Panel PC aims for industrial control
ICP has launched the Rack-6U panel PC based on the mini-ITX series of mainboards, targeted at industrial control and monitoring applications in production environments.
Flash modules come with IDE connection
New small-form-factor, low-cost Flash memory modules attach directly to a mainboard IDE connector and provide an ideal memory solution for a wide range of industrial and embedded applications.
The three boards are the EPIA MI12000 board with PCMCIA card support, the EPIA PD10000 mini-ITX board with dual LAN capability, and the EPIA ME6000 mainboard for very low power and fanless operation.
The Pack-Box measures only 190 x 190 x 83mm and comes equipped with a 2.5in 60Gbyte hard drive and a 180W PFC power supply as standard.
Versions are also available with power supplies requiring a 12V DC input only.
(The 12V DC input version requires either the ICP "PW-200M" or "PW-200V" 200W DC-ATX convertor card depending on which EPIA mainboard is used).
A PCI slot is also available for an additional network port or modem.
"We are very pleased that we can now offer this new rugged design Pack-Box PC for monitoring and control functions in factory and production environments.
It is also very well suited to kiosk applications.
A modem or network connection allows the Pack-Box PC to be remotely updated", said Kevan Wells, Project Manager of ICP.
The EPIA MII12000 mini-ITX form factor (170 x 170mm) mainboard uses the 1.2GHz Via C3 processor, a Via CLE266 chipset, and implements four USB 2.0 ports, one LAN port, CardBus/CompactFlash card support, LVDS support and up to 1Gbyte of DDR200/266/333 memory.
The EPIA PD10000 uses the Via C3 1GHz processor, a Via CLE266 chipset, six USB2.0 ports, two LAN ports, LVDS support, and up to 1Gbyte of DDR266 memory.
The EPIAM ME6000 uses the fanless Via Eden 600MHz processor and implements the Via CLE266 chipset, four USB2.0 ports, one LAN port, LVDS support, and up to 1Gbyte DDR 266 memory.
