MPC-3000 Series Panel Computers

There are six panel computer variations within the MPC-3000 series, each with varying sizes to meet unique application needs. The panel PCs are available with screen sizes from 7 inches to 15.6 inches. The panel PCs are designed to be rugged, featuring a modular design that facilitates maintenance and reduces downtime in the harsh industrial setting.

Moxa has attempted to minimize system complexity by employing a cableless design for both the front and rear panels, allowing for quick and easy component replacement. This efficient, modular architecture improves total runtime efficiency, ensuring that maintenance tasks have minimal impact on operations. It also helps to reduce skilled labor costs by freeing up technicians and engineers for tasks other than computer-related downtime maintenance.

The PCs include an Intel Atom x6211E dual-core or x6425E quad-core processor for reliable and speedy processing. In addition, a wide operating temperature range of -30 to 60 °C ensures their dependability in various working conditions. Their fanless construction further enhances the simplicity of the computers. The design also eliminates the need for a heater.

Rugged and Reliable Computing

Moxa has focused on creating a reliable, easy-to-integrate solution for industrial computing needs. The MPC-3000 panel PCs have advanced touchscreen functionality, sunlight-readable displays, and support for wide temperature ranges, making them ideal for outdoor applications. Some common applications include use in oil and gas fields, marine operations, or other challenging environments. Glove-friendly touchscreen capability will be appreciated for most of these applications where PPE requirements demand operators to wear gloves.
