The ePC Fanless Series of Industrial Computers, available without the use of rotating media and fans, are the latest variations of the vendor’s ePC-Series industrial computers.
The fanless models are designed to address the growing demand for
industrial computers that have the reliability of a proprietary operator
interface, while still providing the performance and open connectivity
available from a computer. Four sizes are offered—15-, 17-, 19- and a
newly released 12.1-in. All are available with 5-wire analog resistive
touchscreens and NEMA sealed panel mount front panels. Their ultra-thin
size and very thin panel mounted depth of less than 3.2 in. (81.3mm)
suit them well for installation in harsh environments, especially Class I
Division 2 hazardous locations. This series uses an Intel Atom N270,
1.6GHz processor to provide enough processing power to run the most
complex HMI and SCADA applications. In the past, says the vendor,
fanless industrial computers have not provided this level of performance
and features.Nematron Corp.www.nematron.com734.214.2000
