Fanless computer suits signage applications

The WPC-763 is configured to accept the barcode scanners, photo sensors, card readers, limit switches, printer and other peripherals required in POS and kiosk applications

BVM has released the WPC-763, an I/O-rich, fanless micro computer designed for applications such as digital signage, POS terminals, kiosks, ATM, thin servers, in-vehicle displays, outdoor entertainment, gaming, multimedia system and building automation.
Based on the Intel 945 GM and ICH7M chipset, two versions are available, with either Core Duo 2GHz or Celeron M 1.86GHz low-power processors.

The systems fully support Vista as well as Window XP and XP Embedded.

With six COM ports, a GPIO port for data collection and unit management, two USB 2.0 ports and a LPT port, the I/O-rich unit is ready-configured to accept the barcode scanners, photo sensors, card readers, limit switches, printer and other peripherals required in POS and kiosk applications without having to install additional cards.

Power input is 12 - 28V DC with robust on-board voltage conversions that isolate the unit from voltage spikes and current surges likely to be encountered in automotive applications.

An anti-vibration drive bay provides protection from shock and vibration.

The watchdog timer function automatically resets in the event of a software crash to maximise system up-time in embedded public applications.
