Taipei Taiwan (June 15, 2007) - AAEON, a professional Industrial PC manufacturer, is pleased to announce an economic Operator Panel, the AOP-8070.  More and more people are asking for a small size, multi-function Panel PC to fit into a compact and rugged environment.  AOP-8070 features 7" 16:9 WQVGA TFT LCD and adopts Marvell PXA 270 for 1st TTL LCD and CRT output.  The 2nd TTL LCD output is an optional function that could be activated by an Intel 2700G chipset.  This 7" 16:9 TFT LCD is more readable in view area compared to traditional 6" or 5.4" STN or TFT LCD.  More graphic or text content can be displayed.  The brightness is also higher than traditional HMI.
 
AOP-8070 operator panel adopts an Marvell Xscale processor that is specially designed to serve as a human machine interface (HMI). The Marvell Xscale PXA 270 is faster than traditional ARM7 or 32bit CPU.  It empowers the user to maximize the AOP-8070 in different automation projects.  AOP-8070's onboard Ethernet controller and multi-COM port interfaces make it offers great expansion capabilities.  With a built-in CompactFlash socket, the AOP-8070 is as compact and user friendly as a multi-function computer. Moreover, its "fit anywhere" design makes it very flexible and can be used in varying installations. It can be wall-mounted, panel-mounted or mounted on a DIN Rail.  The VESA 75/100 are standard mounting tools for AOP-8070.  This tool provides safety and is an easy way to install the AOP-8070 and ensure the security of your system investment.
 
Regarding the AOP-8070's construction, it passed IP-65 certification for the plastic front panel and aluminum rear cover. For many critical applications, the IP-65 certification is essential and necessary for panel products. "As a leading manufacturer of IPC industry, AAEON developed an innovative product that satisfies customers' needs.  The AOP-8070 is a fanless operator panel which features low power consumption and strong functionalities.  For excellent performance at a reasonable price, the AOP-8070 is your best choice," said Owen Huang, AAEON's Product manager of Panel Appliance and Automation Division.
 
In addition to the HMI market, AOP-8070 targets transportation, entertainment and Point of Promotion markets, as well. For system integrators, this simple, complete, compact and highly integrated system lets you easily build an operator panel into your applications. Common industrial applications include factory automation systems, precision machinery, and production process control. It is also suitable for many non-industrial applications, including vending machine and car park automation. Our operator panel is a reliable, cost-effective solution to your application's processing requirements.
