1.8 Brief Description of ARCHMI-9XXB Series
There are 12.1” ~ 32” Industrial Compact Size Panel PC in ARCHMI-9XXB series, which comes with flat
front panel touch screen and fanless design. It is powered by Intel 8th Generation Core i3/i5(option) CPU
Processors with one SO-DIMM DDR4 slot, up to 32GB 2400 MHz. These systems support DC 9~36V wide-
ranging power input and IP66 compliant front panel. Optional projected capacitive touch support 7H anti-
scratch surface is ideal for use as PC-based controller for Industrial Automation & Factory Automation.
Furthermore, ARCHMI-9xxB Series are capable of expanding the function by option expansion I/O boards,
TB-528 series, includes Mini-PCIe, CAN bus, POE, USB, and isolation I/O module to improve competitive
advantage through providing critical flexibility and expansibility for the variety of application and
requirement.
