Janz Automation Systems of Germany has announced two Linux-compatible panel PCs, targeting HMI (human-machine interface) applications. The 6.5-inch emVIEW-6/A400 and 8.4-inch emVIEW-8/A400 feature Intel IXP42x processors, fanless operation, dual 10/100 Ethernet connectors, plus RS232 and CAN (controller area network) ports, the company says.
Designed to form part of an overall factory automation system, the emVIEW-6/A400 and emVIEW-8/A400 are identical apart from their screen sizes. The emVIEW-6/A400 includes a 6.5-inch touchscreen with 640 x 480 resolution and a 300:1 contrast ratio, while the emVIEW-8/A400 has an 8.4-inch display with 800 x 600 resolution and a 250:1 contrast ratio. As the picture at right illustrates, the devices come in at the low end of an emVIEW product line, whose available screen sizes range up to 19 inches.
Other features of the emVIEW panels include a Type II/III CompactFlash socket, watchdog timer, and battery-backed clock. As a photo of the emVIEW's side shows (see right), the devices have dual 10/100 Ethernet ports, and dual USB 2.0 ports. According to Janz, their other interfaces can be either dual RS232 ports, dual CAN ports, or one of each, depending on the precise model specified.
