Industrial Panel Computer IPC A 10.4-XT
 
  IPC A 10.4-XT
   
  The IPC A is a general purpose Motorola MPC823 processor based information and control panel with Linux operating system. IPC A is especially designed for harsh applications, where it is exposed to extreme environmental conditions and where a high reliability is an absolute must. Typical installations include transportation, offshore and military applications

IPC A is delivered with several temperature versions, XT, ET and ST. The modularity of the panel allows it easily to be tailored for various industrial applications. Several display, interface and component rating options are available.

IPC A has a Linux operating system with journaling, compressing JFSS V2.0 flash file system and Busybox shell & utilities. Standard C-Library (LibC) and DirectFB GUI library v0.9.x libraries and basic Unix utilities such as ps, ls, cp, sz, rz are supported.

Application SW generation takes place either with a standard GNU C/C++ cross compiler and a linker hosted on desktop Linux using an IPC API interface or utilising a graphical Panel Application Generator design and simulation tool hosted in Windows environment.

The electronics is housed in an IP 65 (at front) classified 150 mm deep steel enclosure. There are no moving parts in the panel. The heat dissipation is arranged through a convection cooling and IPC A Power Management System (PMS) protects the device against excessive temperature ranges.
