Advantech’s Industrial Automation Group has announced that the multifunction PPC-6120 now comes with the ability to allow users to install the processor of their choice.

Users can choose any fourth-generation processor, from the low-end Celeron to the powerful i7 Intel 4th Generation Core i CPU, to meet their needs. Fourth-generation i processors are said to be 13% faster than their predecessors and have a 24% increase in graphics performance.

The compact device, with a 12.1″ 5-wire resistive touch screen, is suitable for connecting directly to devices through an integrated isolated RS422/485 port, which protects the port in the event of power spikes. If a larger screen is required, users can simply attach two extra displays using the VGA and Display Port ports which can be used simultaneously with the product.

As well as the isolated RS422/485 port, the device also comes with a wide voltage input range of 12-30 V so that in factories with unstable power it will continue to work. Other features include: IP65 front bezel, so the device can be cleaned with jets of water; four RS232 and four USB 3.0 ports for added connectivity; and dual Gigabit Ethernet ports. For expandability, a PCIex4 or PCI card can also be added.
