
Make sure that all volumes to be dismounted are not in use.

Watchdog Timer
Programming
Appendix A WDT Programming
A.1 Overview

The TPC-1770/1780 cards’ watchdog timer can be used to monitor sys-


tem software operation and take corrective action if the software fails to
function after the programmed period. This section describes the opera-
tion of the watchdog timer, and how to program it.
The watchdog timer is built into the super I/O controller
