2 PPC-150 User's Manual
1.1 Introduction
The PPC-150 panel PC is a multimedia Pentium®MMX processor-based
computer that is designed to serve as a human machine interface (HMI)
and as a desktop computer. It is a PC-based system with 15" color TFT
LCD display, on-board PCI Ethernet controller, multi-COM port interfac-
es and a 16-bit audio controller. With built-in CD-ROM drive, floppy
drive and PCMCIA expansion sockets, the PPC-150 is as compact and
user-friendly as a notebook computer. Unlike notebook computers, the
PPC-150 is more durable and versatile in all applications. The panel PC
can be placed on a desktop to replace the traditional desktop computer. In
addition, its "fit anywhere" design makes it very flexible and able to be
used in many different kinds of installations. It can be wall mounted, panel
mounted or stood upright on a desktop.
For system integrators, this simple, complete, compact and highly
integrated multimedia system lets you easily build a panel PC into your
applications. Common industrial applications include factory automation
systems, precision machinery, and production process control. It is also
suitable for many nonindustrial applications, including interactive kiosk
systems, entertainment management, and car park automation. Our panel
PC is a reliable, cost-effective solution to your application's processing
requirements.
