Chapter 1 - Introduction
The ePC Series products are high performance color TFT embedded ultra-thin industrial
computers specifically designed for harsh industrial environments including Class I & II, Division 2
Hazardous Locations.
The ePC Series offers four versions with 12.1” SVGA (800 x 600), 15” XGA (1024 x 768), 17”
SXGA (1280 x 1024), or 19” SXGA (1280 x 1024) TFT Color LCD panels. A stand alone “node” version
without an integrated display is also available (nPC100). These high-performance embedded industrial
PCs offer processor options up to a state of the art Intel Core Duo Processor and DRAM options up to 2
GB. A fanless version is also available. With a multitude of I/O included on the standard unit many
automation applications are ideally suited for use with this series. The Ultra-Thin panel depth (2.7” to
3.42”) also makes this series ideal for space constrained applications. With Class I and II Division 2
approvals this industrial PC makes installation in Hazardous Locations applications simple.
