Advantech Launches New Touch Panel Computer

Advantechs Industrial Automation Group introduces the IP65 certified 15 TPC-1582H touch panel computer. The first of its type to feature the much heralded iDoor Technology, a faster low power processor and a multitude of IO ports.

Advantechs new iDoor technology is a modular way of adding versatile functionality to give system integrators the flexibility to choose the functions that they need without purchasing devices that have excess costs and functions that theyll never use. With Isolated DI/O ports, Power over Ethernet, Profibus, and CANOpen modules, the iDoor Technology provides a cost efficient solution to increasing the functionality of the TPC-1582H.

The TPC-1582H is the first in the family to use Intels 4th Generation Core i3 processor, which provides an additional 15% increase in speed compared to 3rd Generation processors while maintaining low power consumption and enhanced reliability. Advantechs TPC range is renowned for its multitude of IO ports and expandability and the TPC-1582H is no exception since it has two USB 3.0 ports for high speed camera, a PCIe slot for adding functions, a HDMI port for an additional display, and the iDoor Technology slot uses a mini PCIe connector. And, if not being used for the iDoor modules, it can be used for adding additional cards such as Wi-Fi, 3G and GPS.

As well as the Intel Core i3 1.7 GHz processor, the TPC-1582H also includes 4GB DDR3L SDRAM and can be used with a variety of Microsoft Windows operating systems, Linux, and Advantech software applications such as WebAccess, Panel Express and SUSIAccess.
