Easy-to-use touch panel PC offers rich I/O options

With dual-display capability, the P1177S-881 is an integrated, easy-to-use, low-maintainence platform designed for factory automation, kiosks, and other industrial automation, IoT & M2M applications.

“Built with user-friendliness in mind, the Axiomtek P1177S-881 offers a slim mechanism design,” said Debbie Tu, Product Manager, Product Marketing Division, Axiomtek. “The entire system has a robust, slim aluminium casing with IP65/NEMA 4 compliant front bezel, which makes it suitable to operate in many extreme and space-constricting environments. The latest Intel Haswell touch panel PC offers workstation-level performance and features VGA, HDMI, WiFi connectivity and built-in speakers, making it an excellent solution for both automation and kiosk fields. Additionally, the P1177S-881’s many useful features include a smart fan to automatically adjust the fan speed in response to the fluctuation of the temperature of the CPU for increased system reliability. For enhanced integration flexibility and expandability, this all-in-one unit supports four COM ports and two USB 3.0 ports.”

If larger viewing area is desired, an additional display can be connected via the system’s VGA or HDMI port to help enhance worker’s productivity level.

The scalable P1177S-871 features built-in speakers which can be used for multimedia content displays on kiosk applications. It also supports Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n module and antenna for wireless network connectivity up to 150Mbps data rate. By plugging in the WLAN module, users can have instant access to wireless LAN/GPRS/GSM/3G.

The 17” industrial panel PCis designed with ease of maintenance in mind. There are only three screws on the back chassis, so that technicians can quickly remove the system’s back cover with minimum effort.

To withstand harsh operating environments, the application ready touch panel computer is made with a robust mechanical design and has an IP65/NEMA 4 water/dust-proof protection from spillage.

Axiomtek’s P1177S-871 includes rich interfaces such as VGA, HDMI, four COM ports (three RS-232 ports, one RS-232/422/485 port), two USB 3.0 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, two Gigabit Ethernet ports, and audio ports (line-out and mic-in). It has two DDR3 SO-DIMM sockets supporting a maximum of 16GB and one 3.5” or two 2.5” SATA HDD drive bays. Furthermore, this power-efficient panel unit can be installed using a panel mount, wall mount, VESA arm or desktop stand, depending on the application requirements.

The P1177S-881 will be available for shipping in late June.
