1 General Information

This chapter gives background information on the PPC-L128T panel PC.

Sections include:

 Introduction  General Specifications  LCD Specifications  Dimensions

1.1 Introduction

The PPC-L128T panel PC is an Intel low-power Intel® AtomTM N270 processor computer that is designed to serve as a human machine interface (HMI) and as a multimedia computer. It is a PC-based system with 12.1" color TFT LCD display, on-board PCIe Ethernet controller, multi-COM port interfaces and an audio controller. With a built in internal IDE connector (for CF card), One SATA connector for HDD and one for ODD,and an PCI/PCIe expansion socket, the PPC-L128T is as compact and user friendly as a multifunction computer. In addition, its “fit anywhere” design makes it very flexible and able to be used in many different kinds of installations. It can be wall mounted, panel mounted or stood upright on a desktop.

For system integrators, this simple, complete, compact and highly integrated multimedia system lets you easily build a panel PC into your applications. Common industrial applications include factory automation systems, precision machinery, and production process control. It is also suitable for many nonindustrial applications, including interactive kiosk systems, entertainment management, and car park automation. Our panel PC is a reliable, cost-effective solution to your application's processing requirements.
