The IP65 compliant front panel and IP41 rear box provide robust protection against dust and water ingress. Operating temperatures range from -10°C to 50°C (14°F to 122°F).
- Durable Touch Display: The 21.5″ Full HD (1920 x 1080) full flat front panel with projected capacitive touch supports multi-touch functionality for intuitive operation even in gloved hand conditions. The 500 cd/m² luminance and wide viewing angles ensure excellent visibility in various lighting conditions.
- Extensive Connectivity: Equipped with 4 x USB 3.2 ports, 2 x COM ports, and dual Intel Gigabit LAN, this panel PC offers versatile connectivity for peripherals and network integration. Dual M.2 slots (Key-B and Key-E) provide expansion for storage and wireless communication modules (Wi-Fi, BT, 4G/5G optional).
- Flexible Expansion with IET: The inclusion of an 80-pin IET interface is a standout feature, allowing for customized expansion through IET modules. Crucially, this includes IET OBDII modules, enabling direct vehicle communication.
- Wide Voltage Input and TPM 2.0: Supports a wide voltage input range of +12V to +24V and includes ErP power efficiency. TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module) enhances security.
IET OBDII Module Options for Diverse Vehicle Standards
The versatility of this rugged panel PC is further amplified by the range of available IET OBDII modules. These modules cater to different vehicle communication protocols, ensuring compatibility across a broad spectrum of vehicles:
- ACC-ARC-OBDII-01R: OBDII – CAN bus IET module for ARC-1535/1538 (OBDII/EOBD for small vehicles). This module is designed for standard OBDII and EOBD protocols found in most passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.
- ACC-ARC-OBDII-02R: OBDII – CAN bus IET module for ARC-1535/1538 (J1939/J1708 for large vehicles). This option supports J1939 and J1708 protocols, common in heavy-duty vehicles, trucks, buses, and off-highway equipment.
- ACC-ARC-OBDII-03R: OBDII – CAN bus IET module for ARC-1535/1538 (ISO15765-4 for special large vehicles). This module supports ISO15765-4, catering to specialized or larger vehicles that might utilize this specific CAN bus protocol.
These IET OBDII modules are easily interchangeable, allowing users to adapt the panel PC to diagnose a variety of vehicle types with the appropriate communication standard. Beyond OBDII, the IET expansion also supports modules for additional USB, audio, COM, HDMI, MPCIe, GPIO, and CAN Bus functionalities, further increasing the system’s adaptability.
