Programming

Uticor Touchpanels can be programmed in multiple ways: serial connection, Ethernet connection, USB Flash Drive, USB cable, or using a Compact Flash card (depending on the model). Uticor's programming software (UT-PANELEDIT) automatically lists the different programming methods available based on the model type. In addition, with our patented OEM Packager, a user can upload a new program using an .exe executable file, rather than having to use the full programming software. See examples of programming options below:

RS232 programming cable (UT-PGMCBL)
Connect an Uticor SE series, CE panel, or FSpanel equipped with an RMC (Remote Monitoring and Control) card, to a PC via an Ethernet hub or switch,and CAT5 Ethernet cables.
Use an Ethernet crossover cable between a PC Ethernet port and an Uticor SE series, CE panel, or FS panel equipped with an RMC (RemoteMonitoring and Control) card.
Connect a USB Programming Cable from a USB porttype A on the PC to the USB type A programming porton the Windows HMI touch panel. The USB connectionis for direct connection only and does not support USBhubs.

Use the table (shown right) to compare communication capabilities between models.

USB Port

On SE/CE Models, this port can be used for Data Logging/Storage capabilities directly to a Flash Drive, which is both hot-swappable and accessible remotely. On SE Models, users can also use a USB Flash Drive with a preloaded file for programming.

On Windows 7 Panels, the 3 Port A USBs can be used to connect various USB HID (Human Input Device) devices to the panel, such as: Scanners, Printers, Cameras, Weigh scales, keyboards, etc. These 3 ports can also support a HUB connection for additional connections.

The fourth USB port is configured as a Port B device with a Port A connector. This allows the Windows HMI to be programmed via USB using a standard A-to-A USB cable.

Ethernet Port

All models ending in -SE (SE Series), or -E (Windows CE or Windows 7 Embedded) are capable of both PC and PLC communications simultaneously through the Ethernet Port.
