Celeron
®
or
Pentium
®
III processor with a flat-panel display to offer a powerful, compact
package for the factory floor and other harsh environments. These PCs feature an
open architecture to meet a wide variety of applications that require both a
powerful PC and a durable industrial enclosure. The system integrates a computer
card cage, mass storage, display, and power supply in a reliable industrial form
factor.
The 3612T and 3615T are Industrial PCs with touch screen displays. The
3612KPM and 3615KPM are Industrial PCs with displays, integrated keypads and
integrated mouses. The 3612KPMT and 3615KPMT are Industrial PCs with
integrated keypads, integrated mouses, and touch screen displays.
