The eAutomation Group has extended its robust TPC product line by introducing the new TPC-66S, a 5.7” QVGA STN LCD Touch Panel Computer. This new model provides an industrial-grade & ultra slim design, with the same light form factor as previous TPC’s, but now also featuring RoHS compliance.
With Advantech’s competence in fanless system designs, the TPC-66S features a suite of innovative features. It adopts the RISC kernel, the Intel XScale PXA processor (which consumes minimum power without sacrificing performance), and it also uses a higher-quality LCD panel offering high luminance at 400 cd/m2. Furthermore, like other TPC products, the TPC-66S is designed for harsh environments, and has a NEMA4/IP65 compliant front panel. Thus, the new TPC-66S’s performance/price ratio is better than other similar products in the market.
Designed to run applications under Microsoft® Windows® CE .NET, or as a thin-client, it comes equipped with 64 MB flash memory, and a CompactFlash® slot for vibration resistant storage. TPC-66S has a complete I/O interface that features three serial ports (two full RS-232, one 4-pin RS-232/RS-485), one Ethernet port (10/100Base-T), two USB ports (one for host, and one for client).
The combination of the TPC Series with thin client software like Microsoft RDP makes it possible to save costs when implementing interfaces in the field. The TPC-66S can be used to provide decentralized interfaces to control local as well as external processes.
With the features described above, TPC-66S is mainly engineered for system control interfaces, such as those found in machine automation, intelligent transport systems (ITS), and food industries, but wherever a long-lasting, small, and reliable interface is needed, this touch panel computer is an excellent choice. TPC-66S is available for ordering now.
