The Panel PC 700 combines an industrial PC and a display in one device, and is ideal where installation is required in small spaces.

The Panel PC 700 combines an industrial PC and a display in one device, and is ideal where installation is required in small spaces Boasting a modular structure and well thought-out placement of interfaces and drives, the panel PC provides optimal adaptability and ergonomics

All connections are placed on the top of the housing so that the installation depth is not increased by protruding connectors.

In addition to the existing variations with 10.4in VGA TFT and 15in XGA TFT displays, the Panel PC is now available with a 12.1in TFT SVGA display.

All devices have an analogue resistive touch screen.

The rest of the components are modular and can be expanded.

For example, a second CompactFlash slot or a hard disk can be added to the integrated CompactFlash slot.

This allows the developer to find the most suitable mass memory combination for his application.

The Panel PC 700 with an Intel Pentium M processor and Intel 855 GME chipset is available for high-performance applications that require a powerful processor.

This processor generation, developed for mobile computing, provides the performance of a Pentium 4 system with lower power consumption.

These processors cover a wide range, from 400MHz to 1.8GHz.

This allows the panel PC to be optimally adapted to any application.

The combination of higher processing power and lower consumption allows the system to be fan-free.

This is a considerable advantage in industrial applications as it means the elimination of maintenance such as regularly changing out fans.

All components that require special cooling are placed on the board so that the heat is distributed directly to the large heatsink on the back of the device.

B and R considers the importance of long-term availability when choosing which components to use.

After all, the product life span is ultimately ten years or more.

Furthermore, the use of B and R industrial PCs in tough production environments places special demands on reliability and longevity.

Along with its very robust mechanical construction, the elimination of cable connections for PC components and stable fitting of circuit boards contribute to a high level of quality and availability.
