Bangkok--22 Nov--Advantech Corporation
Taipei —Advantech, the embedded platform and integration services provider, is happy to announce the launch of PPC-179T, a new, multifunctional Panel PC system powered by an Intel Core?2 Duo LGA775 socket-based processor. PPC-179T optimizes cost efficiency by offering a choice in CPU selection. Users can choose a CPU that fits their specific application and budget requirements. Dual expansion slots and a rich array of I/O ports allow great expandability extending the capability of PPC-179T. These features, combined with Advantech's global service and robust design, make PPC-179T one of the best HMI (human machine interface) systems available, as well as allowing it to fill a central role in many computing scenarios in a variety of harsh environments.
Extensive Range of Processors Cater to Specific Computing Needs
The level and computing power of a processor in a panel PC usually contributes significantly to its overall cost. Sometimes, the latest and most expensive processors are overkill for a basic application’s requirements, and disproportionately increase the total cost of a system. Advantech realizes this problem and has designed a solution into the new PPC-179T by offering customers numerous processor options, ranging from the Intel? Celeron? E1500 2.2 GHz processor to the Intel? CoreTM 2 Duo E8400 3.00 GHz processor. With these choices, customers can easily create systems for HMI, machine control, or complex computing applications that fit specific needs and fall within budget.
Great Expandability with Dual Expansion Slots
Expandability is always a key requirement of system integrators when choosing systems. PPC-179T is designed with dual expansion slots; it offers a choice of a combination of one PCI card plus one PCIe card, or two PCI cards. These expansion cards enable PPC-179T to connect to different devices, extending the system’s capabilities. In addition, PPC-179T also supports one Mini PCIe slot, six USB 2.0 ports and four COM ports. With its rich array of I/O ports, PPC-179T makes an excellent HMI system as well as meeting computing needs for a variety of applications.
100% High Quality and Reliability for Industrial Environments
PPC-179T is robust enough to withstand harsh environments on factory floors and in other harsh industrial environments. The IP65 compliant design of the bezel provides a first layer of defense enabling it to provide non-stop operation. In addition, the touchscreen panel is built with an anti-corrosive and chemical resistant finish. PPC-179T is at home in manufacturing lines, chemical production plants, and in many other diverse factory environments.
