HMI controllers

Interworld has released the AHM-61x6 series of human machine interface controllers.

Suitable for graphical machine control using touch screens, the dedicated panel PCs are designed around Intel Core 2 Duo processors and provide support for desktop and embedded operating systems.

The series combines an embedded single board computer with a TFT LCD screen housed in a compact chassis that can be panel or VESA mounted. Three models with different LCD screen sizes are available.

The AHM-6106 includes a 10.4-in SVGA 800 x 600 pixel colour LCD, the AHM-6126 includes a 12.1-in SVGA 800 x 600 pixel colour LCD while the AHM-6156 features a 15-in XGA 1024 x 768 resolution screen.

All models feature Intel T5500 1.66 GHz Core 2 Duo passively cooled processors. An internal 2.5-in HDD or an externally accessible compact flash socket provide operating system and/or data storage. I/O connections include 2 x COM ports, 1 x ethernet port, 2 x USB 2.0 ports, audio line out and PS/2 keyboard and mouse.

The front panels are sealed to NEMA/IP65 specifications and when mounted in a panel are resistant to dust and water.

An optional sealed resistive touch screen can be installed for point-of-sale or kiosk applications.
