- Intecolor Corporation, a leading manufacturer of industrial displays and
- workstations, has introduced three new 12-slot versions of its popular
- 386SX-based industrial workstations. The new units feature greater
- expansion capability and other advanced ruggedization features that make
- them ideal for industrial applications.
-
- Three new models were announced: two standalone workstations and a
- rackmount computer version known as a workrack. The fully integrated
- workstations--the WS3002-20P and WS3002-20R -- include a 20-inch color
- display and are available in rackmount and panel-mount enclosures. The
- WR3102-00R workrack's smaller footprint with an 18-inch depth allows it to
- fit into almost any console.
-
- "We added the 12-slot design into our product offerings for our customers
- who require additional open slots to accommodate expansion," said Stan
- Jessen, systems product manager at Intecolor.
-
- The rackmount workstation and workrack are cooled with front-mounted
- filtered fans that use positive air pressure to first cool the cards, then
- the power supply.
-
- The new workstations also include a rugged 200 watt power supply; dual,
- individual card restraints that guard against shock and vibration, making
- the computer more secure in harsh environments; and a .093-PCB passive
- backplane and 16-gauge steel construction.
-
- In addition to the industrial features, the 12-slot line simplifies
- maintenance and security. With only a few captive screws to provide easy
- access, the cover can be easily removed without danger of losing the
- screws. An optional diagnostic card monitors the system's status,
- including the cooling system and power supply, and drives a front-panel
- alphanumeric display that can alert the user to potential or actual
- problems.
-
- A front door conceals the power and reset switches, front keyboard
- connector, disk drives and the workstation monitor's controls.
-
- The base unit includes a 12-slot passive backplane, 386SX CPU, VGA board,
- 52M hard drive and a 1.44M floppy drive. The workstations also include a
- 20-inch 800 x 600 VGA monitor. Optional processor boards include
- high-performance 386DX and 486DX with up to 32M of RAM. Hard drives are
- available with capacities to over lG byte. Monitor resolutions can be
- provided up to 1280 x 1024 non-interlaced.
-
- Multiple I/O is available utilizing the latest touchscreen technology, in
- addition to other input devices such as full environmental keyboards,
- function keypads, mice and trackballs.
-
- Intecolor is a complete systems integrator that offers customized features,
- such as stainless steel enclosures and various consoles, for specialized
- industries. For explosion-proof applications, purged enclosures for NFPA
- (National Fire Protection Association) with heat exchangers or air
- conditioners are available.
-
- The 12-slot workstations are available now, and single-piece pricing starts
- at $7,495, based on configuration. Pricing for the 12-slot workrack which
- will be available in April, starts at $4,995, also based on
- configuration.
-
- Intecolor will demonstrate the new products at the International Control
- Engineering Exposition and Conference, Booth #3311, in Chicago beginning
- February 24.
