The new Basicline 2000 box PCs from Phoenix Contact, for use in harsh industrial environments, offer powerful third-generation, quad-core Intel processors (Bay Trail) in fanless housing.
The devices can perform simple control and communication tasks and collect data in the areas of machine building and systems manufacturing, building automation, traffic technology and energy data transmission. They are also designed for maintenance-free, continuous operation, even where there are high temperature, vibration, shock and EMC requirements.
The PC uses the powerful Intel Celeron N2930 processor (up to 2,16 GHz) with integrated HD graphics processor. It can be used for a wide range of applications thanks to its numerous interfaces, which include 4 x USB, 2 x DisplayPort and 3 x COM. Two Gigabit Ethernet ports are also available, as is CFast, HDD or SSD mass storage. The RAM can be expanded up to 8 GB DDR3.
With a thermal design power (TDP) of 7,5 W, the box PC is particularly energy efficient. It is also designed for a temperature range of 0°C to +50°C and an input voltage of 24 V d.c. (±20%). Its compact design measuring 162 x 145 x 49 mm means it can be mounted directly on a DIN rail.
