Advantech offers a range of industrial panel PCs under the LNC series, designed for use in demanding environments where durability, high performance, and reliability are critical. These industrial-grade devices are commonly used in automation, manufacturing, and industrial control systems for human-machine interface (HMI), machine control, and data monitoring applications. Key Features of Advantech LNC Industrial Panel PCs: Robust Design for Harsh Environments: IP Rating: Many of Advantech’s LNC industrial panel PCs are designed with high IP (Ingress Protection) ratings, making them resistant to dust, water, and other harsh environmental conditions. Wide Temperature Range: These devices often feature wide temperature tolerance, enabling them to operate in environments with extreme temperatures, from -20°C to +60°C, depending on the model. Shock and Vibration Resistance: Built to withstand mechanical shock and vibrations, making them ideal for use in industrial machinery or environments with heavy equipment. High-Performance Hardware: Processor Options: LNC panel PCs typically come with high-performance processors, ranging from Intel Core i3/i5/i7 to Intel Celeron, depending on the specific needs of the application. This ensures they can handle demanding industrial applications. Memory and Storage: Configurable with up to 16GB RAM (or more) and SSD or HDD storage options, ensuring fast processing speeds and reliable long-term data storage. Graphics and Display: Integrated graphics capabilities support clear and sharp visual output on high-resolution touchscreens (often 15.6" to 21.5"), with high brightness options for outdoor visibility. Versatile Connectivity: I/O Ports: LNC panel PCs offer a variety of input/output (I/O) ports including USB, COM, LAN, HDMI, and more, allowing for easy integration with a wide range of industrial equipment, sensors, and networks. Wireless Connectivity: Some models include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities for wireless communication, making it easier to connect to other devices or systems in the industrial network. Multiple Display Options: Supports external displays or multiple screen setups for more complex data monitoring and control tasks. Touchscreen Interface: Projective Capacitive Touch (PCAP): Many LNC panel PCs feature a responsive capacitive touchscreen that offers multi-touch capability, ideal for interactive operations, such as controlling machines or visualizing real-time data. Rugged Touch: Designed to be durable, the touchscreens are built to withstand continuous use, even in environments with heavy gloves or where dirt and moisture may be present. Fanless Operation: No Moving Parts: Many Advantech LNC industrial panel PCs are fanless, meaning they operate without moving parts, reducing the risk of failure due to dust or mechanical wear. This is ideal for dusty or high-dust environments. Silent Operation: The absence of a fan also makes these devices quieter, which is essential for noise-sensitive applications. Operating System Support: Windows OS: Advantech LNC panel PCs typically support Windows operating systems, such as Windows 10 IoT or Windows Embedded, allowing for compatibility with existing industrial software. Linux Support: In some cases, Linux is supported for specific applications or where open-source environments are preferred. Mounting and Space Efficiency: Flexible Mounting Options: These panel PCs can be wall-mounted, rack-mounted, or mounted on a stand, depending on the needs of the facility. Compact Form Factor: The industrial panel PCs have a compact, slim form factor, making them suitable for confined spaces in control panels, machinery, or operator stations. Industrial Applications: Manufacturing Automation: These devices are perfect for human-machine interface (HMI) applications, controlling and monitoring machines and production lines. Machine Control: They can be used for controlling CNC machines, industrial robots, and other automated machinery, offering a central interface for operators. SCADA Systems: Advantech LNC industrial panel PCs can be integrated into SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems for real-time data monitoring and control in industries like energy, water, and manufacturing. Logistics and Transportation: Used for monitoring and managing logistics systems, warehouse automation, and transportation networks. Security Features: Industrial-Grade Security: Designed with robust cybersecurity features to ensure that data is protected from unauthorized access and cyber threats, making them suitable for use in industries with high security standards. System Management: Advantech’s industrial panel PCs typically offer advanced system management tools to monitor the health of the device and prevent downtime.
