Introduction

The Mitsubishi Electric Automation MC200 Series Panel Computer features a
700 Mhz Intel Pentium/Celeron processor single board computer, in various
sizes to fit your application needs. An active matrix LCD, resistive-type
touchscreen is mounted in a rugged steel enclosure, with Zinc plating for
optimum noise immunity, along with a flat NEMA4/4X sealing bezel to form an
aesthetically pleasing package.

An MC200 Series Panel Computer can run visual, maintenance, information,
and control software with the power to direct machine processes, collect critical
data, and communicate with the front offices for high level production interaction.

The MC200 Series Panel Computer is a full featured computer able to withstand
harsh environments. Its rugged design, high performance and easy access for
upgrade or maintenance make the MC200 ideal for applications requiring the
highest reliability, as with all Mitsubishi electronic components.

Operating systems are included as part of every package. Optional operating
systems, and application software can be installed upon request, providing an
“Out of the Box” solution for your custom application. The computers are CE,
UL/CUL & FCC Class I compliant, and are rated to operate from 0 to 50ºC, at
a non-condensing humidity of 10–95%.

The MC200 Series Panel Computer is currently available in 3 sizes — 10.4­inch, 12.1-inch, and 15-inch — and is designed to be protected from oil, dust
or water damage.

This manual will take you through the steps necessary to get your Flat Panel
Computers installed and running in the shortest possible time. This manual
covers Models MC220, MC240, and MC250.
