12.1" LCD panel PC with NS GXm/GX1 CPU. It is specially designed
for HMI applications, such as factory, machinery automation, transpor-
tation, and health care. The PPC-A84-X5X/PPC-A120-X5X is designed
with advanced breakthrough concepts. It is a modularized PC within
aluminum die-cast housing. When installed in an open space, no fan is
required. These powerful features assist system integration, allowing
more flexibility in applications.
Die-cast housing
The completely sealed housing protects the system in tough, harsh
environments. The die-cast housing also acts as a heat sink, to
prevent the system from overheating. The front panel is compliant with
IP65 standard.
No ventilation hole
With a heat pipe for ventilation, the system’s MTBF has been extend-
ed. With no ventilation holes, the enclosure is completely sealed,
thereby protecting the system from dust
Modularized accessories
The power supply, HDD drive and PCMCIA module are easily remov-
able for maintenance or exchange. The modularized design allows
easier and quicker replacement of accessories.
