Product Warranty (1 year)  
Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its prod-  
ucts will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for one year  
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-  
ing, most of our customers never need to use our repair service. If an  
Advantech product is defective, it will be repaired or replaced at no  
charge during the warranty period. For out-of-warranty repairs, you will  
be billed according to the cost of replacement materials, service time and  
freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.  
If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:  
1.  
Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For  
example, CPU speed, Advantech products used, other hardware  
and software used, etc.) Note anything abnormal and list any  
onscreen messages you get when the problem occurs.  
2.  
3.  
Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your man-  
ual, product, and any helpful information readily available.  
If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return  
merchandize authorization) number from your dealer. This allows  
us to process your return more quickly.  
4.  
5.  
Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair and  
Replacement Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date  
(such as your sales receipt) in a shippable container. A product  
returned without proof of the purchase date is not eligible for war-  
ranty service.  
Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and  
ship it prepaid to your dealer.

Chapter 1 General Information  
1.1 Introduction  
The TPC-660G touch panel computer is a state-of-the-art HMI (Human  
Machine Interface). This operator interface with a 6.4” display 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 often are unreliable and causes dust to circulate inside the  
equipment.  
• Bright Display  
The TFT LCD display suits industrial demands for clear interfaces.  
• Powerful Communication Capability  
TPC-660G provides a powerful I/O interface for easily communicating  
with other devices. The I/O interface includes serial ports, Ethernet and  
USB 2.0 support. TPC-660G also supports the expansion slot PC-104.  
This makes it easy to expand with the required PC-104 modules.  
• Windows CE Support  
In addition to the OS support of Windows XP, Advantech offers plat-  
form support for Windows CE and Windows XP embedded. The  
optional Windows CE operating system specifically for the TPC-660G  
is available for Windows CE application program builders.

Chapter 5 Features in Windows XP  
Embedded  
TPC-660G supports the embedded Windows platform. This section out-  
lines the important features (EWF and HORM), that are 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-660G XPE provides EWF RAM RDG mode on system partition.  
All wirte to system partition will be redirected to RMA 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 adjust-  
ing 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.  
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 sys-  
tem.  
Select “Discard hibernation file” by clicking F8 when system is starting  
up  
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-660G-A1 or TPC-660G-B1.  
5.3 Advantech Utilities  
TPC-660G provides the useful utilities for users to configure the HORM  
and EWF.

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 OSLock and OSUnLock  
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.  
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.

Appendix A Serial Port Settings  
There are two serial ports, COM1 and COM2, on TPC-660G. The serial  
port, COM1, supports standard RS-232 and the serial port COM2 on the  
TPC-660G is adjustable. It can be set to RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485.  
This port is designed with auto data flow control capability. In other  
word, the TPC-660G can automatically detect the data flow direction at  
this port when the two wired RS-485 communication is activated. Please

Appendix B Watchdog Timer  
Programming  
B.1 Overview  
The TPC-660G watchdog timer can be used to monitor system software  
operation and take corrective action if the software fails to function after  
the programmed period. This section describes the operation of the  
watchdog timer, and how to program it.  
The watchdog timer is built into the super I/O controller W83627HF. It  
provides the following functions for user programming:  
• Can be enabled and disabled by user's program.  
• Timer can be set from 1 to 255 seconds or 1 to 255 minutes.  
• Generates an interrupt or resets signal if the software fails to reset the  
timer after time-out.

B.2 Watchdog Timer Programming  
The I/O port address of the watchdog timer is 2E(hex) and 2F(hex), 2E  
(hex) is the address port. 2F(hex) is the data port. You must first assign  
the address of register by writing address value into address port 2E(hex),  
then write/read data to/from the assigned register through data port 2F  
(hex).

Appendix C Watchdog Timer Program-  
ming on WinCE  
There is a built-in watchdog timer in Windows CE 4.2 for TPC-660G.  
You can access it through the WIN32 API. TPC-660G provides a WDT  
driver to allow users to enable/disable the watchdog timer. The driver  
name is “WDT1:”. Programmers must open this driver before using the  
resources. Then programmers can use DeviceIOControl functions to  
enable/disable the watchdog timer. The introduction below includes  
DeviceIOControl, the definition of the parameter and an example.  
C.1 DeviceIOControl  
This function sends a control code directly to a specified device driver,  
causing the corresponding device to perform the specified operation.  
BOOL DeviceIoControl(  
HANDLE hDevice,  
DWORD dwIoControlCode,  
LPVOID lpInBuffer,  
DWORD nInBufferSize,  
LPVOID lpOutBuffer,  
DWORD nOutBufferSize,  
LPDWORD lpBytesReturned,  
LPOVERLAPPED lpOverlapped );  
TPC-660G User Manual

C.1.1 Parameters  
• hDevice  
[in] Handle to the device that is to perform the operation. Call the Cre-  
ateFile function to obtain a device handle.  
• dwIoControlCode  
[in] Specifies the control code for the operation. This value identifies  
the specific operation to be performed and the type of device on which  
the operation is to be performed. No specific values are defined for the  
dwIoControlCode parameter. However, the writer of a custom device  
driver can define IOCTL_XXXX control codes, per the CTL_CODE  
macro. These control codes can then be advertised, and an application  
can use these control codes with DeviceIoControl to perform driver-  
specific functions.  
• lpInBuffer  
[in] Long pointer to a buffer that contains the data required to perform  
the operation. This parameter can be NULL if the dwIoControlCode  
parameter specifies an operation that does not require input data.  
• nInBufferSize  
[in] Size, in bytes, of the buffer pointed to by lpInBuffer.  
• lpOutBuffer  
[out] Long pointer to a buffer that receives the operation.s output data.  
This parameter can be NULL if the dwIoControlCode parameter speci-  
fies an operation that does not produce output data.  
• nOutBufferSize  
[in] Size, in bytes, of the buffer pointed to by lpOutBuffer.  
• lpBytesReturned  
[out] Long pointer to a variable that receives the size, in bytes, of the  
data stored into the buffer pointed to by lpOutBuffer. The lpBytesRe-  
turned parameter cannot be NULL. Even when an operation produces  
no output data, and lpOutBuffer can be NULL, the DeviceIoControl  
function makes use of the variable pointed to bylpBytesReturned.  
After such an operation, the value of the variable is without meaning.  
• lpOverlapped  
[in] Ignored; set to NULL.  
• Return Values  
Nonzero indicates success. Zero indicates failure. To get extended  
error information, call GetLastError.

C.2 How to Use the Control Code  
There are 6 control codes for the operation codes in the WDT driver.  
C.2.1 IOCTL _WDT_ENABLE:  
Enables the watchdog timer of your application. By default, if the watch-  
dog timer is enabled, the WDT driver will automatically trigger itself  
after the specified period and your application does not need to trigger the  
watchdog timer.  
lpInBuffer: unused.  
nInBufferSize: unused.  
lpOutBuffer: unused.  
nOutBufferSize: unused.  
C.2.2 IOCTL _WDT_DISABLE:  
Disables the watchdog time of your application.  
lpInBuffer : unsed.  
nInBufferSize: unused.  
lpOutBuffer: unused.  
nOutBufferSize: unused.  
C.2.3 IOCTL_WDT_STROBE:  
Triggers the watchdog. If your application uses IOCTL_WDT_ENABLE  
to enable the watchdog first and then sends IOCTL_WDT_REBOOT to  
the WDT driver, your application must trigger the watchdog once during  
the watchdog timer period. If your application has not triggered at the  
specified period, the device will reboot automatically.  
lpInBuffer: unused.  
nInBufferSize: unused.  
lpOutBuffer: unused.  
nOutBufferSize: unused.

C.2.4 IOCTL_WDT_GETTIMEOUT:  
Gets the Watchdog time setting.  
lpInBuffer: unused.  
nInBufferSize: unused.  
lpOutBuffer: The DWORD points to your watchdog time setting. The  
Watchdog time setting is just a number. 0 means 2 seconds, 1 means 5  
seconds, 2 means 10 seconds, 3 means 15 seconds, 4 means 30 seconds, 5  
means 45 seconds and 6 means 60 seconds. The default setting is 5 sec-  
onds.  
nOutBufferSize: unused.  
C.2.5 IOCTL_WDT_SETTIMEOUT:  
Sets the watchdog time setting.  
lpInBuffer : The DWORD points to your watchdog time setting. The  
watchdog time setting is just a number. 0 means 2 seconds, 1 means 5  
seconds, 2 means 10 seconds, 3 means 15 seconds, 4 means 30 seconds, 5  
means 45 seconds and 6 means 60 seconds. The default setting is 5 sec-  
onds.  
nInBufferSize:.unused.  
lpOutBuffer: unused.  
nOutBufferSize: unused.  
C.2.6 IOCTL_WDT_REBOOT:  
If you want your application to trigger the watchdog by itself, please use  
IOCTL_WDT_REBOOT to notify the watchdog driver timer (WDT).  
Otherwise, the WDT will trigger itself automatically.  
lpInBuffer :unused.  
nInBufferSize: unused.  
lpOutBuffer: unused.  
nOutBufferSize: unused.
