Industrial Panel PC with 15 in. LCD

Overview

The National Instruments PPC-2015 is an industrial panel PC with built-in

touch screen. The NI PPC-2105 combines a 2 GHz Pentium 4 proccessor

with a rugged 15 in. touch screen to create a human-machine interface

(HMI) system for NI PACs. When configured with National Instruments

LabVIEW software, it provides a complete HMI solution. It also can

become a versatile measurement and automation workstation when

configured with NI hardware such as industrial PCI-based DAQ boards or

external USB-based DAQ modules. With National Instruments hardware

and software platforms, you can address a wide range of measurement and

automation applications.

Rugged Industrial Design

The PPC-2015 features a stainless steel chassis with an aluminum front

panel. An integrated NEMA4/IP65-compliant touch screen display

eliminates the cabling associated with external monitors, and its flat-panel

technology conserves limited rack and panel space on the plant floor.

The PPC-2015 touch screen display features tempered, antireflective

glass that is also coated to minimize scratching. NEMA4/IP65 compliance

ensures that the unit can meet applications with hose-down requirements.

Unlike commercial PCs, the PPC-2015 features extended shock, vibration,

and temperature ratings plus global safety standards and agency

certifications. To address special application requirements, a rack-mount

kit is available.

Flexible Open Platform

Unlike dedicated visualization platforms such as message displays and

graphics terminals, the PPC-2015 features an open, extensible PC-based

architecture fully compatible with National Instruments and commercial

third-party hardware and software components. Featuring Windows XP,

an internal PCI bus, and a choice of communication buses (serial, parallel,

USB, PCMCIA, and Ethernet), it can be configured to address requirements

beyond traditional HMI applications. When configured with the NI LabVIEW

graphical programming environment and data acquisition, vision, motion,

or PAC hardware, the PPC-2015 provides a complete, ready-to-run solution.

Programmable Automation Controller (PAC)

The PPC-2015 is a PAC platform based on an open-architecture

commercial platform. By using industry standards (for example PCI, USB,

and Ethernet), LabVIEW software, and NI hardware and software

components, the PPC-2015 system provides:

• A single environment for HMI and programming

• A complete solution – I/O, motion, vision, and software

• Time and cost-saving single sourcing

• Guaranteed compatibility between system hardware

and software components

• Tight integration of system components for optimal performance

• Easy integration of third-party hardware components

• Device-level and enterprise-level connectivity
