The Panel-PC S3 is a modular, scalable industrial computer with touch display. Designed for installation in cabinet doors, all its connections are plugged on the back side, upwards, in order to ease their mounting.

The Panel-PC S3 allows to realize a redundant Sercos Master Controller without using specific interface modules or FPGAs. This becomes possible by the combination of two Intel Gigabit Ethernet controllers i210, and the Open Source Project "Sercos SoftMaster". So, you can reach cycle times of 125µs on the bus. Both Sercos interfaces can, at choice, be used as two separate Sercos lines, or as redundant ring structure, for raised availability.

The Panel-PC S3 is supplied in a stainless steel housing, with foiled aluminum front panel and resistive touch sensor. A high-quality 12" TFT display is included, its backlight is designed in long-life LED technic.

A Celeron Dual-Core processor is used, with 1.6GHz clock frequency from the Intel ‘Haswell’ family (TDP 15W). Alternative available are Intel Core-i3/i5/i7 with clock frequencies of up to 1.7GHz. All processors come from Intel’s Embedded product line, thus granting a long-time availibility of five years, or even more.

The sophisticated cooling conception allows exclusive passive cooling of all components, over a wide working temperature range from -15 to +55°C. Maintenance-demanding fans are not in use.
