Panel PCs provide high-end graphics
BVM Afolux panel PCs support dual-screen displays, have a watchdog timer for automatic reboot and have an intelligent system management module to monitor internal temperatures and fan speeds.
Panel PC requires little power
The OPC-363-84 is powered from 12V DC with power consumption of 10W and no forced cooling required.
Fully Hot-Swap compliant to Rev3.0, the cPC1000 is fitted with either a Four Slot backplane and a choice of floppy, hard disc or CD ROM drives; alternatively it is available with any width of backplane up to a full Eight Slots if mass storage is not required.
For telecoms applications, a H110 complaint backplane can be specified, giving the P3 undefined I/O area, the P4 TDM bus and the P5 telephony I/O areas in addition to the standard CompactPCI P1 and P2 areas.
Power is provided by a 300W PC ATX 110/220VAC auto-sensing power supply.
System cooling is achieved by a 120mm axial fan mounted below the subrack drawing air in from the lower front and sides with the exhaust through the top; the PSU has its own dedicated fan at the rear of the unit.
The lightweight aluminium housing is strong and rigid and gives good EMC screening with all internal surfaces bonded together.
Front and rear panels are sealed to EMC with bonding fingers and EMC gaskets.
The subrack is recessed to protect the front and rear injector/extractor handle mechanisms.
Provision is made to install rear I/O modules in accordance with IEEE1101.11 ensuring compatibility with a wide variety of system requirements.
BVM is also able to provide the cPC1000 as a ready to run computer configured with a selection of modules from its range of hot swap CompactPCI and PMC modules.
