Computer Dynamics
There are two typical ways that Industrial PCs are configured. The first is an all-in-one PC that has an integrated computer and display. The second approach is to use a separate industrial PC and display with cables running between the two systems. Each approach has its merits and drawbacks. The Panel PC solution is typically less expensive and just needs one power input. The benefit of separating the two pieces is that the display half, if broken, can be replaced cost effectively.
Selecting a Panel PC
In the previous article (see here), we discussed the various Panel PC options that Computer Dynamics provides. Computer Dynamics offers so many options so that we can select the right design for your intended end use. From relatively benign, low vibration applications to wash down, high temperature, and excessive shock and vibration, Computer Dynamics has an offering to meet your price and application needs.
Flat Panel Computers – Industrial PCs
Computer Dynamics provides industrial flat panel display choices ranging from 8.4" through 21", integrated with a touchscreen for operator input.
