With the new Compact IPC C12, noax Technologies presents a completely new generation of industrial PC. The new C12 stands out particularly through its sleek design and the multitude of options for user-specific configuration. Customization of the IPC already begins with its core processor. Customers can choose from a number of variants: noax offers the device with either an Intel Celeron processor or an Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 2 x 1.86 GHz. noax also offers a variety of displays to suit the respective application scenario: The 12”-touch-PC is supplied either with an SVGA or with an XGA display. To encompass the broadest-possible spectrum of applications, noax industrial PCs feature numerous interfaces as standard. Should the standard number of interfaces still be insufficient in specific cases, the device can be expanded by means of two PCI or PCIe slots – an option unmatched among the C12’s size category. The intelligent noax design even allows this expansion after several years of use.
To offer the user ideal system ergonomics, the new noax IPCs feature up to five freely customizable function keys. At the mere touch of a button, users can for example switch between the various applications or show or hide the touch-screen keyboard. A USB port integrated at the front simplifies work especially for IT administrators. Besides the ergonomic design, noax industrial PCs provide the capacity for remote maintenance, simplifying the administrators’ tasks yet further. The current operating status of all industrial PCs can be viewed via a software console. The IPCs can also be configured such that a report on the current operational readiness of the respective devices is sent automatically by e-mail. This allows network administrators to detect possible problems in good time and to react preemptively.
The noax IPCs come with a multitude of features to expand the scope of mobile application: The new C12 thus supports the Wi-Fi standards 802.11a/b/g/n within the 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz wavebands. The antennas used for Wi-Fi transmission are invisibly integrated into the front of the frame. This provides effective protection of the antennas from damage or snapping. Alternatively, external antennas can be connected through a protected cable duct to allow for installation beyond the devise, for example on the roof of a vehicle. Where industrial PCs are intended for use in areas without a Wi-Fi infrastructure, noax industrial PCs feature the capacity for data transmission via mobile radio networks such as GPRS, UMTS, and HSPA. Data can thus be reliably transmitted to recipients outside of enclosed spaces. noax also offers the option to integrate Bluetooth, for example for data transmission to wireless bar code scanners or keyboards. DIN-compliant T-track rails as well as compliance with the VESA standards 75 and 100 allow for simple installation.
