Polaris touch-panel PCs feature LED technology
Bartec
Panel PCs
Bartec is offering a range of panel PCs from Polaris that are suitable for use in the chemical, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industry.
Available in sizes 5.7in, 10.4in and 12.1in, these devices have been designed for the handling of simple machines such as mixers, dryers or filling stations, as well as for the control and supervision of complex machines such as reactors, centrifuges or ball mills.
All Polaris devices have been certified for use in zone 1 and 2, and in zone 21 and 22.
The high-resolution displays feature LED background illumination and a touch screen that is said to guarantee optimal contrast.
The LX800 processor offers enough power to display HTML pages or to serve as a remote client, which is said to allow high-performance visualisation and handling of processes on site.
For a higher processing power, an Intel Atom with 1.6GHz together with Windows 7 Embedded is optionally available.
The latest visualisation software for the Polaris series BMS Graf pro Runtime 7 enables the user to work under Windows XP Embedded, for example, to transmit projects via Ethernet, to use graphic lists or to handle an integrated user management.
An intrinsically safe USB interface for USB Ex I-memory sticks is also included.
In addition to that, an intrinsically safe mouse, a trackball and a touchpad can be connected.
Polaris devices are available in standard versions or in customised versions.
They can also be delivered in a stainless-steel casing.
