Advantech has introduced a powerful integrated touch-panel computer that is designed for use in industrial automation applications.
Advantech has introduced a powerful integrated touch-panel computer that is designed for use in industrial automation applications.
The rugged TPC-1560 has a 15in colour TFT display and a resistive touch screen user interface.
A slim 55mm enclosure houses a powerful and reliable, fanless 500MHz Crusoe 5400 CPU and 128Mbyte DRAM that provide fast execution of operator inputs.
Compatibility with Windows 9x/NT/2000/CE software makes the TPC-1560 suitable for a wide range of customer applications.
A PC/104 expansion slot and onboard provision for a fast-docking single 2.5in HDD give a high degree of versatility.
This is further enhanced by a single type-II CompactFlash slot.
The input power requirements of the TPC-1560 are 24V DC at a maximum rating of 2A.
The TPC-1560 weighs 3.8kg and has overall dimensions of just 383 x 307 x 55mm.
A strong IP65 rated, lightweight magnesium alloy front bezel is combined with a tough moulded plastic rear housing to give a unit that can be used in harsh industrial environments.
The computer can operate at temperatures ranging from 0 to +50C and relative humidities up to 95%.
The TPC-1560 is BSMI certified for electromagnetic interference, and also meets class A requirements for CE, FCC compliance.
With a viewing angle of 140 degrees and luminance of 350cd/m2, the TFT LCD can be viewed clearly in most environments.
Additionally, up to 16 million colours and an on-screen resolution of 1024 x 768 give the user quick and easy recognition of displayed information.
The eight-wire analogue resistive touch panel that is overlaid on the TFT display provides continuous resolution and a minimum light transmission of 75%.
It has a specified lifetime of 100 million operations.
Communications and peripheral interconnectivity are well catered for on Advantech's TPC-1560.
A single PS/2 port is provided for either individual or simultaneous connection of a mouse and keyboard, whilst two USB ports enable connection of serial data devices.
I/O ports provided include: three serial ports (two RS-232 and one auto data flow control RS-232/422/485), one parallel port, one 10/1 port, one VGA port and MCA line out jacks.
