Optimum machine control and operation. Two PC104+ slots for additional interface cards make the device a real all-rounder
The 1.1 GHz Atom processor ensures low energy consumption. There are 512 MB RAM available as well as an inserted SD card with 2 GB for applications. The resistive touch screen and the membrane keyboard allow data to be visualized and software components to be operated. The Panel-PC 8000 is therefore ideally suited as HMI for machine control.
Interfaces
The terminal provides two CAN interfaces for connection to fieldbus networks, which are implemented via an M12 socket and an M12 plug. External peripherals such as mouse, keyboard or memory sticks can be easily connected via two USB 2.0 interfaces. The third M12 connector is used as Ethernet port. With a bandwidth of 100 Mbit/s, it can be used for connecting to the network or for direct data transfer.
Flexibility through PCI slots
Two expansion slots allow the integration of further interfaces. As with the IPC-4, various variants are available for this purpose: CAN, FireWire, digital and analog inputs and outputs, Profibus. In addition, many other functions can be integrated according to customer specifications. The Panel-PC 8000 can be used as a standard HMI or upgraded to a specific control solution.
Robust design
HMIs in production plants can sometimes be exposed to temperature fluctuations, spray water and mechanical influences. Therefore, when designing the Panel-PC, great importance was attached to a robust construction. The connectors prevent water from penetrating into the interior of the housing by sealing it to the inside.
