BVM - New 17-inch fanless panel PC for PoS / PoI and general control applications

The latest addition to the range of low cost fanless panel PCs, from BVM, is the PT-170PF, a 17-inch touch screen unit, a larger version of the popular PT family of 12-inch and 15-inch units.

Designed for point of sale, point of information and general control applications, the stainless steel front bezel presents an attractive appearance and seals the unit to IP54. The integrated design with the PC housed behind the screen assembly reduces the number of interconnections required by many multi-box solutions, providing a tidy and reliable assembly.

POWERed by an ultra low voltage Celeron CPU with up to 1GB of RAM ensures adequate performance for the majority of applications whilst minimising power consumption; the fanless design ensures silent operation, improved reliability and reduced maintenance requirements. The slim design, less than 100mm in depth and VESA mounting enables easy installation in confined spaces.

Other features include a 1280 x 1024 LCD with 5-wire resistive touch screen; an external VGA port enables an additional monitor to be driven. Dual Ethernet ports, four USB and three serial ports ensure connectivity for peripherals and printers. Supplied as standard with a 40GB HDD there are a number of Operating System choices: Windows XP, XPEmbedded or WEPOS, says the company.
