Embedded computers with integrated display

More and more companies use a PC platform in their products designed for industry automotion, transportation, POS, medical equipments, measurement systems, advertisement  and other markets. Such products are often used as human-machine-interface, need more and more performance and usually a color display with touch screen also. In the past was necessary to design such products themself.  More and more comes common to use standard available complex solutions what bring many advantages – customer don’t need to invest money and také risc with development of own product. One of established suppliers for such products is company Avalue from Taiwan providing few lines of products.

FPC Series with 8.9“ – 10“display

The smallest family members FPC-08W / 10W comes from its unique heat dissipation design without a fan and super slim bezel design reduces the waste of space for mounting. Adopted AMD LX800 and Intel® Atom™ CPU, its green technology makes entire system save power to only 12W.

Avalue’s FPC-08W and FPC-10W delivers the excellent multimedia applications in small size screen. 8.9” and 10” WSVGA TFT widescreen up to 1024x600 resolution, equipped with 5-wire resistive touch panel to present clear, safe and high accuracy of touch effects. Due to a CF card utilized in place of an internal hard drive used to occupy greater part of system space, its super slim design from bezel and system makes entire size merely 22.5 x 13.9 x 3.9 cm (FPC 08W). Besides, FPC series supports dual Ethernet and optional WiFi wireless module, 2 sets of COM ports, 2 to 4 sets of USB 2.0 ports, 1 set of VGA and mic-in / line-out. Mounting concept is compatible with VESA standard. The FPC line is MS Windows operating system based platform.

The sober, matt-black iron casing of FPC-08W is suitable for long-term usage and easy to clean. Its front panel sealing is compliant with IP-65 water / dust-proof standard; onboard 512M memory and touch controller bring vibration resistance to increase the stability of product usage. Industrial operation temperature from -10 to +60 degree centigrade, and supporting wide power input 10~28Vdc to meet the requirements of unstable electricity environments like vehicle and navigation. Avalue technology provides supports of long-term materials supply for FPC series to prolong product life time.

Other members of this family are comming with display in standard 4:3 or wide screen format and wide range of low power or performance microcontrollers Intel.

LPC Series with 8-12“ display

The fundamental feature of the LPC series is its excellent mechanic design. It is low-profile slim PC with the all aluminum brushed casing not only boasting fine quality and a rigid appearance, but also facilitating heat dissipative effectiveness.

The LPC-1201/1001/0801 is geared for Human-Machine Interface (HMI) and POS/POI applications, which are widely used in computer systems, electronic devices, automation controllers, and vehicle or industrial installations. Without a fan, Avalue’s unique heat sink housing means it is capable of running 24/7, stably and silently. This system can be operated in tough environments as well by implementing VIA Eden V4 500MHz/1.0GHz or ULV 1.6 GHz CPU, as its operating temperature tolerance ranges widely between -10 to 60°C. Furthermore, the front panel meets the IP-65 standard, which prevents possible damage from the intrusion of water or dust. Also, the 12.1” , 10.1” or 8,0” resistive touch panel option with 800x600 resolution truly meets the discerning customer’s needs. And since the LPC serie is Windows XP, XP Embedded, WinCE 5, 6 and Linux platforms compatible, it is an exceptionally ideal off-the-shelf touch panel PC for users to enjoy.

PPC series with 15-22“ display

Avalue’s PPC Series bring features with slim front bezel and compact chassis which means the slimmest panel PC in market, levels of system and screen size, and technical references of programming and API setting of front panel programmable function buttons. Its high performance, low power and fanless structures facilitate the extension of application and reduction of cost, expandable devices, such as WiFi, magnetic stripe reader (MSR), RFID, SATA, CF, and speakers, providing panel systems for variant of purposes.
