Bachmann electronic is launching a new product family of Panel PCs. The PPC1200 will replace the established OT1200 during the course of 2026. The PPC1200 will be available in two versions: The Eco version of the new Panel PC has been specially developed for price-sensitive industrial applications. It has one Ethernet and two USB 2.0 ports. The PPC1200 Premium, on the other hand, comes with two additional USB 3.0 and Ethernet ports, a microSD slot, and an HDMI port. The latter can be used to extend or mirror the screen content on a second monitor. The Premium version can also be customized with numerous interfaces, for example to connect an uninterruptible power supply via the serial RS232 interface, set up a RAID1 system using a second microSD card, or increase network security with additional Ethernet connections.
The new Panel PC is based on state-of-the-art technology: In addition to the latest Intel Atom® processors with two (Eco) or four cores (Premium), the PPC1200 is powered by the latest LDDR5 memory modules with 4 or 8 GB capacity. Thanks to the generously dimensioned onboard mass storage of 4 GB or 16 GB, large applications with their data and alarm history can be conveniently stored directly on the base devices. The microSD slot of the PPC1200 Premium allows the data and application memory to be expanded further, and applications can be easily distributed across many devices or restored when replaced.
The device can host any browser- or Linux-based applications from the areas of Edge, HMI, SCADA, BDE/ERP clients, and engineering. Operation with the pre-installable, orderable web-based visualization and SCADA software products webMI Pro® and atvise® from Bachmann is particularly convenient and cost-efficient.
