Dear Frederick,

  Panel PCs for Harsh Environments

       Panel PCs must withstand harsh and extreme industrial environments while providing reliable, speed and performance to reduce downtime and increase productivity. The Maple Systems Gold Series combines leading-edge technology in a rugged package for these demands.
Maple Gold Models

       To ensure optimum performance in the extreme environments expected in industry, the Gold Series has undergone extensive laboratory testing, and has been CE, cULus, RoHS and NEMA-R certified. The 110BF, 115BF and 117BF are all fanless models that won't pull in dust and meets NEMA-4 and IP-65 standards. Touchscreens feature durable high impact screens. The exterior enclosures includes a 10mm thick aluminum front bezel and a corrosion resistant rugged steel housing. The industrial-grade mainboard is highly stable and reliable for 10-20 years of operation. The components can withstand a temperature range of 0-40°C or 32-104°F.

       Maple Panel PCs are available from Industry Depot or through your Industry Depot sales representative.

        You will find that the product information below is concisely displayed with links to the details you need.

State-of-the-art technology is Used Throughout.
       The versatile and durable touchscreen features fine resolution and precision touch response. The ultra-slim flat panel display saves space and includes easily accessible ports. The fanless CPU option features an Intel Celeron M ULV 1.0 GHz processor provides quiet operation.

       All Maple PanelPCs include a Microsoft Windows XP Pro operating system and are fully loaded right out of the box with a one-year warranty.

        A wide range of expansion options, CPU, memory and hard drive upgrades are also available to support multiple controllers and devices, full network support as well as data entry and monitoring from a remote location. Every model supports two to four serial ports.
Communication Options
        With Human Machine Interface software such as Maple Systems' WebStudio, applications can support multiple unique PLCs using assigned communication drivers. A VGA port supports a second monitor that can display the same data that is on the Panel PC screen or a unique image for an attract or alarm mode. Extra USB ports are ideal for kiosk applications which often require scanning devices, money handling and ticket printing functions. Adding the Ethernet port expands application possibilities to remote locations like the plant floor, the control room and machine controls.
