It is a compact, ready-to-mount flat panel display subsystem that also includes a resistive touch screen integrated into a chassis about 2 inches thick
The open frame chassis (without a front bezel) permits flexible mounting of the system for OEMs and integrators with content-rich applications
The combination of embedded PC functionality, industrial-grade construction, small size, and wide operating temperature range makes the unit ideal for medical, kiosks, transportation, instrumentation, industrial automation, and control applications with tight system integration and minimal space requirements
WinSystems’ Panel PC consists of an outdoor-use, 6.5-inch diagonal color TFT flat panel display with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels
It has a high luminance of 500 cd/m2 (nits) and uses two long life CCFL lamps which are user-replaceable
The display has a wide viewing angle for operator flexibility and a contrast ratio of 600:1
The screen has an anti-reflective coating to preserve readability in high ambient light
A PC/104-Plus SBC serves as the computing and display engine for the PPC3-G-6.5
It is an all-in-one processor module that contains the flat panel video controller, Ethernet port, two USB 2.0 ports, 4 COM channels, LPT, AC97 audio, 48 lines of digital I/O, and CompactFlash connector
PC/104 expansion modules can be added for even more I/O such as wireless, specialty A/D and other industrial interfaces
