Miniature touch panel computer

24 April 2002 Computer/Embedded Technology

Advantech has introduced a new miniature touch panel computer. The TPC-650 is a 1,7 kg PentiumMMX 266 PC with VGA TFT or STN LCD display. With the high quality touchscreen, the TPC-650 is highly suited for applications requiring rugged yet convenient human-machine interfaces.

The TPC-650 has two alternative LCD displays: 6,4" TFT LCD with VGA (640x480) resolution and 300 cd/m2 luminance or 5,7" STN LCD with QVGA (320x240) resolution and 110 cd/m2 luminance. Another feature is the fan-less Pentium MMX kernel. Unlike platforms made with RISC processors, the TPC-650's x86 kernel is an open and easily expandable structure. Furthermore, it provides a 16-bit PC/104 expansion slot, and depending on the programmer's needs, a variety of applications can be developed.

The TPC-650 utilises a CompactFlash memory card storage device instead of damage-prone hard disk drives. Together with the NEMA4/IP65 compliant front bezel and fan-less feature, the solid-state TPC-650 can endure harsh environments.

Advantech offers WindowsCE OS and Windows CE HMI software packages for end users. A factory option allows users to choose a TPC-650 with Windows CE OS on the CompactFlash memory card or Windows CE OS as well as Advantech HMI software integrated on the CompactFlash memory card. These pre-installed software environments could facilitate the actual end-user applications or towards developing new application software.
