Pentium MMX touch panel computer

October 2002 Industrial Computer Hardware

Advantech's TPC-650 is a Pentium MMX touch-panel computer with a 6,4" VGA TFT/5,7" QVGA STN display. Designed for industrial automation, the integration of a fan-less kernel touchscreen and non-volatile storage makes this machine a reliable solution for industrial or critical environments. The Intel Pentium 266 MMX CPU and 32 MB DRAM provide a powerful kernel for industrial applications.

The 16-bit PC/104 expansion slot provides the facility of adding on functions. The most common PC/104 cards for a variety of applications can fit in the TPC-650. High-speed Ethernet, as well as RS232/422/485 serial ports build seamless communication ability for users. Together with the optional Windows CE from Advantech, the TPC-650 creates opportunities for automation through the Internet. The TPC-650 has an IP 65 compliant front bezel and its watchdog timer is programmable for 1 to 62 s.
