Fanless 1 GHz touch panel computer

September 2006 Industrial Computer Hardware

Advantech has extended its robust TPC series with the TPC-1260H, a rugged 12,1" (307 mm) SVGA TFT LCD panel computer. The new model has a fanless cooling system, and with a 1 GHz CPU, it provides a high-performance HMI workstation for critical automation applications.

TPC-1260H has a high-quality TFT LCD display, and uses the Transmeta Crusoe 5800 processor as its core. The Crusoe 5800 is a low power consuming x86 compliant processor with 1 GHz operating frequency, thus this system can be fanless, even though the kernel is powerful. In addition, spindle-free storage makes the TPC-1260H a durable and reliable platform. For applications where spindle-free storage is not critical, a fast-access HDD module can be used.

The new system also provides a diverse I/O selection, and has expansion capability to meet a wide range of requirements. Two PCMCIA slots and two PC/104-Plus slots are provided for expansion capability. The TPC-1260H has four serial ports, one parallel port, one Ethernet port (10/100Base-T), two USB ports, one PS/2 port and one VGA port for a complete system interface.

Like other TPC thin client products from Advantech, TPC-1260H supports Microsoft Windows XP, 2000, CE NET, and XP Embedded.

Advantech is represented locally by ProMicro.
