Overview
The National Instruments PPC-2015 is an industrial panel PC with built-in
touch screen. The NI PPC-2105 combines a 2 GHz Pentium 4 proccessor
with a rugged 15 in. touch screen to create a human-machine interface
(HMI) system for NI PACs. When configured with National Instruments
LabVIEW software, it provides a complete HMI solution. It also can
become a versatile measurement and automation workstation when
configured with NI hardware such as industrial PCI-based DAQ boards or
external USB-based DAQ modules. With National Instruments hardware
and software platforms, you can address a wide range of measurement and
automation applications.
Rugged Industrial Design
The PPC-2015 features a stainless steel chassis with an aluminum front
panel. An integrated NEMA4/IP65-compliant touch screen display
eliminates the cabling associated with external monitors, and its flat-panel
technology conserves limited rack and panel space on the plant floor.
The PPC-2015 touch screen display features tempered, antireflective
glass that is also coated to minimize scratching. NEMA4/IP65 compliance
ensures that the unit can meet applications with hose-down requirements.
Unlike commercial PCs, the PPC-2015 features extended shock, vibration,
and temperature ratings plus global safety standards and agency
certifications. To address special application requirements, a rack-mount
kit is available.
Flexible Open Platform
Unlike dedicated visualization platforms such as message displays and
graphics terminals, the PPC-2015 features an open, extensible PC-based
architecture fully compatible with National Instruments and commercial
third-party hardware and software components. Featuring Windows XP,
an internal PCI bus, and a choice of communication buses (serial, parallel,
USB, PCMCIA, and Ethernet), it can be configured to address requirements
beyond traditional HMI applications. When configured with the NI LabVIEW
graphical programming environment and data acquisition, vision, motion,
or PAC hardware, the PPC-2015 provides a complete, ready-to-run solution.

Programmable Automation Controller (PAC)
The PPC-2015 is a PAC platform based on an open-architecture
commercial platform. By using industry standards (for example PCI, USB,
and Ethernet), LabVIEW software, and NI hardware and software
components, the PPC-2015 system provides:
• A single environment for HMI and programming
• A complete solution – I/O, motion, vision, and software
• Time and cost-saving single sourcing
• Guaranteed compatibility between system hardware
and software components
• Tight integration of system components for optimal performance
• Easy integration of third-party hardware components
• Device-level and enterprise-level connectivity
