LAUER AVTCE210.2 Industrial Vision and Control Terminal

General Description

The LAUER AVTCE210.2 is a sophisticated industrial terminal that combines high‑resolution display capabilities with robust computing power, designed for advanced visualization and control tasks in automated production environments. This unit belongs to the AVT (Advanced Visual Terminal) series and offers a versatile platform for SCADA, machine monitoring, and even entry‑level vision inspection applications.

Display and Touchscreen

The AVTCE210.2 features a 12.1‑inch TFT display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 (WXGA), an LED backlight with 500 cd/m² brightness, and a contrast ratio of 1000:1. The display is optically bonded to a projected capacitive touchscreen that supports multi‑touch gestures and gloved operation. An anti‑glare and anti‑fingerprint coating ensures clarity in bright lighting. The screen has a wide viewing angle (170° horizontal and vertical) for readability from various positions.

Processor and System Architecture

The terminal is powered by an Intel Celeron N2930 quad‑core processor (1.83 GHz, turbo up to 2.16 GHz) with 4 GB of DDR3L RAM and 64 GB of eMMC storage. For data‑intensive applications, a microSD card slot supports up to 64 GB of additional storage. The unit includes a hardware watchdog, a real‑time clock with a battery backup, and an internal speaker for audio alarms.

Interfaces and Connectivity

• Ethernet: 2x 10/100/1000 Mbps (RJ45) with teaming capability

• USB: 3x USB 2.0 (Type‑A), 1x USB 3.0

• Serial: 1x RS‑232 (9‑pin), 1x RS‑422/485 (switchable)

• Video Input: 1x composite (CVBS) for camera connection (optional)

• Digital I/O: 4x digital inputs (24 V), 2x digital outputs (24 V, 0.5 A) – for direct machine interfacing

• Power: 24 V DC (18‑36 V), with EMC filter

Environmental and Mechanical Data

• Housing: Powder‑coated steel, front IP65, rear IP20

• Mounting: Panel‑mount (cut‑out 285 mm x 185 mm) or VESA 75/100

• Dimensions: 315 mm x 215 mm x 55 mm (W x H x D)

• Weight: 3.0 kg

• Operating Temperature: 0 °C to 50 °C

• Storage Temperature: –20 °C to 70 °C

• Humidity: 10 – 90 % (non‑condensing)

• Vibration: 1 g (5‑500 Hz) per IEC 60068‑2‑6

Software and Operating System

The AVTCE210.2 runs Windows Embedded Standard 8 (or Windows 10 IoT Enterprise as an option) and includes the LAUER ProVisIT runtime as standard. The software environment supports OPC DA, OPC UA, and a rich set of communication drivers for major PLC brands. For vision applications, the unit can be equipped with the LAUER Vision Toolkit, which provides libraries for pattern matching, measurement, and barcode reading using standard USB cameras.

Installation and Commissioning

Install the unit in a panel or on a VESA mount. For panel mounting, cut the required opening, insert the terminal, and secure with the provided clamps. Connect the 24 V DC power supply (two‑pin terminal block) and ensure the earth ground is connected. Attach the Ethernet cables and any peripheral devices (keyboard, mouse, camera). Power on the unit; it will boot into Windows. Complete the setup wizard for language, time zone, and network settings. Install any additional runtime licenses and restore the application project. The touchscreen calibration is factory‑set; if needed, use the Windows “Tablet PC Settings” tool.

Diagnostics and Maintenance

The terminal provides a system status LED on the front panel (green – normal, yellow – warning, red – fault). The built‑in diagnostics monitor CPU temperature, voltage levels, and disk health. A fanless design ensures silent operation and reduced maintenance. Cleaning of the touchscreen and ventilation openings is recommended quarterly. The internal battery (CR2032) for the RTC should be replaced every 5 years – this requires opening the rear cover. For system recovery, a recovery partition is included; press F8 during boot to enter the repair menu.

Accessories and Variants

The AVTCE210.2 is available with a resistive touchscreen (AVTCE210.1) or with additional memory (8 GB RAM, 128 GB storage). The CE210.2 designation indicates the capacitive touch version. Optional accessories include a desktop stand, a protective screen film, and a camera mount kit. When ordering, specify the part number AVTCE210.2‑C (capacitive) or ‑R (resistive) along with the desired OS version.
