Compact HMI Sports RISC Processor and NEMA4/IP65 Rating

The SeaPAC R9-7R combines a powerful RISC-based computer, bright, 7" widescreen LCD display, and resistive touchscreen to create a flat panel system perfect for a wide variety of HMI and control applications. Featuring an industrial, LED backlight that gives the LCD extended life over CCFT-backlit models, the system offers an amazing -30° to +70°C operating temperature range with no heaters or cooling fans required.

Powered by a 400 MHz ARM9 microprocessor, the system includes 128MB RAM and 256MB Flash memory for maximum performance in embedded systems. Standard I/O includes Ethernet, high-retention USB and dual RS-485 serial ports. For intuitive operator input, the system includes a resistive touchscreen perfect for a wide variety of industrial environments and uses. The system is powered from your 5VDC source via the COM A port or 2-pin Molex connector. Sealevel power supply options are available as accessories.

The SeaPAC R9-7R is intended for panel mount applications and provides an aluminum front bezel that maintains NEMA 4/IP65 protection from sprayed liquids. The system is tested and certified to ETL electrical safety standards (conforms to EN/UL 61010-1 & CSA C22.2 No 61010-1) and meets the requirements of all applicable European Commission directives required for CE marking.

Local or remote I/O expansion is available using Sealevel SeaI/O modules. Choose from a variety of I/O configurations including optically isolated inputs, Reed and Form C relay outputs, TTL interfaces, A/D, and D/A. The SeaPAC R9-7R connects to SeaI/O modules via the RS-485 expansion ports and communicates using Modbus RTU.

To provide the fastest time to market, the Windows CE 6.0 BSP binary and low-level drivers for system I/O are included. Additionally, the SeaPAC R9 software package is equipped with the Sealevel Talos I/O framework, which offers a high-level object-oriented .NET Compact Framework (CF) device interface. This interface provides an I/O point abstraction layer with built-in support for easily interfacing the system’s I/O. Linux support is also available.
