High performance fanless Panel PC family with Intel CPU
Released 31 March 2008

BVM is offering some new additions to its AFOLUX Family of touch screen panel PCs. The existing range has sizes from 7 to 19" using the AMD Geode or Via Eden CPUs. The latest additions, 15-19" units, support the Intel Celeron M 1.0GHz or Pentium M 2.0GHz processors with up to 2GB of DDR2 memory and a wide range of I/O formats. The family provides performance and features that make them suitable for a wide range of higher end applications with demanding processing speed and graphics capabilities, including kiosks, telecommunications, graphics intensive medical applications, gaming applications and others.  

The fanless one-piece panel PCs have two integrated speakers and audio lineout, a Bluetooth interface for short range peripheral connections, optional GPRS capability for remote management, 802.11 wireless interface, dual 100 Gigabit LAN ports, RS232 and RS422/485 serial interconnect, 4 x USB 2.0 ports and a SATA port to interface with an internally mounted 2.5" drive or for external bulk storage devices.  They support dual screen displays, have a watchdog timer for automatic reboot and have an intelligent system management module to monitor internal temperatures, fan speeds, WDT status and digital I/O set-up.  Windows XP Embedded or CE 5.0 are optionally pre-installed on a CompactFlash memory card.

For reliable use in industrial environments or public applications such as kiosks, the front panel is sealed to IP64; the units conform to the VESA mounting standard and various mounting options are available for panel mount, wall mount or desk stand. They are powered from a single 12V external universal 90-264VAC 50/60Hz PSU.
