1.1 Introduction

The IPPC-9120/9150 series industrial panel PC is specially designed to fit in space-limited environments where expansion is restricted. Its solid structure enables the system to operate under harsh industrial conditions.

Sturdy structure

The whole system is protected by a firm solid structure. The front panel is made of sturdy aluminum and has strengthened glass. It is shock resistant, and complies with NEMA4/IP65. The stainless steel case (SUS304) on the rear side is rugged and corrosion resistant, and enables the system to operate reliably in even the harshest of environments.

Easy maintenance

A back door with lock is located right above the motherboard. Thus users can easily maintain the CPU, HDD, SDRAM, FDD and CD-ROM drive. Jumpers can be easily set without removing a single screw. The lock protects the system from intruders.

Economical system

The PCM-9571B motherboard has Socket 370 architecture. It supports Pentium® III up to 850 MHz and Celeron™ up to 700MHz. Socket 370 is an economical yet powerful system. Its reliability enables the system to operate faultlessly in industrial environments.

Friendly HMI

The IPPC-9120/9150 Series is equipped with a 12.1"/15" LCD, which provides high resolution display quality (IPPC-9120: 800 x 600; IPPC-9150: 1024 x 768). The result is vivid, bright, and sharp quality images. The IPPC9120/9150 Series is perfectly suited for "Windows" OSs. The touschscreen version enables simple operation, making the IPPC-9120/9150 Series the premier industrial digital controller interface.
