ARBOR Technology, a leading provider of embedded computing solutions, is pleased to introduce an addition to its long-running FPC line of industrial automation systems computers. The advanced new FPC-7900 series, which includes four different models, delivers reliable operation, plenty of onboard I/O, unparalleled expansion and configuration flexibility, multi-standard support, and scalable performance to address numerous applications and project requirements, making it suitable for use in a wide range of industrial environments with particular emphasis on Industry 4.0 automation applications.

Better Performance and Application-ready Construction
Building on the success and DNA of existing FPC models, the new FPC-7900 Series incorporates state-of-the-art technology and is ARBOR’s most advanced Box PC solution ever. FPC-7900 models are based on Intel® 7th generation "Kaby Lake" Core i3, Core i5, Core i7 processors and Intel C236 chipsets. Manufactured on the latest 14-nm technology, 7th Gen Intel Core processors offer improved power efficiency, enabling fanless operation even at high performance levels. If even more power is needed, ARBOR offers a 65 watt TDP version with Smart Fan control. All Kaby Lake-based models run Windows 10. For customers wishing to run Windows 7, a (6th gen) Intel Xeon option is available as well.

The FPC-7900 Series comes in two different form factors differentiated by their internal expansion capabilities. Available with the same processors and standard connectivity, but deviating from the base model by a taller housing with a vertical riser card, ARBOR offers models with three different combinations of PCI and PCIe expansion slots. These offer room for a PCI slot and a PCIe x16 slot (FPC-7901); a PCIe x16 slot and a PCIe x8 slot (FPC-7902); or two PCI slots (FPC-7903). This support of standard PCI or PCIe expansion cards greatly broadens the application potential of the FPC-7900 Series for all sorts of industrial applications.

Rich I/O Interface and Functional Design
Designed as powerful general purpose industrial computers, the FPC-7900 series is equipped with a generous complement of industry standard I/O ports, including six USB 3.0 ports, four serial RS232 DB9 ports, and two serial RS-232/422/485 ports. Three Ethernet RJ45 jacks allow connection to multiple networks. Four video ports including one DP/HDMI Combo support different video standards (VGA, DVI-D, HDMI, and DisplayPort), and the system can drive three independent displays. Its front I/O is ideal for wall mount application.

Security and Safety Protection
The FPC-7900 Series offers a wide-range DC Power input of 9-36V, resistance to vibration, shock, humidity and temperature extremes. COM ports are isolated to protect equipment from electrical surges and transient voltage spikes. TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module) technology provides hardware-based security by generating, storing, and managing the use of cryptographic keys.
