Phoenix Contact announces its ValueLine industrial PCs

Phoenix Contact has introduced a line of competitively priced, configurable industrial PCs. ValueLine industrial PCs are available in a range of models, screen sizes and CPU choices to match the ValueLine PC to a variety of automation, process visualization and control applications.

Select features include a fanless design, large 15- or 17-inch TFT touch screens, Core2Duo 1.5 GHz or Celeron M1.0 GHz CPUs, up to 4 GB DDR-RAM and 64 GB solid-state hard drive (SSHD) option. Dual, independent 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports make networking easy. Extended temperature range models are available for special applications. Several mounting options allow installation in various orientations, both inside and outside of the control enclosure.

Optional PCI slots can be added when the application requires connectivity to an I/O fieldbus. ValueLine's maintenance-friendly design provides easy and quick access to the removable hard drive chassis, 2 CF slots and real-time clock battery.

Steeplechase VLC flow chart control software can be pre-installed at the factory, reducing cost and time and providing high-speed control for demanding applications.
