Weather-Resistant Panel PCs for Extreme Temperatures
30/03/2012 Phoenix Contact Ltd
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 with IP65 protection, these panels are weather resistant and are insensitive to humidity and moisture. Further, these devices 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. This means that users get a full-fledged industrial PC equipped with an industrial-grade touch screen and all of the relevant interfaces. It can be used for years as an energy-efficient operating console for machine-related use or outdoors.
