A flexible, small-sized panel PC for HMIs

The key innovation - the expansion I/O bus hidden inside this new HMI product - ensure maximum flexibility and ease of customisation.

HMI-043T's fanless low-power design features DMP's latest Vortex86EX CPU and operates in harsh environments from -20 to +60°C. Its front panel, including the resistive touch screen, is IP65 protected.

The two standard products both have an SD Card slot, USB, CAN and LAN interfaces, but differ in their input voltage supply: either Power over Ethernet following IEEE 802.3at or wide range from +7 to +24V.

The HMI-043T is available in a 116 x 94 x 34mm metal enclosure as well as an open frame version which can be integrated into the customer's own housing. The HMI device supports DOS, Linux, Windows CE and RTOS.

The 100 quantity price for the standard HMI panel starts at just €99 per piece.
