Moxa's dependable Panel PC (see above image) which can withstands the gas and oil industry environment is powered by third generation dual core Intel® i7 processors, EXPC-1519 operates over -40 to +70°C range and has features and certifications necessary for Class 1, Div. 2; ATEX Zone 2; and IECEx rated dangerous environments. Fanless, solid-state system supports up to 16 GB memory and provides flexible I/O plan to simplify field installations. Along with glove-friendly touch interface, features include glare-free, 1,000 nits, 19 in. LED screen and IP66 (NEMA 4X) enclosure.
"For oil and gas operations, it can be very difficult and expensive to recognize the benefits of modern computing and communications technology, with overheating, dead pixels, and poor system performance being common complaints," explained Thomas Nuth, Moxa's Global Vertical Manager for Oil and Gas. "Our latest panel PC, the EXPC-1519, provides the very latest PC-based technology to hazardous area applications with no compromise in power, reliability, space or feature set."
The EXPC-1519 is held in a sealed IP66, NEMA 4X enclosure designed for efficient heat dissipation, as well as to extend service life by preventing entry of damaging dust, water, chemicals or hostile weather. This all-in-one solution is in stark difference to traditional protection options for panel PCs such as after-market re-engineering, or enclosing the unit in a third-party housing or cabinet that leads to additional space and power requirements, as well as points of failure.
