1.4 Brief Description of ARMPAC-6XX(AL)
ARMPAC-6XX(AL) are 15”, 15.6”, and 21.5”with fanless designed ARM based
HMI, which comes with flat front panel LED backlight touch designed. It is powered
by Freescele i.MX6 DualLite/Quad (option) ARM Cortex A9 processor, 1GB DDR3
onboard memory, and 4GB eMMC NAND flash onboard. There are powered by DC
9~36V for 15”, and 15.6”but DC 12~36V for 21.5”wide range power input. These
models supports IP66 compliant front panel. This model can be VESA 100 x 100
mounted. The chassis color is RAL9007 for aluminum. Optional projected capacitive
touch screen supports 7H anti-scratch surface is ideal for use as PC-based controller
for industrial automation & factory automation.
