Weather-resistant panel PCs

21 March 2012 Computer/Embedded Technology

Phoenix Contact has expanded its range of VMT 3000 panel PCs to include a device with a 10,4” high-resolution display with IP65 protection. This display was specifically developed for use under harsh industrial conditions and has a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels.

These panel PCs are distinguished by an attractive enclosure manufactured out of solid die-cast aluminium. As a result of the dust-protected and waterproof enclosure, these panels are weather resistant and are insensitive to humidity and moisture. Furthermore, they can be used in extreme temperatures ranging from -20°C up to +55°C, which allows them to be employed outdoors and in refrigeration systems. They can be optionally equipped with a sunlight readable display which allows them to be used even in direct sunlight.

The panels are especially energy efficient thanks to their Intel Atom platform, a combination of a highly integrated chipset and a power-saving processor. The Atom processor can either be clocked at 1,1 GHz or 1,6 GHz, and has a thermal design power (TDP) of 2,5 W.

The lower power consumption is also noticeable in the lower amount of heat generated. The device does not require a fan and users get a full-fledged industrial PC equipped with an industrial-grade touch screen and all of the relevant interfaces.
