Advantech Corp. reports that its Industrial Automation Group's FPM-3170 17-inch Color SXGA TFT LCD Flat Panel Monitor supports resolutions up to 1,280 x 1,024 pixels, while its multi-scan function supports SXGA, XGA, VGA, and VGA text-mode settings. FPM-3170 provides 250 cd/m2 luminance, and it also has auto-recognition of input signals from VGA, DVI-D, Video and S-Video. The monitor also allows panel, wall, rack, or VESA arm mounting, and is available in touchscreen and non-touchscreen models.

FPM-3170's viewing area enables displays of vivid, sharp images for human-machine interface (HMI) applications, according to Advantech. On-screen display functions also allow users to easily adjust onscreen images.

While most commercial products use corrosive-susceptible metals, FPM-3170's chassis is stainless steel, and the front panel is made of aluminum. Because the exposed front panel is protected from dust and low-pressure water jets from all directions (NEMA4/IP65), FPM-3170 is suitable for harsh commercial and industrial environments. The non-touchscreen version has a tempered glass front protection panel. www.advantech.com
