Portwell Announces High-Performance PEDA-S1530 Panel PC Based on ULT 4th Gen Intel Core Processors

June 5, 2014 - PRLog -- FREMONT, CA. -- American Portwell Technology, Inc., (http://www.portwell.com) a wholly owned subsidiary of Portwell, Inc., a world-leading innovator in the Industrial PC (IPC) market and a Premier member of the Intel® Internet of Things (IoT) Solutions Alliance, announces PEDA-S1530, a new high-performance and fan-less panel PC with five-wire resistive touch screen. The Portwell PEDA-S1530 Panel PC is powered by the ultra-low-TDP 4th generation Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 processors and Intel® Celeron® processor, and includes 4GB DDR3L SO-DIMM memory which can be upgraded to 16GB.

The fan-less design ensures silent operation, improved reliability and reduced maintenance costs. Equipped with a 15-inch True Flat five-wire resistive touchscreen and a resolution of 1024 x 768, the PEDA-S1530 comes with an IP65 rated front panel, and is housed in an aluminum bezel with anodizing coating. This allows PEDA-S1530 to operate under harsh environments. In addition, the PEDA-S1530 features all required interfaces for industrial application: 1 x HDMI port, 1 x DisplayPort, 2 x Gigabit Ethernet, 2 x USB 2.0, 2 x USB 3.0, 1 x RS-232/422/485 port, 3 x RS-232 ports, 1 x 2.5" SATA HDD or SSD, 1 x mSATA device and a Compact Flexibility from Embedded eXtension (CFEX) slot for storage capacity. Two SMA antenna holes provide optional WiFi and 3G function via Mini-PCIe add-on card and SIM card reader.

Modularization is the major design concept for Portwell’s PEDA Panel PC series, which enables the panel PC unit separated into an independent “PC box” and a “touch panel display”. As a result, users can choose different sizes of panel from 12.1˝ to 21.5˝ to integrate with the “PC box” by customized cabling. PEDA-S1530 also includes a friendly, tool-less installation design for quick and easy hard drive installation.

Portwell’s PEDA-S1530 features a built-in expansion slot allowing users to implement various half-size PCI Express cards to meet different industrial requirements. It is designed with CFEX, a new CompactFlash (CF) technology initiated by Portwell and adapting legacy CF type one with advanced pin definitions. This helps overcome reliability issues with standard commercial memory. CFEX also supports SATA 3.0, SPI and other extensions, and achieves a read speed of 100 to 120Mbyte/s and write speed of 45 to 75Mbyte/s. Compared with other CF devices, it falls in the same low-cost bracket as CF and CF SATA and is less expensive than CFast.

Additionally, the Portwell PEDA-S1530 supports 12~24V wide range DC input for various operating environments. The PEDA-S1530 offers panel mounting and is equipped with standard 100mm x 100mm VESA mounting holes. It supports many mainstream operating systems, such as Microsoft® Windows® 8, Windows 7 and Linux™.
