Leading IPC provider AAEON today announced the release of two new Panel PCs: the ACP-2106, which features a 10" WXGA screen, and the ACP-2076, equipped with a 7" WSVGA Projected Capacitive Multi-Touch screen. Compared to its previous Panel PC offerings, both the ACP-2106 and ACP-2076 offer substantial improvements in processing power, with a choice of either the Intel Processor N50 or Intel Processor N97 CPU. Moreover, both new additions to the range support up to 32 GB of DDR5, compared to the 8 GB of DDR3L offered by the previous generation. With these improvements, the ACP-2106 and ACP-2076 are clearly designed for use in more advanced and taxing industrial and commercial applications, with retail and industrial automation thought to be primary target markets.

The ACP-2076 grants users a 7" display with 1024 x 600 resolution, while the ACP-2106's 10" screen offers a slightly higher resolution of 1280 x 800. Both PCs are also equipped with an HDMI 1.4b port, making them suitable for applications that require dual-display capabilities, such as smart kiosks. Both models also provide wide viewing angles and high brightness levels, with the ACP-2076 achieving 320 cd/m² and the ACP-2106 reaching 300 cd/m², ensuring consistent visibility in a variety of environments.With regard to the series' potential in the industrial automation market, the ACP-2106 and ACP-2076 are equipped with a broad selection of advanced communication interfaces. These include dual LAN ports that support 2.5 GbE speeds, an 8-bit GPIO, and two DB-9 ports that offer RS-232/422/485 connectivity. AAEON notes that two additional RS-232 interfaces are available via optional side panel-based DB-9 ports. Onboard connectivity is accompanied by broad expansion options, including an M.2 3052 B-Key slot with a Nano SIM card slot for 5G module support, as well as an M.2 2230 E-Key slot for Wi-Fi connectivity.

IP65-compliant aluminium front bezels, VESA and panel mounting options, and robust, fanless mechanical designs make the ACP-2106 and ACP-2076 add credence to their suitability for integration within industrial settings.
