Kontron announced the latest and smallest member of its slimline Micro Client family of industrial panel pcs. With a touch-screen display of only 7 inches, the space-saving and versatile Kontron M@C 70 offers scalable Intel® Celeron® performance and a host of interfaces in an easy-to-mount and flexible design.

The new Micro Client M@C 70 is an extremely compact and slim-line (installation depth < 50 mm) panel PC that is less expensive than a full-fledged IPC but still offers sophisticated graphics, intuitive GUIs and touch-screen operation on a 800x480 TFT display. Designed with flexibility in mind, this panel PC provides scalable performance up to the Celeron® M 600 MHz processor for use as either a thin client, web client, user terminal or controller. The Kontron M@C 70 is a flexible solution with 2 x 10/100 Ethernet, 2 x USB 2.0, 1 x RS232 with optional RS422/RS485 as well as optional CAN bus. Industrial power supplies ranging from 11.4 V to 28.8 V ensures industrial safe and direct connection to industrial power systems, making the M@C 70 ideal for a wide range of applications in machine and system manufacturing, vehicle engineering, professional building management systems, medical technology and transportation to name just a few.

As a complete all in one HMI system, the M@C 70 Micro Client panel PC is also a model choice for Point of Sale, Point of Information, stand alone kiosks and other applications that require easy installation via the rear of the machine. In addition, traditional panel mounting as well as VESA mounting, make the compact and versatile Kontron M@C 70 the truly mount-anywhere panel PC.
