Experiencing difficulties with an older PanelView touch screen not responding properly? The screen is connected to a Desktop computer and is used as a touch display. Tried downloading driver updates from Rockwell for the PanelView, as well as using Egalaxtouch with the latest driver, but still no success. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. The model in question is the Panelview Allen Bradley 6176m-17pt series c. If you have any insights or solutions, please share.
Was the previous PC compatible with the touchscreen monitor? If it was, the issue might be due to a hardware failure or a driver compatibility problem caused by an OS update. What driver did you eventually use for the replacement unit? We upgraded several old monitors with the 6176M-15PT models, which required different driver packages: 6186M_6176M_Touch_EETI_XP_5.11.29.9628 and eGalaxTouch_5.14.0.15315. What operating system is running on your PC? We used the first driver for older XP systems, but you may need the eGalaxTouch driver for a newer OS. Unfortunately, I cannot provide much assistance with that. When we had to replace the original screen on a newer machine, we switched to an Exor unit after the 6176M was discontinued. This presented its own challenges, but that's a story for another time...
Hello, I am experiencing issues with my old 6176M-15PT touchscreen monitor. Although the monitor itself is functioning properly, the resistive touchscreen is not responding as expected. I am currently using a laptop running Windows XP Professional and have installed the eGalaxTouch drivers recommended by Joesph_e2. However, the touchscreen does not seem to be recognizing any input and I am unable to calibrate it. When I connect the touchscreen to my laptop via USB cable, I notice that the touch response is somewhat inaccurate - for example, when I touch the lower right corner, the mouse pointer appears in the upper left corner. I am seeking advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Additionally, hbelec4, have you managed to resolve the issue you were experiencing?
