DSM Infinity Panel PC P4-A with Intel Atom and LED Backlight
DSM Computer, has extended its portfolio with an additional Infinity® P4-A panel PC, which, thanks to the IP65 front, is suitable for use in harsh environments. The modular and fan-free construction of the Infinity® P4-A permits a wide range of possible applications and so offers an expandable and cost-saving alternative to traditional panel PC systems. The Vesa assembly arm allows the P4-A stand-alone system to be integrated fast and easily, and so make it particularly suitable for building automation applications, for visualization tasks with POI/POS applications, for machine and plant control, and for logistics and transport management.
To further reduce the power consumption, the 38 cm (15 inch) Infinity® P4-A panel system uses an LED backlight. This allows the display computer with specified 250 cd/m² to consume up to 20% less power compared with traditional computers. Thanks to the CCFL backlight, the service life at low temperatures is significantly higher than for normal CCFL display solutions. The panel computer also has an energy-efficient power supply. A 115 to 230 VAC power pack is integrated in the system with a 24 VDC power supply available as an option for the user.
The Infinity® P4-A provides an internal mini-PCI express slot and maximum two PCI slots for various plug-in cards. Interfaces such as eight USB 2.0 (two of which on the front panel), two LANs and one audio are accessible from the rear of the computer. The input and control of the panel PC is made using the high-quality ELO touch function. The system already contains a 2.5 hard disk for data storage. In addition, an optional SSD (solid state drive) and a Compact Flash can be installed. The system is designed for operation in the temperature range 0° to +45° C (+50° C with fan). DSM guarantees the long-term availability of the panel system for four years. The computer is subjected to a burn-in test for at least 48 hours and is delivered with a two year guarantee.
