New Range of Web Operator Panels with Level Four ESD Protection

CINCINNATI - Oct. 9, 2013 - PRLog -- Advantech’s Industrial Automation Group has launched an exciting new range of web operator panels. These newly designed models, with a flat panel IP66 certified aluminum edging, include the latest Intel® Cortex-A8 processor which is not only faster but, also consumes a minimum amount of power.  They have been designed to work in temperatures as low as -20°C and as high as 60°C and support CANopen, Modbus, and Ethernet protocols to ensure that they’ll connect to your existing network.

The WebOP-3000 series have dual level four Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection and fully meet IEC-61000 requirements. This level of protection makes them ideal for work in semi-conductor factories where ESD is a major concern.

To protect the models from sudden spikes in the electricity supply, the WebOP-3000T series is equipped with power and terminal I/O port isolation protection so, that in the event of power surges, the panel’s components will not be affected. This level of protection not only prevents immediate damage to the devices but also increases the life of the products.

In the event of power failure to the WebOPs, they are protected against immediate data loss by the inclusion of 128KB FRAM (Ferroelectric RAM) which doesn’t require a battery to operate. Storage memory is 512MB SLC flash memory, which provides faster access times and 100,000 read-write cycles, making it ideal for heavy use industrial applications that also require lower power consumption.

With their powerful features, the WebOP-3000 series are latest operator panels to be used in restricted environments such as: automated parking, bottling plants, semi-conductor manufacturing, petrochemical plants and many more.  Visit http://www.advantech.com
