1. Introduction
The MPC-2240 series of panel computers features advanced Intel processors—3rd generation Ivy Bridge Core
or Celeron—matched with 4 GB of system memory, delivering a reliable, high-performance platform of wide
versatility for use in industrial marine environments. With its RS-232/422/485 serial, NMEA 0183, and Gigabit
Ethernet LAN ports, the MPC-2240 panel computer supports a wide variety of serial- and marine-specific
interfaces alongside high speed IT communications, all with native network redundancy.
The MPC-2240 series comes with a range of standard display enhancements useful in industrial environments
(including 0 to 100% full range dimming, 178°/178° wide viewing angles, optional optical bonding, and/or a
multi-touch touch screen), as well as Moxa’s innovative SavvyTouch display controls.
The MPC-2240 series of panel computers are compliant with key industrial marine standards, such as IEC
60945-4, IEC 61174, IEC 61162, DNV2.4, and IACS E10, verifying their resilient durability in marine operations.
An optional IP65-rated unibody shell provides strong additional protection against the harsh conditions found
in marine environments. The MPC-2240 delivers a rugged, type-approved, high performance and user friendly
panel computer perfect for ECDIS navigation systems and other marine IBS applications.
