Industrial Automation's Panel PC 725 is a robust and well-protected HMI
solution for use directly on the machine. Installation on a support arm system
permits a flexible mounting position and ergonomic operation, even in tight
spaces. With IP65 protection from all sides, the housing holds up well in harsh
environmental conditions, for example with dust and sprayed water.
The
integrated 15 inch touch screen display provides an intuitive human machine
interface. Equipped with an Intel Atom N270 processor, the Panel PC 725 is
predestined for all standard PC applications, such as SCADA systems. Through
the low power loss of the Atom design, the PC housing can be smooth - without
heat sink fins.
The
combination of higher processing power and lower consumption allows a fan-free
system. All components that require special cooling, such as processor and
chipset, are positioned so that the heat is distributed directly over the
housing. When using CompactFlash cards, the Panel PC 725 does not have any
rotating parts for a long lifespan.
The Panel PC
725 provides users with extensive PC resources. With two Ethernet interfaces,
two USB 2.0 interfaces and one serial interface, communication is ensured on
the machine level and in the plant network.
Panel
PCs with IP65 protection normally use expensive IP65 connectors, but the
cabling on the Panel PC 725 is handled via the flange so standard cables can be
used. The battery and CompactFlash cards are behind a separate cove for easier
service.
