Fanless System with Reliable Thermal Design

The DRPC-240's thermal design is optimized for better heat conduction using a pin-fin heatsink concept. This enhances two dimensional heat conduction and reduces flow impedance for better heat dissipation in this fan-less system. The overall weight is thus reduced by 35%, significantly enhancing system reliability in vibration-sensitive applications, such as AGV. Moreover, this innovative thermal design allows the DRPC-240 to maximize superior performance compared to those with traditional plate heatsink consisting of parallel fins.

The demands on the intelligence of buildings have increased constantly in recent years, such that the energy efficiency as well as a good “return on investment” is the priority. The idea of a “green building” based on sustainable, energy-efficient construction and building use can be realized with intelligent, integral building automation. DRPC-240 provides six set of serial ports which can fulfill user’s demands to connect a large number of devices through serial ports. Utilizing Ethernet connections to communicate with other control system, users could monitor building status and control devices, achieving easy remote management.

Information technology adds intelligence to factories from design to the end of the process. Today’s technologies automate the collection, storage and retrieval of data from across multiple factories and factory sub-systems to make that data available for decision makers, from facility managers to supervisors. DRPC-240 plays a role as the data collector gateway, connecting end devices with the data base. It could also connect with data dashboards to display information like load p rofile analysis, energy usage benchmarking, utility rate benchmarking, and energy budget tracking. Considering the needs of the applications in harsh outdoor environments, the DRPC-240 can support wide operating temperature from -20ºC ~ 60ºC.
