TOUCHSTAR INFORMATION SYSTEMS OVERVIEW

Citadel’s TouchStar Information Systems are PC-compatible

computers ruggedized to withstand the physical shock, vibra-

tion and temperature extremes of harsh industrial or commer-

cial environments. All TouchStar systems provide a touchscreen,

10.4" display (either electroluminescent or LCD) multiple

network options and full I/O capability. Each TouchStar system

is fully PC-compatible with MS-DOS, Versions 3.3 through 6.22,

Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Windows 3.1, Windows 95, and

Windows NT operating systems.

Figure 1. The TouchStar Information System

(Shown with two power supply options; optional mounting brackets not shown)

TS9000

The TS9000 is designed for fixed-mount applications. It is

supply. It is hard-wired into the local area network (LAN).

Standard Ethernet or Token Ring hard-wired LAN connections

are supported. The TS9000 can also be equipped with wireless

(RF) network communications and used in fixed-mount applica-

tions where the installation of a hard-wired LAN is not practical

or cost-effective.

TS9000/TS9050 TouchStar Systems User Manual

TS9050

The TS9050 is designed for vehicular-mounted applications

such as on forklifts, hostlers and motorized pallets. It is pow-

ered from the vehicle’s electrical system (battery) through a

power converter. It uses a 2.4 GHz spread-spectrum radio link

to communicate with (RF) network access points hard-wired

into the LAN. Antenna options include patch and “rubber

duck” types. Antenna connectors are non-standard to prevent

antenna substitution and resultant operation in violation of FCC

regulations.

Front Panel

The TouchStar front panel consists of a gasketed infrared

touchscreen mounted over a flat-panel video display. The

TouchStar is operated by touching the screen to activate func-

tions and initiate actions. Programming guidelines for touch-

screen-based applications are provided in separate manuals,

Touchscreen Driver for DOS and Touchscreen Driver for Windows.

An on-line help file is available for Windows 95 and Windows NT.

Press the help key to access the appropriate help file.

The TouchStar is factory-configured with either an electrolumi-

nescent or active-matrix LCD flat-panel display system. All

touchscreen/display combinations operate in a similar manner.

The type of display provided in your particular TouchStar

model is matched to the specific requirements of your applica-

tion including ambient lighting, available viewing angle and

environmental extremes.

Rear Panel

All cabled connections to the TouchStar are made through the

rear panel, with the exception of the RF connection in wireless

communication-equipped systems. Located on the rear panel

are a RESET button, a power connector, a parallel I/O connec-

tor, two serial I/O connectors, and dual PCMCIA slots. Also

located on the rear panel are connectors for an external PS/2

keyboard, mouse, network connections, stereo speaker and

microphone connections, and a locking keyboard connector. To

use the locking keyboard connector, please contact Citadel

Computer Corporation to order the mating cable.

• CPU and Memory

The TouchStar is shipped with a 5X86 central processor unit

(CPU). The system is configured with either 2MB or 4MB of

non-volatile, solid-state FLASH memory to emulate stan-

dard drive functions. System memory is supplied as 4MB,

8MB, 12MB, 16MB, 20MB, 24MB, or 32MB of dynamic RAM

(DRAM). The specific memory configuration is determined

at the time the system is ordered. The FLASH device may be

configured as drive c: or d:. Please refer to Table 1.

• System Software

A 256Kx8 flash device contains the System BIOS, the Video

BIOS, and a Setup Utility.

• Network Interface Card and Software

The TouchStar is shipped with an on board single-chip

ethernet controller. The TouchStar may also be factory

configured with a Local Area Network Interface Card (NIC)

installed in the system expansion slot. The specific NIC is

determined by the type of network to be used, i.e. hard-

wired or wireless. Each NIC has a unique hardware address

and interrupt and DMA channel assignments, but no logical

unit designation. The NIC allows the TouchStar to be

configured for a variety of network environments.

The TouchStar is shipped with network protocol layers that

are specific to the operating system or NIC. For the

TouchStar to communicate with the network it requires the

installation of a network driver (IPX). Both ODI and NDIS

drivers support standard LAN operating systems.

• ATA Socket

The TouchStar is equipped with an internal dedicated ATA

socket. The socket can be accessed by removing the rear

cover. A standard Type II or Type III PC card, such as a

Flash Card or miniature disk drive, can be installed. The

ATA socket and on-board Flash memory are configured via

jumper JP7, located adjacent to the socket. Please refer to

figure 4 and Table 1.
