Rugged touch panel PC suits outdoor applications

Designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, the GOT812LR-832 operates over a temperature range from -20 to +55°C. This HMI is powered by the low-power Intel Atom processor N2600 1.6 GHz and Intel NM10 Express chipset: a combination delivering great performance per watt which is suitable for applications including marine, food factories, steel mills, gas pumps, outdoor information kiosks and point of sale terminals. The GOT812LR-832 is equipped with a 12.1" XGA TFT LCD display with high brightness LED backlight of 1000nits. Its low reflective touch screen makes it suitable for use under direct sunlight. For wireless network connectivity, the panel PC also offers a PCI Express Mini Card slot and a built-in WLAN antenna. Users can have instant access to wireless LAN/GPRS/GSM/3G/4G/LTE simply by plugging in the WLAN Mini Card.

Axiomtek's latest panel PC features an IP66-rated, water/dust-proof stainless steel enclosure. Its six IP66-rated connectors and corrosion-resistant stainless steel (type 316) front bezel are designed to protect the unit from all natural outdoor damaging conditions. The GOT812LR-832 supports one DDR3 SO-DIMM slot with up to 2GB memory and features one 2.5" SSD, one CompactFlash socket and one PCI Express Mini Card slot. Additionally, this advanced touch panel system offers a variety of M12 type I/O connections including one RS-232/422/485, one RS-232, one Gigabit Ethernet, two USB 2.0 ports and a DC-in power connector.

The industrial-grade touch panel system is also designed and tested according to IEC60945 and DNV 2.4 standards. Capable of being VESA mounted or suspension mounted, the GOT812LR-832 supports popular operating systems, including Windows7 Embedded Standard and Windows 7. The GOT812LR-832 touch panel PC is 2.3" thick and weighs only 4.5kg, enabling easy installation and space-saving.

Ivy Lee, Product Manager, Product Marketing Division, Axiomtek, commented: “Axiomtek introduced GOT812LR-832 to address the needs for a compact touch panel PC that offers comprehensive features, useful functionality, high performance, reliability and durability that will meet most outdoor operations requirements. This rugged human machine interface was deliberately designed with features such as IP66 enclosure to protect against harsh environments where dust, dirt, moisture, water, oil, or chemicals can contaminate or damage a system. Among many impressive built-in features of this touch panel PC, the panel system offers excellent vibration resistance of up to 2Grms (with SSD). It is ideal for outdoor applications or automation environments.”
