Preface Preface The TP series is a small HMI (human machine interface) with big features. It allows users to monitor and control PLCs, Variable Frequency Drives, and other controllers. The TP series may also be purchased with graphic capabilities (TP--G models). The TP series products are programmed using the TPEdit software. Getting Started Users should read the entire manual before using the TPEdit software or TP series hardware.
