Problem in OMRON touch screen

What size of your display? is it 10,4"? if your display use push-on buttons, try to change buttons, if the 'buttons' just a picture at display, it might be the display interface circuit problem.

Most HMI touch screen systems have a "calibration" process that is in the device's firmware. Have you gone through that process as of yet? If not, try and do so. It may go along way to solving these types of problems.

There could be a problem with the resistor grid or a connection problem from the grid to the controler

Can you explain me please about "Resister Grid"?

Thanks

touch screen

A display screen that is sensitive to the touch of a finger or stylus. Widely used on ATM machines, retail point-of-sale terminals, car navigation systems, medical monitors and industrial control panels, the touch screen offers several advantages. It is resistant to harsh environments, and on-screen buttons created by software enable an infinite number of options to be presented to the user without requiring a keyboard. They also accept hand printing, handwriting and graphics.

All touch screens "digitize" the point of contact on screen into an X-Y coordinate. They fall into two major categories: active digitizer and passive touch screen.

Active Digitizer Tablets

Although graphics tablets have been used in computer-aided design (CAD) and other graphics applications for years, the digitizer technology was embedded behind the screen of tablet PCs in order to operate the computer with the precision of a mouse.

A stylus is used to transmit an electromagnetic signal to an X-Y grid, which has a very high resolution. Either by being wired to the unit or from a tiny battery, the stylus may be self powered, or it may obtain its power from the tablet surface, which alternates between transmitting and receiving. Tablet PCs may use both active digitizer and passive touch screen technologies, offering both stylus-based precision and finger-based simplicity. See digitizer tablet.

Passive Touch Screens

Resistive

Resistive screens are pressure sensitive and can be touched with a finger, stylus or just about any pointed object. They use two active layers: a flexible plastic layer on top of a rigid plastic or glass layer, with insulated spacers in between. The layers are coated with indium tin oxide, and different voltages are applied across the coatings, typically alternating between the layers. When touched, the front layer picks up the voltage from the back, and the back layer picks up the voltage from the front, enabling the controller to determine the X-Y location.

Although the least expensive, the resistive method blocks up to 30% of the light from the CRT or LCD screen due to the multiple layers and coatings.

Capacitive

The capacitive method uses only one active layer: a metallic coated glass panel, thus allowing more light to come through. Voltage is applied to the corners of the screen, and when a finger touches the screen, it draws a tiny amount of current. The controller computes the X-Y location from the change in capacitance caused by that touch point. Because the human body absorbs current, the finger must be used and not a plastic stylus.

A variation called "projected capacitive" uses a sensor grid sandwiched between two glass layers. When the screen is touched, the controller computes the X-Y location from the change in capacitance in the grid. The grid also enables two-finger touching like Apple's multitouch iPhone. Although the grid is embedded and protected, the screen can be overlaid with a clear, heavy-duty glass layer for more protection.

Acoustic Waves and Infrared

Acoustic waves or infrared signals are transmitted across the screen's external surface from the top and side. When the screen is touched, receivers at the opposite ends form an X-Y matrix and sense the blocked signals. Since these methods do not use active layers over the screen, they do not block any light. The screens can also be overlaid with a clear, heavy-duty glass layer for protection.

Pressure Sensitive

Keytec makes a wide variety of resistive touch screens that can be touched with the finger or any stylus-like object. When the plastic layer is pushed into the glass layer, it diverts the current. (Image courtesy of Keytec, Inc., www.magictouch.com)

well here are different techniques employed, i do not know which technique your touchscreen uses

Is this problem solved now? If not you can try to recalibrate the touch screen. My machine also encountered a similar problem, and finally bought a new Omron touch screen, and it will work normally after replacement.
