4EPEC MOBILE PC

Epec Mobile PC is designed for use in harsh conditions where vibration, wide

temperature changes and moisture are encountered every day. The key features of the

system are operability and safety. Its durable, protected structure contains a powerful

processor and many important features and possibilities to implement a working

control system.

Special, complex machines and actuators call for modern technology in order to work

safely, environmentally friendly and effectively in demanding conditions. More power is

constantly required by machines. An easy-to-use vehicle information system combined

with an embedded machine control system improves the operation of the machine and

the safety of the user and the environment. With good control and information

systems, machine developers and manufacturers can build machines that make work

easy. Epec Mobile PC is a powerful system for use in machines and vehicles. High-

quality environmental tolerance, two separate CAN connections, easy installation and

other outstanding features make Epec Mobile PC an ideal alternative for use in

machines or vehicles operated in demanding environmental conditions.

CAN connections allow a seamless connection between the PC and embedded machine

control systems. The system has normal PC connections so it is possible to use

general-purpose peripherals, such as a mouse, keyboard and printer, which can easily

be connected to the system. Groundbreaking structural solutions, technical support

and quality of the overall system ensure the operability of the unit with regard to

water, dust and environmental conditions.

An automatic, integrated heating system and effective cooling system ensure that Epec

Mobile PC can be used over a broad temperature range. An extremely robust

aluminium structure and integrated vibration attenuation technology, combined with a

strong structure, help increase the durability of the device. Modularity helps

installation, and the installation technology available as an option ensures secure

connections and the easy release of the device.

The Epec Mobile PC's display unit can be installed in a location that matches ergonomic

requirements.

Today machines and vehicles carry an increasing number of electronic actuators. It is

important that the driver can use the hardware easily. Epec Mobile PC is just the right

solution to address the properties required by the operating environment.

4.1 Accessories

Video signal inputs are available for Epec Mobile PC as an option, ensuring easy-to-

install camera connections. Another option is integrated GPS and GPRS systems, which

allow the use of positioning services and wireless data transmission. A GPRS/GSM SIM

card can easily be inserted in the back of the device. External antennas can be chosen

according to the customer. There is also a Compact Flash card slot for data back-up

copying, and the card can easily be used in other devices, too. The card slot is situated

at the back of the device. Accessories include a touch screen, keyboard, mouse,

external DVD drive and the mounting plate presented in the installation section.
