Well suited for harsh industrial environments, Phoenix Contact has launched the new VL BPC 1000 industrial PC product line of embedded box PCs.
These devices are suited for simple control and communication tasks and for data collection in mechanical engineering, systems engineering, building automation, traffic engineering, and energy data transmission applications.
The IPCs are designed to meet high temperature, vibration, shock and EMC requirements and therefore ensure maintenance-free 24/7 operation.
The compact box PC operates in a temperature range from 0°C to 50°C, with an input voltage of 24V DC (+/-20%). Designed for embedded operating systems such as Windows Embedded Standard 2009 and Windows Embedded Standard 7, the box PC also utilises reliable standards that facilitate easy commissioning.
Due to its thermal design power (TDP) of 6.5W, the PC is especially energy efficient. Its 155 x 145 x 49mm design also allows it to be directly snapped onto DIN-rails, thus facilitating combination with other components to create a customer oriented system solution.
The IPC operates without a fan and uses the Intel Atom N455 processor (1.6GHz) from the Intel Embedded Roadmap (Intel components with long term availability). It also features an integrated graphics processor and a variety of interfaces, including four USB 2.0, VGA, and three COM (RS232 / 422 / 485) ports to permit a range of applications. Two Gigabit Ethernet ports and a CompactFlash slot are also available.
