The industrial electronics manufacturer Syslogic is making the trip to Embedded World and is bringing along its innovations in the areas of industrial computers and touch panel systems. Recent innovations also include the IPC product lines such as the ML Series, which is universally applicable due to its wide range of freely combinable interfaces, and which thanks to the exclusive use of industrial-grade components is well suited for operation in harsh environments.
With its brand-new PCT (Projected Capacitive Touch) Series, Syslogic is expanding its range of operating and visualization solutions. PCT technology combines the intuitive operation of conventional resistive touch screens with the high demands that industry places on robustness and durability. The PCT Series stands out due to its wear-free, scratchproof touch screen that features a flat front face without any edges that could collect dirt. This makes these projected capacitive touch panels from Syslogic quite interesting for the food-processing industry, and not least because the standard aluminum housing is optionally available in stainless steel and thus meets the highest standards for hygiene. The attractively designed touch panels have diagonal screen sizes from 10 to 17 inches along with provisions for integration into systems or outboard mounting using a Vesa bracket. Besides serial ports, they feature a wide range of other interconnect possibilities including USB, Ethernet, CAN and field bus interfaces. The PCT series is based on a modular platform. Accordingly, expanded functionality such as function keys or additional operating elements can be implemented.
Besides the PCT line, Syslogic continues to offer proven resistive touch and infrared technologies. As part of its Touch Panel Series, the company will be presenting an open frame version of its projective capacitive touch PCs. They feature all the functionality of the standard version and meet Protection Class IP68, thus making them especially well suited for outdoor applications. Thanks to a sophisticated mechanical design, these units can be installed from the rear to be flush with the front of a system and thus provide protection against vandalism. Not only can the touch panels handle the toughest jobs, its industrial computers also operate reliably in harsh environments. This becomes especially clear with the RPC (Rugged PC) Compact 71 Series, which is setting benchmarks in terms of performance and stability. The most obvious feature of this new development is a hardened, anodized aluminum housing that makes the computer virtually indestructible. The housing is resistant to dust, water and chemicals and thus qualifies for Protection Class IP67. The heart of the RPC is a new, scalable Queens Bay platform from Intel whose performance steps up from 600 MHz to 1.0, 1.3 and even 1.6 GHz. Common to all four versions of the processor is low power consumption coupled with high compute performance. In addition, all RPC Compact 71 computers feature a realtime clock powered by a maintenance-free Gold Cap capacitor and withstand even high levels of shock and vibration.
In addition, Syslogic is showing its existing IPC product portfolio at Embedded World. This ranges from a simple node computer in the Compact MS Series to the Compact ML product family, which like the Rugged Series features the newest Intel Atom processors.
