emVIEW HMI systems from Janz

emVIEW systems from Janz are now also available with a POWERLINK PCI interface and can thus be used as Managing Nodes for POWERLINK networks. The systems are based on an emPC-A400 embedded PC and emPC-M systems. A sophisticated mechanical design allows for the easy combination of a display (with or without touchscreen) and emPC, thus allowing users to operate emPCs as stand-alone units or with a display.

12.1″ and 15″ displays are already available and much in demand. The new, Xscale-based emVIEW-6T with a 6.5″ display is the latest addition to the em-VIEW range. Combined with the Xscale-based emPC-A400, the new 6.5″ dis-play requires little maintenance and operates with little power loss (approx. 10 W). This allows for the price-efficient implementation of a wide range of applica-tions, such as thin client solutions in plant engineering or control solutions in house automation.

Janz has announced a further member of the emVIEW line: the emVIEW-8, which will feature an 8.4″ display, will be introduced in the third quarter of 2008. All units come with one or two CAN interfaces, which makes it easy to connect existing networks. Further standard interfaces include, amongst others, two 100/1000 MBit/s Ethernet ports, USB and VGA. The units are delivered with a CompactFlash card – however, a 2.5″ hard drive can also be installed. Users can choose between the operating systems Windows XP/XPe, Windows CE, Linux and RTAI.
