TM8790 Texas Instruments AutoID Terminal

The Intelligent Instrumentation TM8701 / TM8790 AutoID Terminal is a heavy-duty data entry/display terminal with the versatility to meet the varied needs of industrial data collection. Its display is readable from at least 10 feet. A large, rugged alphanumeric keyboard makes data entry easy even for gloved operators. The terminals provide all the standard functionality of Intelligent Instrumentation's popular on-line terminals, while adding the benefit of stand-alone operation in case of host computer or communication failure.

The TM8701 / TM8790 is ideal for applications requiring installation in a hosedown enclosure. For applications not requiring hose-proof installation, the terminal can also be mounted with the adjustable tilt wall/desk stand. Low-cost multidrop wiring makes it practical to place a TM8701 / TM8790 at every workstation on your manufacturing floor. Whether the application calls for simple keyboard entry or a complex multifunction workstation, the modular design of the TM8701 / TM8790 allows it to change and expand with your needs. Various communications interfaces and input/output options are selected by easily installed modules that may be added or changed at any time.

Both the communications and barcode options are built-in. Auxiliary modules connect to parallel printers, RS232 serial devices, digital inputs and outputs, or production machinery. A piezoelectric beeper (volume adjustable) provides audible feedback to the operator. In extremely noisy environments this beeper can be mounted outside the terminal for additional volume.
