Phoenix Contact has expanded its range of VMT 3000 panel PCs to include a device with a 265 mm high-resolution display with IP65 protection. This display was specifically developed for use under harsh industrial conditions and has a resolution of 1024x768 pixels.
These panel PCs are distinguished by die cast aluminium enclosure IP65 rated to offer weather resistance and insensitive to humidity and moisture. Further, these devices can be used in extreme temperatures ranging from -20 to 55°C, allowing them to be employed outdoors and in refrigeration systems. They can be optionally equipped with a display that allows use in direct sunlight.
The panels are energy efficient thanks to the Intel-Atom platform, a combination of highly integrated chipset and power-saving processor. The processor can be clocked at either 1,1 or 1,6 GHz and has a thermal design power of 2,5 W. The device does not require a fan and can be used for years as an energy-efficient operating console for outdoor or machine related use.
