1. Introduction
About the Product
This product is a fanless PANEL-PC for embedded use based on Intel (R) Atom processor N270 and a
945GSE (GMA950 incorporated) chipset. Adoption of the long life power saving LED and Intel (R)
Atom processor offers low power consumption while ensuring sufficient performance.
The “resource-saving PC” contributes downsizing and power-saving of equipment to reduce your
running cost and to promote energy efficiency.
It has extended interfaces such as 1000BASE-T, USB2.0, and serial. It adopts CF card for the storage and
is fanless, which demonstrate the totally spindleless design that simplifies the maintenance.
Embedded-type CPU and chip set have been adopted. The use of readily available parts ensures the ease
of the use of the product. In addition, the use of CONTEC-customized BIOS allows support to be
provided at the BIOS level.
According to your application, two types (the panel mount type and the open frame type) are available.
This product is available in the following 1 model:
- WES-installed model and panel mount type equipped with Intel Atom Processor N270 1.60GHz
PT-955LXC-DC5311 (12.1 inch, LCD (XGA), Memory 1GB,
Windows Embedded Standard 2009 (Japanese version), CF 2GB)
Features
- Contributing to reduction of running cost and promotion of energy efficiency
Power consumption is about 30% less compared to the conventional standard model
(IPC-PT700HX-AC426). Due to adoption of the low power consumption LED backlight and Intel (R)
Atom processor N270, low power consumption, approximately 41W*1 even at a high load condition, is
achieved at the same time sufficient performance is ensured, contributing to the lesser running cost.
*1 Median value of power consumption of a standard model PT-955LXC-DC5311 with input power of
24VDC under unloaded and fully-loaded conditions.
- High definition supported DVI external display output
This product has the up to 1920 x 1080 pixels DVI external display output as standard feature. A
stand-alone two-displays application which, for example, displays the screen on a big LCD TV separately
from the main LCD, can be built. Also, with the accompanying analog RGB (15 pin HD-SUB)
conversion adapter, connecting to an analog RGB display is supported.
- Remote power management function to reduce operation tasks
This product supports timed/automated system start-up (Resume By Alarm). For example, it enables
unattended operation, such as starting to show information of an establishment in unison at opening time.
Also, it supports system start-up externally via network (Wake On LAN) and modem (Power On by Ring).
It encourages significant labor saving in operation.
- Major types of peripherals are supported with rich interfaces including the two CF card slots
It has a variety of extended interface such as 1000BASE-T x 2, USB2.0 x 4, serial (RS-232C) x 2.
It has 2 CF card slots that can use for OS and data. They are very useful because you can use one slot for
system start-up and the other for maintenance, system log, or taking away the collected data.

1. Introduction

- Falling-off prevention tools and cable clamps provided to avoid trouble caused by disconnected cable
This product stays trouble-free, being equipped with USB removal prevention fitting and cable clamp for
connectors with no locking mechanism, such as USB cable, and with hardware to properly mount and
avoid falling out of CF card.
- Safety design required for embedded applications
Retention of CMOS data by EEPROM allows the system to start up even when the battery has run out.
For Windows Embedded Standard installed model, it is possible to use the EWF*2 function of OS. It is
designed for safety required for embedding purpose, for example, prohibiting unwanted writing to the CF
card with EWF function will relieve the concern about the writing limits to the CF card and prevent an
unintentional system alteration.
*2 EWF (Enhanced Write Filter) is a function specific to Windows Embedded Standard that protects the disk from being actually written
by redirecting the writing to RAM.
- A wide range of power supplies (10.8 - 31.2VDC) supported
As the product supports a wide range of power (10.8 - 31.2VDC), it can be used in a variety of power
environments. The separately available AC adapter adds support for 100VAC power. *3
*3 When using the AC adapter, limits are placed on the expansion board power supply capacity and the external device power supply
capacity.
- Touch panel enables keyboard-less operation.
These products have analog touch panel enabling mouse emulation using driver software.
Supported OS
-Windows Embedded Standard 2009 (PT-955LXC-DC5311)
