Advantech has launched two new IP65 certified industrial workstations. With their 15?XGA TFT LCD with LED backlight displays, PICMG 1.3 slots, and membrane keypads, the AWS-8248 and AWS-8259 are ideal for machine builders and facTOry automation.

The LED backlit displays not only save energy but also allow for the better viewing of information and excellent clarity. The PICMG slots offer excellent expandability and a flexible configuration to support a PCI serial interface which can eliminate bottleneck caused when a PCI serial bus is used with the ISA bus. The membrane keyboard offers programmability to allow users to build systems that meet their exact requirements.

The distinguishing features of the AWS-8248V is that it has 13 PICe/PCI/PICMG 1.3 slots and by providing three card-cages and wing nut fasteners for add-on cards, CPU card, and power supply, this model is very easy to maintain. The AWS-8248V also includes: two 3.5" HDDs with mobile rack drive & DVD-ROM drive in back of chassis and onscreen display (OSD) operation keypad on the front panel. For further security in harsh environments, the AWS-8248V is coated in a hard anodic layer which prevents abrasion and corrosion and is also protected against vibrations of up to 1G.

The AWS-8259 has a detachable 15?1024x768 display which provides easy access for maintenance. With just an 8U footprint, the AWS-8259 has seven PICe/PCI/PICMG 1.3 slots and its keypad, touch pad, and front panel are waterproof so it can be cleaned in rigorous environments.
