Hot on the heels of the recently launched ACS 263n range of box PC’s, three further box PC’s designed for 0°C to 50°C operation have been released this month by industrial computing specialist DSL.
The base model, called ACS-2653, is a low power, fanless ruggedised computing platform packaged in a heavy duty steel chassis with aluminium heat sink flutes and brackets for wall/bulkhead mounting.
Processing is more than adequately provided through an Intel Socket P Core 2 Duo Processor with up to 2.0GHz processing speed and up to 800 MHz FSB. This is supported by the Intel GM965 ICH8M-E system chipset and
up to 4 GB DDR2 memory.
Dual GbE LAN ports satisfy even the most demanding of high speed networking applications whilst the
six USB 2.0 Ports (two front side) are ideally suited for a range of add on peripherals.
Three DB9 connectors provide the usual RS232 communication paths with an optional 4th port providing RS232/422/485, whilst VGA is delivered through an industry standard DB15 connector.
Mic, Line out and PS2 keyboard & mouse interfaces are provided as standard and a software programmable watchdog timer provides up to 256 levels of system reset.
Storage options comprise either or 2.5" SATA HDD bay and/or Compact Flash permitting either a desktop O/S (i.e. XP Pro), a truly embedded O/S such as XP Embedded (free pre-installation included) or indeed any other desired x86 operating system.
With an input voltage range of between 11-32VDC installation alongside other electronic apparatus is simplicity itself.
The ACS-2654 has all the features of the ACS-2653 but provides a single PCI slot for application specific expansion. The
ACS-2655 again offers the same functionality but provides two
PCI expansion slots.
Weighing just 4.5KG with overall dimensions of 240mm x 230mm x 80mm (104mm for ACS-2654) these highly adaptable fanless box PC systems, meeting CE/FCC Class A, provide an ideal platform for numerous fit & forget markets including POS Systems, airport terminal controllers and digital entertainment systems.
Prices for the system start at sub £670 for 1 off quantities.
