Panel Summary
The iMC-Panel-100 is a configurable master control panel. It has two parts:
• 3RU rack-mountable button panel, 19.0 ″ wide × 5.22″ high × 3.7″ deep.
You can also mount the button panel in a recess of a console surface.
The rear of the panel includes 2 USB ports, one VGA port, 2 (redundant) power supply connec-
tors (Molex 4-pin), an Ethernet port, GPI/alarm connector, and fan outlet.
• VGA display.
The VGA display is third-party equipment you must purchase separately. We recommend, and
support, the Planar series of touchscreen monitors. This guide describes the Planar PT1495R
19
″ monitor.
Touchscreen monitors from other manufacturers will probably not work as part of the iMC-
Panel-100. However, most non-touchscreen VGA monitors will work as part of the iMC-Panel-
100. The monitor you use must have a screen resolution of at least 1280×1024 pixels. The iMC-
Panel-100 supports resolutions up to 1920×1200.
A mouse must be used with a non-touchscreen monitor.
The display provides a menu and a number of “soft” function buttons.
Button Panel
At the front of the iMC-Panel-100’s button panel are 41 color-coded LCD buttons and 6 knobs
(a.k.a. rotary encoders). Each LCD button has a 64×32 graphic display that usually shows 3 lines of
text, 8 characters per line. Sometimes a button can show graphics, as does the ‘Transition’ button at
the lower right.
