New 1510 Industrial PC now available from Xycom Automation.
The 1510 offers a 10-slot passive backplane with eight available expansion slots including four full-length ISA, three full-length PCI, and one half-length PCI. The unit also includes a 10/100 Mbit Ethernet controller for easy integration into the factory-wide network and an AGP video controller with 4 MB video RAM. Other features include PCI IDE controller, two serial ports, parallel port, and a PS/2 port that can be used with a mouse and keyboard via the supplied "Y" cable. It also has a 235 watt power supply, 1.44 MB floppy, and a CD-ROM drive.
"There is a large group of factory Automation customers that require a separate solution with ISA and PCI expansion rather than the more traditional integrated industrial PC," said Ralph Damato, Business Unit Manager, Industrial PC Products, at Xycom Automation, Inc.
"Many of these customers have resorted to using commercial grade PCs with an industrial LCD monitor. Because these same customers require ISA expansion and the commercial market has abandoned ISA expansion capability, these customers are left with less desirable solutions. We have listened to our customers' requirements, and now Xycom will fill this void with our 1510 box PC. A box PC solution like the 1510 helps us round out our industrial PC offerings, while still supplying the quality product that Xycom Automation is known for."
The 1510 resembles a commercial tower unit in price and looks, but is designed and built for factory automation. With its metal case and included mounting brackets the unit can be secured in a horizontal or vertical orientation. The 1510 includes UL, cUL, FCC, and CE certifications. Unlike other Industrial PC solutions, all Xycom units are certified and listed as a complete unit.
