September 2008 Industrial Computer Hardware

Touch panel computers with CAN interface.

Advantech’s TPC-662G (X86) and TPC-68T (RISC) with built-in CAN bus solutions are designed for industrial applications. Controller area network (CAN) is the serial data communication solution which improves network reliability and transmission efficiency. Advantech's open HMI computers are ideal choices for an integrated CAN bus and compact touch panel computer solution.

With its 160 mm TFT LCD, slim and compact design, fan-less cooling system, and onboard AMD LX800 processor, the TPC-662G provides a CAN solution with an RS-232 interface and an additional PC-104 extension slot. The high quality LCD has 640 x 480 resolution, and the unit is supported by the Windows CE Net 5.0 operating system.

The TPC-68T is a 140 mm TFT LCD powered by the onboard Intel PXA270 processor. With a high quality 320 x 236 resolution the product is designed to support thin-client, low power applications. TPC-68T is supported by Windows CE Net 5.0 with Windows XP available as an option.
