Industrial PCs bring Swiss quality to tight budget
Elma Electronic has launched a modular family of ATX and P4 industrial PCs, offering superior Swiss build quality for projects on tight budgets.

The new 1u unit offers excellent EMC characteristics, and includes mains switches front and rear, integrated fan speed control and space for either a 3.5 inch or 2.5 inch disk.
For larger applications, an optional drive bay is available to accept 2 x 2.5 inch disk drives.
The subsystem is IEEE 1101.10/1101.11 compliant, and includes a universal input (90v - 264v AC) 200W ATX power supply with built-in active power factor correction, providing +3.3v, +5v, +12v, -5v and -12v outputs.
For maximum reliability, the 1u/84HP subsystem is fitted with three 75,000 hour rated fans, and includes intelligent fan control and fan failure monitoring as standard.
With a 100,000 hour rated PSU, the enclosure is specified to operate from 0-55C and at up to 90% relative humidity.
