Low-cost 300 mm TFT mini-workstation

September 2002 Industrial Computer Hardware

Compared to traditional mono or STN 150-250 mm screens, Advantech's AWS-8124 features a 300 mm TFT, 800 x 600 resolution display to show enhanced data or trend information. Being only 150 mm in depth for easy space design, the AWS-8124 mini-workstation provides four slots of either pure ISA or mixed PCI/ISA expansion. It supports a quick-swap 3,5" FDD/ 3,5"HDD drive housing, and engineers can change or update the production program or data in one minute.

Competitively priced, the AWS-8124 provides the standard AC power, and DC: 12, 24, or 48 V supplies - there are also multiple touchscreen options. For customer upgrades, the cut out dimensions of the AWS-8124 are exactly the same as the AWS-8100 series.

The AWS-8124 has an aluminium front panel which meets NEMA4/IP65, and the disk drive housing holds one 3,5" FDD and one 3,5" HDD. Its cooling system consists of one 32,8 CFM fan, and the operating temperature is from 0 to 50°C.

An optional analog resistive touchscreen with a continuous resolution is available. It has a light transmission of 72%, durability of a 100-million touch lifetime, and its software driver supports DOS, Windows 3.1/95/98/NT/2000 and Linux.
