1.1 Introduction
Advantech's PPC-A84 is a new generation 8.4" LCD panel PC with
NS GXm CPU. It is specially designed for HMI applications, such as
factory, machinery automation, transportation, and health care. The
PPC-A84 is designed with advanced breakthrough concepts. It is a
modularized PC within aluminum die-cast housing. When installed in
an open space, no fan is required. These powerful features assist
system integration, allowing more flexibility in applications.
Die-cast housing
The completely sealed housing protects the system in tough, harsh
environments. The die-cast housing also acts as a heat sink, to prevent
the system from overheating. The front panel is compliant with IP65
standard.
No ventilation hole
With a heat pipe for ventilation, the system’s MTBF has been extend-
ed. With no ventilation holes, the enclosure is completely sealed,
thereby protecting the system from dust
Modularized accessories
The power supply, HDD drive and PCMCIA module are easily
removable for maintenance or exchange. The modularized design
allows easier and quicker replacement of accessories.
