Description - Advantech AWS-8124T User Manual

1.1 Description

The AWS-8124 series mini workstations are compact units that
meet all the requirements for an industrial man-machine interface.
A heavy-duty steel chassis and a sealed aluminum alloy front panel
meet the toughest industrial and environmental protection stan-
dards. AWS-8124 series workstations include a 4-slot passive
backplane, 80 -watt power supply, a floppy disk drive and space for
a hard disk drive.
The AWS-8124 is compact, lightweight and easy to maintain.
Flexible, Expandable Industrial Workstations
PC-based systems can monitor and sample the data of several
traditional PLC controllers simultaneously. They are able to take
full advantage of a wide range of available software programs, and
upgrading can be quickly and easily achieved with the use of plug-
in CPU cards.
The user interface of the AWS-8124 can be customized with
additional components. Advantech is the leader in half-size tech-
nology. When we designed the AWS-8124 series we took advan-
tages of the half-size form factor to give you the tightest package
possible. Don't worry about finding hardware for your system.
Unlike other workstation manufacturers, we produce everything
you need, including a full line of half-size CPU cards and DA&C
hardware. For users who require a more intuitive interface we
supply touchscreens (See Appendix A for a detailed description).
Workers can control a process by simply touching their fingers to
the monitor. This option is especially useful for Windows-based
operation.
