Chapter 1 Introduction

1.1 Introduction

We designed the AWS-8248 specifically for the factory floor and other harsh industrial environments. This 19" rack/panel-mount workstation offers full state-of-the-art industrial computing technology packaged within one compact unit. It includes a 14.1" color LCD monitor, 7-slot passive backplane, slide-out "work drawer" card cage, 250-watt power supply, 3½" floppy disk drive (slim CD-ROM and 3½" HDD optional), front and rear 5-pin keyboard connectors and a sealed front panel that conforms to NEMA 4 and NEMA 12 specifications. All of these features are housed in a rugged workstation chassis which provides protection from dust, vibration and moisture.

14.1" Color LCD

•Vertical and flat screen for better display quality

•High resolution display (1024 x 768)

•Anti-static treatment on the glass surface to minimize dust accumula- tion on the monitor

•Digital screen adjustment for accurate picture quality

39-key sealed-membrane operating keypad

You can enter numerical data using the workstation's convenient 39-key sealed-membrane operating keypad. The keypad has excellent tactile response. You can also attach an external keyboard through a connector on the front panel.

Programmable macro function keys

An additional membrane keypad offers 10 ordinary function keys (F1 ~ F10) and 10 programmable macro keys (SF1 ~ SF10). Macro keys auto- mate common key sequences, even inside application programs.

Front-accessible control panel

You can easily access the workstation's controls from the front of the unit via a sturdy protective door. Controls include LEDs, and switches for power and system reset. The front panel also holds a 3½" 1.44 MB FDD.

The aluminum door protects the controls from the environment outside. The door has a waterproof foam-rubber seal and captive handscrew to hold it closed. In addition, the door offers protection against accidental operation of the unit's controls.
