Spectra PowerTwin Series

<b>PANEL PC OR MONITOR: READY TO RUN</b> User-friendly, industry-oriented, resource-efficient, repair- and maintenance-friendly: this describes the panel PCs and monitors of the Spectra PowerTwin series. The models are characterized by a modular design that supports individual assembly for different application scenarios in the industrial environment. They are based on a modular principle in which the two main components of a panel PC or monitor - the display and the system unit (PC or monitor module) - are designed as independent logical units. All components are compatible with each other and can be combined via a uniform plug-in connection system. Only the desired system unit has to be plugged into the display in the selected size and an individually assembled panel PC is "ready-to-run". The modular design guarantees problem-free, cost-efficient adaptation at any time. The very wide display selection includes display diagonals from 8.4" to 24" in the standard version. Sunreadable versions with UV-resistant H7 tempered glass are available in 8" to 19". Additional widescreen variants from 15" to 24" complete the range. The operating technology can also be chosen between multi-touch, analog resistive or without touch. The PC modules of the Spectra PowerTwin series offer a wide selection of processors, ranging from Intel® Atom™ to Core™ i of the 9th generation. In all variants, operation is fanless. All models are designed for use as operating and control platforms in industrial environments and guarantee reliable operation even under high mechanical and thermal environmental influences. The PowerTwin series is also suitable for industrial use due to its wide range voltage input from 9 to 48 VDC and the robust IP65 front.

IMAGE PROCESSING IN A NEW DIMENSION Modern processes in industrial AI and machine vision are closely linked to image processing. This requires industrial PC systems with CPU and GPU performance large enough to process the tasks in real time. The Spectra PowerBox 5000 high-end GPU computing system opens the doors to a whole new dimension in image processing. It consists of a basic system that can be expanded with up to two modular GPU expansion boxes. With the help of this modular design, you can scale the system to suit your requirements. The excellent computing power of the base system is based on Intel® Xeon® or Core™ i3/i5/i7 (Coffee Lake-R) CPUs of the 9th generation and an Intel® C246 chipset as well as two DDR4-2666 ECC/non-ECC SO-DIMM up to 64 GB. The compact PC also has four 2.5" hot-swap SATA SSDs and has an M.2 M-key socket for NVMe SSD storage. By means of expansion cards, you can realise additional I/Os or further functionalities, such as 8 x GbE LAN/PoE, 6 x USB 3.2 and 2 x 10 GbE LAN. The GPU expansion boxes, which are simply plugged on to the base system, offer space when expanded to the maximum for two 250 W graphics cards with a length of 328 mm or other PCIe expansion cards. The total power consumption is 720 W max. Of course, these high performance requirements also demand a corresponding cooling concept. Effective heat dissipation is achieved by the special enclosure structure and the use of insulated external smart fan kits on both sides of the enclosure. The industrial usability of the high-end GPU computer is additionally supported by the mechanical construction of the compact PC, which ensures high shock and vibration resistance, and by the wide current input range of 9 to 48 V.
