The EPC LX line is a compact, mechanically robust, fanless industrial
panel PC. This embedded PC system comes in two variants, either as just
a CPU box or together with a high-contrast industrial color TFT display.
It is available in the following display sizes: 6.4" 8.4", 10.4", 12" and 15".
The analog resistive touch screen is the basis of communication between
human and machine. The combination of a standardized CPU unit and
the different front units allows customers to best meet their requirements.
Another advantage is its compact installation dimensions.
By using special processors and cooling elements, tempermental fan
systems are no longer necessary.
Also, compact ash cards have replaced hard drives. This means that the
failure quota is very low despite the often harsh industrial environment.
The LAUER EPC series comes with the Windows®XP operating system
embedded, Windows® CE and VxWorks. This allows you to visualize and
control your systems reliably in a harsh environment.
