The ReadyPanel industrial panel PC enables customers and OEMs to rapidly deploy industrial automation, human-machine interface and operator control panels.
New from Ampro Computers, the ReadyPanel industrial panel PC enables customers and OEMs to rapidly deploy industrial automation, human-machine interface (HMI) and operator control panels.
The new ReadyPanel is designed as a panel PC solution that includes a standard EPIC form factor Pentium compatible SBC, a 6.5in colour flat panel display and touch screen integrated into a compact enclosure.
ReadyPanel offers scalability to meet specific demands with the capability to integrate a variety of EPIC compatible single board computers (SBCs).
The ReadyPanel is the first in a series of panel solutions from Ampro designed around EPIC SBCs allowing easy access to the latest technology in processors and chipsets.
"Ampro's new ReadyPanel is a complete solution with LCD that operates stand-alone or integrates easily into larger systems", said Joanne Mumola Williams, President and CEO of Ampro.
"Ampro brings its strong reputation for quality, local support, configuration control, lifecycle, and industry standards to provide a superior overall panel PC offering.
Ampro has already secured ReadyPanel design wins in markets where Ampro's strengths are valued, including medical, industrial, and office automation".
Ampro's ReadyPanel 6.5 panel computer is an application-ready Windows CE 5.0 appliance for HMI environments.
ReadyPanel offers a selection of Ampro ReadyBoard SBCs with Intel processors from 400MHz Celeron to Core Duo, bringing scalability, high computing performance with low power consumption and all electronics in a compact panel computer.
Featuring a 6.5in colour TFT display with integrated four-wire resistive touch screen the ReadyPanel 6.5 is an ideal combination of PC and industrial-grade construction for industrial automation and control applications.
ReadyPanel includes a robust set of I/O and can be configured with memory sizes up to 1Gbyte DRAM and CompactFlash options up to 2Gbyte.
ReadyPanel includes Windows CE 5.0 on CompactFlash with other operating systems available later in Q2 2006.
The ReadyPanel all-in-one solution provides PC-style connectors for easy access to USB ports, Ethernet port (RJ45), dual serial ports (DB9), CRT video (when required), PS/2 keyboard and mouse port, and audio.
External access to the CompactFlash slot is through a convenient EMI-protected cover.
Additional I/O ports can be included for rapid customisation.
The operating environment for the ReadyPanel all-in-one solution is 0-45C and it is DC-powered, using 5 and 12V DC inputs.
ReadyPanel 6.5 with 400MHz Celeron is available now complete with Windows CE 5.0 installed, 64Mbyte CompactFlash and 128Mbyte system memory and priced at under $1200 in moderate volumes.
