Advantech’s Industrial Automation Group (IAG) has released two new panel PCs – PPC-6150/6170. These 15†and 17†TFT LCD displays come with faster processors, RAID control and multiple expansion slots for increased functionality.
Both units come with the new 35W Intel 3rd Generation Core I processor. The chip is 20 percent quicker than the previous generation and supports 3D visual computing to improve the capabilities of the panel computer for software operation and multi-tasking.
They support RAID 0 and 1 providing real time backup of critical data. In the event of voltage spikes between the PPC and industrial devices the RS-232, 422 and 485 ports are isolated against such energy surges.
