SeaPAC R9-8.4 from Sealevel Systems combines a powerful RISC-based human-machine interface (HMI) with a bright 8.4-in. TFT LCD to create a wide-temperature, ruggedized, flat panel computer perfect for a variety of control and HMI applications. Featuring an industrial, LED backlight that gives the panel extended life over CCFT-backlit panels, the system offers a -30 °C to +70 °C operating temperature range.

Powered by a 200 MIPS ARM9 micro, the system is available with up to 256MB RAM and 256MB Flash memory for maximum performance in embedded systems. Standard I/O includes Ethernet, serial, USB, CAN, and digital interface. For intuitive operator interface, the SeaPAC R9-8.4 includes a resistive touchscreen.

Local or remote I/O expansion is available using Sealevel SeaI/O modules. Choose from a variety of I/O configurations including optically isolated inputs, reed and form C relay outputs, TTL interfaces, A/D, and D/A. The unit connects to SeaI/O modules via the system’s expansion port and communicates using RS-485 Modbus RTU.

To provide the fastest time to market, the Microsoft Windows CE 6.0 BSP binary and low-level drivers for system I/O are included. Additionally, the SeaPAC R9-8.4 software package is equipped with the Sealevel Talos I/O Framework, which offers a high-level object-oriented Microsoft .NET Compact Framework (CF) device interface. This interface provides an I/O point abstraction layer with built-in support for the specific needs of analog and digital I/O, such as gain control and debouncing.
