Advantech's FPM-2150 Series consists of 15" color TFT LCD flat panel
monitors built specifically for industrial applications. With the optional
touchscreen, the FPM-2150 Series is an user-friendly system control
interface.
In addition to its usual application as an LCD panel monitor, the FPM-
2150 Series comes standard with Direct VGA control signal input, mak-
ing it compatible with industrial PCs and workstations.
The OSD (On Screen Display) function allows you to adjust the display
and turn the backlight on and off, a function that is highly appreciated
among experienced users of industrial flat panel monitors.
The whole chassis is made of durable steel, and the front panel is of Al-
Mg with NEMA4/IP65 compliance.

Multiple Monitors
Multiple Monitors supports from two to six touch screen displays for one
system. The PenMount drivers for Windows 2000/XP support Multiple
Monitors. This function supports from two to six touch screen displays
for one system. Each monitor requires its own PenMount touch screen
control board, either installed inside the display or in a central unit. The
PenMount control boards must be connected to the computer COM ports
via the RS-232 interface. Driver installation procedures are the same as
for a single monitor. Multiple Monitors supports the following modes:
