Kontron V Panel Express panel PC

The Kontron V Panel Express panel PC is now available with the Intel Core i7 dual-core processor. Compared to its predecessors, this version offers nearly double the performance and is suitable for industrial high-performance applications, with a processor speed of 2.2 GHz (2.9 GHz in turbo mode) and up to 8 GB DDR3 memory.

With its 100% passive cooling concept, the panel PC needs neither a fan nor a fan filter to be replaced and is therefore completely maintenance free. Optimal shock, vibration and temperature resistance are all standard features of the panel PC family, as is EMI protection. The V Panel Express is available in sizes from 12.1 to 19″, serving the increased demand for larger display sizes. The front panel is made of stainless steel and offers IP65 protection against dust and water spray. The resistive touch display, with LED backlight, enables reliable operation even when working with gloves and pens. Optionally, the front panel can be designed to cater to customers’ specifications, including individual branding.

For applications with less performance demands, a version is available with the 1.4 GHz Intel Celeron 827E single-core processor. Interfaces include five USB ports, a 10/100 LAN port, a 10/100/1000 LAN port, two RS232 ports and a DVI-I video port. With up to two PCI Express slots, customer-specific extensions can be integrated. In terms of storage media, either up to two SATA hard disks or especially robust Compact Flash media can be housed.
