OnLogic Unveils Rugged Panel PCs For Manufacturing, Logistics, and Energy Management
New modular all-in-one solutions have thousands of configuration options to provide reliable data access and visualization in challenging environments.
Industrial computer hardware manufacturer and solution provider OnLogic (www.onlogic.com) has unveiled their new Tacton Series of rugged panel PCs and industrial touchscreen displays, designed to empower innovators with the tools they need for advanced automation, industrial Control, and data visualization. Tacton was developed from the ground up by OnLogic as a reliable, highly configurable, secure, and easy-to-install HMI solution for manufacturing, warehousing, energy management, and transportation applications.
“The Tacton Series gives users the best of both worlds in an all-in-one touchscreen computer,” said David Zhu-Grant, Product Management Lead at OnLogic. “We heard from users that they needed a highly configurable system but didn’t lock them into paying for features they didn’t need. We took that input and designed a solution that can be customized to the unique requirements of a given project, is easy to install, and is built to last. We’re excited to see how innovators put Tacton Panel PCs to use, empowering next-generation edge solutions.”
Highly-configurable Rugged Panel PCs & Industrial Displays
The Tacton TC401 is a rugged all-in-one Panel PC with integrated AI acceleration capabilities provided by a range of Intel® 12th Gen processors. Customization capabilities augment an extensive I/O coastline via OnLogic’s proprietary ModBay™, which can be used to add additional connectivity to support specific user application requirements.
To provide additional flexibility in compute performance and application, OnLogic also announced the Tacton TN101, a line of standalone displays that can be used with any of OnLogic’s other industrial or rugged computers.
Engineered for Challenging Environments
To help ensure reliability in a wide range of installation environments, Tacton Series displays are UV and vibration-resistant, have a broad input power and wide operating temperature range, and are available with ignition sensing for in-vehicle installations. The projected capacitive screens offer a 7H hardness, multi-touch support, optical bonding, and anti-water technology to prevent unintended inputs during washdown.
Premium Industrial Displays
The Tacton Series’ modular design allows users to select from 18 different screen options for the TC401 or TN101. Screens are available in 3 sizes: regular or high brightness, resistive or projected capacitive touch interface, and IP66 or IP69K water—and dust-ingress-protected front bezels. They can also be configured with an optional integrated front-facing camera.
Built-in Security Features
To deter unauthorized access, the Tacton TC401 has built-in intrusion detection, which allows users to be notified when the control cabinet in which Tacton is installed is opened. An optional port blocking and cable securing bracket with onboard power supply mounting points help to protect against access to unused ports and secure cables to reduce the risk of accidental disconnection. Onboard TPM 2.0 hardware security helps protect data by providing secure boot, platform integrity monitoring, and remote attestation capability.
Engineered for Ease of Installation and Use
The Tacton Series can be installed via standard VESA mount or panel mounted using OnLogic’s patent-pending toolless, ruggedized, locking panel mounting clips designed to prevent unscrewing in vibration-prone installations. A unique front mounting bar helps speed installation, while a corner-mounted LED light pipe on the system’s rear provides status light visibility from multiple viewing angles.
