High-Tech • Made in Switzerland
PACKED INDUSTRIAL PC WITH CORE (2) DUO PROCESSOR
The PIP is a low power, highly integrated rugged industrial PC with a specially designed aluminum housing.
This allows the PIP to operate in a standard or also in a harsh environment without fan or ventilation holes. The
design integrates standard connectors for easy connection. It can be used for any PC application where a
complete solution is needed. The PIP is 100% PC/AT compatible, and can easily be mounted on a 35 mm DIN
rail.
The PIP housing offers space for a 2.5 inch hard disk and a CD-ROM drive. With the integrated PC/104(- PLUS)
interface and the PCI-Express Mini Card Slot there are flexible expansion possibilities available. Fully bootable
FLASH disks are supported for projects where hard disks cannot be used. Particular precautions have been
taken that the EMC for the entire system is within the CE and FCC limits.
All these features make the PIP the ideal solution for the industry wherever a flexible, rugged and durable
complete Industrial PC is needed.
