Introduction
MPC-2190 panel computers feature an Intel® 3rd
generation processor matched to 4 GB of system memory, delivering
a reliable, high-performance platform of wide versatility for use
in industrial marine environments. With its two RS-232/422/485 serial
ports, four NMEA 0183 ports, and two Gigabit Ethernet ports, the MPC-2190
panel computer supports a wide variety of serial and marine-specific
interfaces as well as high-speed IT communications, all with native
network redundancy.
The MPC-2190 Series comes with a range of standard display enhancements
useful in industrial environments (including full range dimming, wide
viewing angles, and optional optical bonding), as well as a few innovations
especially deployed for maritime environments: user-friendly OSD controls,
called SavvyTouch, featuring a proximity sensor for convenient adjustment
in dark situations, immediate BIOS-level reports on hardware status
(useful for determining why a machine will not boot up), and a quick-switch
ECDIS button (for color-calibrated ECDIS models only) that allows
instant brightness adjustments to any of the three pre-set calibrations
dictated by the ECDIS standard. In addition to all of this, the MPC-2190
Series features a modular design that makes device integration into
either new or existing industrial systems much simpler, reducing deployment
costs and overall time-to-market.
The MPC-2190 panel computers are
compliant with several industrial marine standards, including IEC
60945, IEC 61162, IEC 61174, DNV, and IACS E10, verifying their resilience
for maritime operations. The IP54 (front panel) and IP22 (rear panel)
rated unibody shell provides strong additional protection against
the harsh conditions found in marine environments.
Color-calibrated ECDIS models are
available upon request, providing an ideal HMI alternative for ECDIS
charting and navigation stations.
