Fanless System with Core Duo processor
Released 24 January 2008

New from BVM is the WPC-763, an innovative I/O-rich fanless micro computer designed for applications such as digital signage, POS terminals, kiosks, ATM, thin servers, in-vehicle displays, outdoor entertainment, gaming, multimedia system and building automation; anywhere where 24/7 operation, low noise and protection from dust are critical requirements.

Based on the Intel 945 GM and ICH7M chipset, two versions are available, either the Core Duo 2 GHz or Celeron M 1.86GHz low power processors. The systems fully support Vista in addition to Window XP and XP Embedded.  With six COM ports, a GPIO port for data collection and unit management, 2 USB 2.0 ports and a LPT port, the I/O-rich unit is ready-configured to accept  the barcode scanners, photo sensors, card readers, limit switches, printer and other peripherals required in POS and kiosk applications without having to install additional cards. 

Power input is 12 - 28VDC with robust on-board voltage conversions that isolate the unit from voltage spikes and current surges likely to be encountered in automotive applications; an anti-vibration drive bay provides protection from shock and vibration.  The watchdog timer function automatically resets in the event of a software crash to maximise system up-time in embedded public applications.
