Panel PC series C33xx

The 19-inch Panel PC series C33xx is designed for fitting into 19-inch racks or into the front of a control cabinet. The Industrial PCs of this series are equipped with maximum performance class components according to the ATX standard and are ideally suited for machine construction and plant engineering applications, for example with the TwinCAT automation software under Windows Embedded Standard or Windows XP Professional.

The 19-inch Panel PC series C33xx, fitted with Intel® Celeron® or Intel® Core™2 Duo on a standard ATX motherboard, offers controllers of the highest performance class, with a 12- or 15-inch TFT display, optionally with alphanumeric PC keyboard or numeric keyboard, with a touch screen or a touch pad. The RAM can be expanded from 1 GB DDR3RAM up to 8 GB. More than 3 GB require a 64 bit operating system. The housing can be installed and re-fitted from the front. A CD/DVD-ROM or multi DVD drive can be fitted behind the lockable front cover. It is also possible to fit USB connection sockets for keyboard and mouse under the front cover, permitting commissioning and software updates with the aid of standard input devices. In this case the connected keyboard operates in parallel with the front keyboard. The mouse works in parallel with the touch screen or touch pad. Additionally, one or two 3½-inch hard disks can be installed. The on-board RAID 1 controller can mirror two SATA hard disks.

Card holders for the plug-in cards generate insensitivity to shocks and vibrations. The card holders can be fixed and removed without tools.

The Industrial PC corresponds to the ATX standard, and is therefore compatible with all new PC components.

The type plate provides detailed information regarding the PC's configuration. Data on the function, type and use of resources such as memory areas and interrupts is listed for the fitted plug-in cards. Data about drives indicates not just the manufacturer and type, but also provides information about type of connection and jumpers.

The construction of the housing has been designed to allow individual changes, and many features can be optimised for the application.
