Operating systemA group of programs that control and managethe processes in a computer and its connecteddevices.PPCMCIAPersonal Computer Memory Card InternationalAssociation (PCMCIA)PCTProjected capacitive touchPeer to Peer (P2P)Peer-to-peer is a term used for computers thatare connected to each other in an architecturein which both computers can assume the roleof server and client.PELV (protective extra low voltage)Protective low voltage that provides protectionagainst electric shock. It refers to howmachines are electrically installed – one side ofthe circuit or a point on the PELV circuit'spower source needs to be connected to the pro-tective bonding circuit.Personal computerA personal computer is made up of a centralprocessing unit, RAM, external data storagedevices, an operating system, and applicationprograms, and is connected to peripheraldevices (monitor, printer). PCs can be sta-tionary or portable.Personal Computer Memory Card InternationalAssociation (PCMCIA)PCMCIA Card, also known as PC Card, is astandard for the expansion cards for portablecomputers used in Eaton touch panels. PCMCIAcards are energy-efficient and support hot plug-ging, i.e., they can be replaced during ongoingoperation. Plug and play is supported thanks tothe fact that all the properties required in orderto automatically configure the driver are storedon the card's CIS.PLCProgrammable logic controller The controller orperipheral that is connected to the HMI.PollingCyclical reading of the PLC's addressed vari-ablesPortPorts can be seen as virtual mailboxes for datapackets. A computer can communicate withother computers on 65,536 different ports.ProjectFile containing all the screens with configuredobjects and their assignments so that they canbe loaded onto the HMI as a view unitProject languagesProject languages The texts in a project can besimultaneously stored in more than one lan-guage on the HMI. However, only one of theselanguages can be displayed on the MMI at anyone time. Special functions can be used toswitch to a different language. For a moredetailed description of these special functions,please refer to the GALILEO program.Projected capacitive touchA display designed for high precision, userfriendliness, and durability. It is designed tobring the controls that have now become pre-valent in consumer electronics to machines,with advantages such as a gesture-based userinterface, two-finger multi-touch depending onthe application software being used, intuitiveoperation that enables operators to start work-ing right away, and the fact that no calibration isrequired118 XV300 04/19 MN048017EN www.eaton.eu
