Fanless and Reliable

Retail hardened computers need to be reliable, as they often are used for mission critical applications and not placed in an office environment. The Logic Controls LC8600 provides unparalleled reliability by being a fanless and ventless unit. It is an ideal computer for use in harsh environments with high levels of dust or oil or when fan noise is not desirable. For enhanced reliability, all of the computer components and connectors reside on one PC board. The LC8600’s single board computer limits the number of internal cables, a common source of loose connections and failures. A true no-moving-part operation is provided when compact flash is used for mass storage or boot-from-network configurations are employed.

The LC8600 has a very compact form factor – only 2”H x 8”W x 6”D. Two mounting tabs enable these modules to be mounted almost anywhere – on a wall, ceiling, table top or under a counter. For minimum foot-print, the LC8600 can be mounted vertically. The computer is housed in a rugged die cast case for extra protection.

The LC8600 provides a very impressive compliment of modern and legacy I/O ports. Up to 4 serial, 7 USB 2.0, 1 VGA, 1 DVI-I, 1 parallel, 1 Ethernet, PS/2 keyboard and mouse, microphone and speaker ports are all available. Hence industrial applications that require serial or parallel interfaces are fully addressed. The LC8600 also uses Intel high performance processors, so it can run all Windows and Linux-based graphics and video applications. Whether your application runs on Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows XP embedded, Windows 2000, Windows CE or Linux, your operating system needs are supported by the LC8600. This enables the unit to be used in a wide variety of applications – in a restaurant’s kitchen system, in a POS workstation, in an auto ID workstation, etc.
