October 25, 2011 - Lanner Electronics released LEC-2220 industrial PC. This platform is made for the Intel Core i5 and i7 processors and features dual-screen support, several expansion slots and an easily maintained fan solution. Engineered for long-lasting field performance, the LEC-2220 is able to manage almost any IPC task. The LEC-2220 comes equipped with the Intel Core i5 / i7 and the Intel HM55 chipset. This Intel Core chip and chipset offers significant improvements in thermal conductivity and power use.
There are also improvements in graphics performance, which enables HD-quality output. The 2 video out ports along the front face of the LEC-2220 are DVI interfaces. One is a DVI-I interface the other is a DVI-D. Both offer HD-quality output and with the Intel HD graphics chip both can be used at the same time so LEC-2220 can provide output for 2 HD screens. The system uses DDR3 memory that can be upgraded up to 8 GB.
Like many other Lanner industrial computers, LEC-2220 offers expansion slots for end user applications. The LEC-2220 however, also allows users to choose their expansion slots. Every model comes with a Mini-PCIe card attached to a SIM card reader for 3G and GPS type applications, but users also have the option to order the LEC-2220 with an extra PCI slot, PCIe slot or even 2 PCI slots. Another feature in the LEC-2220 is the externally replaceable fan. The LEC-2220 is built for high processing power and therefore needs a fan to cool down.
Unlike competitor solutions, the LEC-2220 has an enclosed chassis with a fan that sits on top of the unit. This fan blows the warm air out of the aluminum chassis and can be easily replaced without actually opening the chassis. Other I/O includes six serial ports, two Intel Gigabit Ethernet ports, four USB ports and DIDO. The serial ports come with different interfaces: two in the DB9 form factor, one of which is capable of carrying RS-232 signals and another capable of carrying RS-232, 422 and 485 signals. The other four serial ports are connected via a terminal block, three of these are capable of carrying RS-232 signals, while the last one can carry RS-232, 422 and 485.
The Intel Ethernet ports are in the RJ-45 form factor and uses Intel 82574L network controllers.
