Fanless industrial PC for embedded applications
Arcom has introduced a next generation board based on the AMD Geode GX CPU clocked at 400MHz but with performance equivalent to a similar class of CPU running at 533MHz.
The APC-Celeron is a 19" rack-mount PC supplied with your choice of memory and operating system.
At the heart of the APC is a high performance plug-in PCMIG CPU board with a minimum 466MHz Intel Celeron processor socket 370 design.
The system comes pre-loaded with a variety of operating systems, including: DOS, WindowsNT, Windows2000 and Linux redhat 6.2.
A unique feature of the APC-Celeron is the EMC, shock and vibration testing done to industry standards.
Whether operating in a semiconductor clean room, or collecting data in a travelling locomotive, the APC has been tested to meet your requirements.
Examples of EMC markings include: CE marked to Residential, Commercial, and Light Industrial Standards, meets emissions EN50081-1 and immunity EN50082-2, and conforms to EMC directive 89/336/EEC.
Vibrations markings include British Rail Category 1, and IEC 68-2-6.
Arcom systems also provide a clean, filtered AC-DC power supply, free of any powerline-conducted immunity or emissions problems.
The rack features a high degree of ruggedization, including adjustable board clamps, seamwelded chassis, and shockproof mounts for the vibration hazzards encountered in factory and plant environments.
The APC-Celeron includes a 48-speed CD-ROM drive, 3.5" floppy disk drive, at least a 6.4GB hard disk drive and a 250W power supply.
Other features include interfaces for VGA monitor, keyboard, mouse, parallel port and two serial ports.
System expansion is provided with a full-length 14-slot backplane, configured as 10-slot ISAbus and 4-slot PCIbus.
Arcom also offers a complete line of ISA and PCIbus add-on boards to provide the user with a wide choice of high-integrity I/O expansion functions.
These cards include analogue and digital I/O, quad serial, counter-timer, and relay cards.
