Chapter 1 General Information

1.1 Introduction

The PPC-L106T is a 10.4" LCD Panel PC with an AMD LX800 CPU that
is designed to serve as a human machine interface (HMI). It is a PC-based
system with 10.4" color TFT LCD display, on-board PCI Ethernet, multi­COM port interfaces, and a 16-bit audio controller. This simple, com­plete, compact and highly integrated multimedia system lets you easily
build a panel PC into your applications. By incorporating the PPC-L106T
into your project, your product development time will be shortened.

The PPC-L106T is a compact, network-compatible PC with extensive
features to control a dedicated system in a wide variety of applications.
Common industrial applications include factory automation systems, pre­cision machinery, and production process control. It is also suitable for
many nonindustrial applications, including terminal information systems,
entertainment management systems, and car park automation systems.
Our panel PC is a reliable, cost-effective solution to your application's
processing requirements.
