The Panel-PC 2 is a modular and scalable industrial computer with display front panel. It is designed for installation in enclosure doors. Therefore, all connections are made on the rear side from the bottom. Depending on the variant, the system offers a slot for a PCI, or PCI Express expansion card, for a DVD drive, and for a hard drive.

The format of the base board is standardized, so that the Panel-PC can be composed fast and easy, following the customers’ demands. Actually, three processors from the Intel "Atom" family are available: N455 (low Power) with 1.6GHz clock frequency, D425 with 1.8GHz clock frequency and D525 (dual Core) with 1.8GHz clock frequencies. These processors originate from Intels’ Embedded product line, which grants long-term availability of five years, or more.

Thanks to the modular construction of the Panel-PC, its front side can freely be designed, following the customers’ request. At choice are, for example, front panels from stainless steel, powder-coated steel, or aluminum front panels with membrane keyboard and touchpad. Client-specific designs are possible, also for smaller quantities. High-quality TFT displays are installed with sizes from 10.4" to 15". The backlight is realized using long-life LED technique. For maritime applications, it can strongly be dimmed.

For user-friendly input, the Panel-PC can be equipped with a touch sensor (resistive, capacitive, or infrared). The protection class of the front side is always IP65, for all variants.

Supply voltage is fed to the Panel-PC either via a 24V DC input, or via a 90-264V AC wide range input. The concept of the Panel-PC is completed by its optional equipment with WLAN, Bluetooth, and modem.
