(Cincinnati, Ohio – 01/19/2006) - The Industrial Automation Group of Advantech introduces the ATM-4233, an all-in-one chassis for industrial automation platforms. Traditional Industrial PCs need to be connected to a separate keyboard, mouse, and monitor to provide the appropriate user interfaces. The ATM-4233 conveniently combines LCD display, keyboard, touch pad, function keys, cursor keys and OSD control in a single chassis.The ATM-4233 has a powerful computing platform with high expansion capacity. It integrates a video A/D board to ensure CPU card compatibility up to Intel Pentium 4, Pentium M (fanless), and Celeron CPU cards.
ATM-4233’s offers 14 expansion slots that can be used for ISA cards, PCI cards, CPU cards, or any combination of these. There are two USB ports on the chassis front and it has an ATX-standard power supply. Changing parts has been made easy by a mechanical design where you can remove the top cover and have quick access to all components.The chassis has been equipped with five function keys to the left of the LCD. To the right of the LCD, there are five cursor keys that assist with moving quickly through menus and change settings.
An 88-key slim-type keyboard with a touch pad is hidden in a pull-out drawer. OSD control is conveniently placed in front to easily alter LCD brightness and contrast. To prevent accidental shutdowns, the reset and power buttons are placed behind a lockable door.With all these features, the ATM-4233 is very suitable for environment monitoring and facility monitoring where the screen is not commonly used but is necessary for operators to take a quick check on equipment status. It also makes a perfect platform for Test and Measurement applications where testing equipment needs to be rack based and space conscious.
