We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "PC104",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Torque system measures up to 10kNm from
RDP Electronics, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Lebow TMS 9000 torque measurement system has a resolution of 100,000 counts, 3kHz frequency response and an accuracy of better than 0.05% full-scale, with standard capacities up to
10,000Nm".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Flat panel PCs speed lifeboat response from
GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms UK: "GE Fanuc Embedded Systems Survivor-Wildcat industrial flat panel PCs have helped an And Group Crusafe system reduce lifeboat muster times by around 70%".
In August 2004, we covered the news from Delta Tau UK
concerning its Advantage 400
- take a look at Advantage gained from machine control in a box
which says: "A novel CNC/general-purpose controller enables simple and inexpensive operation of all sorts of machines from metal cutting tools to lasers, flatbed cutters and Cartesian robots".
Take a look also at the news release from Intec Automation, HMI software supports more embedded hardware,
as well as Panel PC takes control of interfaces from Dexdyne,
and CANbus interfaces for embedded applications from Computer Solutions.
