sunlight readable-Designing and testing robust industrial computing solutions

Amplicon has gaiIP66ned an unrivalled experience over the past 33 years in the design， manufacture and distribution of computer products， systems and solutions for industrial applications。 They have the ability to tailor systems to meet application and environmental requirements across a wide range of industries。 Their equipment would typically be destined for use in factories， transport， warehousing， laboratories and military COTS。 Like all Amplicon products， their industrial computing systems are manufactured under strict quality managementAll in one computer procedures certified to ISO9001:2000。

The first step in designing an industrial computing system is to be aware what product standards and directives have to be met。 Industrial computing products would typically be covered by areas related to safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)。 If the product is to be put onto the European Market， it will need to be CE Marked todigital signage indicate that it has complied with all associated directives。

In designing a computing system， there are a numberFanless pc of main building components that influence the look， feel， performance， reliability， repeatability and robustness of the end product。 These include the storage drives (HDD， Solid State， CompactFlash， CD drives and FDD)， Memory， Central Processing Unit (CPU)， processor cooler， Power Supply Unit (PSU) or redundant PSU， Motherboard or Single Board Computer (SBC) andpanel PC Backplane combination， total chassis cooling mechanism and finally the Chassis。

A standard 4U chassis is highly scaleable and its versatility lends itself to many end applications and environments。 Hence， in buildingIndustrial pc a computing system， the industry and application in question have to be taken into consideration。 Different applications may also require different IP ratings and certifications。

For the most extreme conditions and out-of-the-office applications， rugged mobile computer systems provide the ultimate in notebook and tablet computing。 Rugged mobile computers feature protection against dust， debris and water by using the latest materials and sealing techniques。 The rugged mobile computers offered are largely based on Intel´s 855GME chipset。 This highly efficient chipset and associate component subsets， including processor and memory offer the performance to allow efficient fully sealed fanless rugged computers toVideo wall be producedsunlight readable。 Furthermore， flexibletouch screen monitor design techniques allow their rugged mobile computers to support plug-in PCI or ISA expansion cards。 In this design， mobile application processors and associate fanless coolers are used； and for space conservation， a 2。5" HDD is used。 This greatly improves the device shock and vibration tolerance。

For automotive applications， the computing system will be exposed to a lot of vibration and dust； hence it needs to be more robust in itsIndustrial monitor total design。 Any computing device made for use in the automotive industry needs e mark certification。 The recommended design would be an embedded， fanless solution。 Using a fully enclosed device， where the chassis acts as a cooling mechanism for the device

For medical， pharmaceutical and food applications the high tech modular industrial PC design is recommended。 This can be easily configured to meet customer needs by including a touch screen and expansion slots for plug-in boards to further expand the system and provide additional features。 The system can be operated using a touchscreen or via a rugged IP54/65 rated keyboard。 The completely sealed stainless steel housing makes the system meetBox PC the IP specified protection norms and requirements for these industries。
