Expandable panel PCs designed to shorten custom system lead times

Available now from Review Display Systems (RDS) the new AAEON OMNI line of expandable panel PCs is designed to shorten the lead time in customising a Panel PC. Now there is no need to strip down the system device to its component parts and reassemble it to the required specifications, says the company. A simple expansion connector on the main CPU box makes this all possible. Dubbed the `OMNI- slot’, each module is connected to the CPU box through this slot. This `plug and play’ approach not only makes customisation and expansion much easier, it enables the device to be NRE free and therefore saving costs. A total of eight modules are currently available: a USB/ COM/ LAN combo module, a dual LAN module, a MiniCard and SIM card module, an RS-232/422/485 module, an isolated RS-232/422/485 module, a digital I/O module, a CAN Bus module, and an audio module. The panel itself is a 15.6-inch unit with a 16:9 P-CAP touchscreen and a full aluminium chassis that offers wider operating temperature and superior cooling.
