With Polaris, Bartec (Germany) has launched a panel PC series with wireless communication which offers the familiar PC comfort in Ex areas. All Polaris devices have been developed for applications in zone 1 + 2 as well as in zone 21 + 22.
TFT colour graphic displays are available in six different sizes. The small 5.7“ displays are perfectly suited as “human - machine interface“ to control simple machines such as mixers, dryers or fuelling stations. The medium-sized graphic displays with 10.4“ are ideal for the operation of more complex machines or simple systems such as reactors, centrifuges or ball mills. By means of the 15“ and 19“ devices, complex systems such as the production of pharmaceutical substances can be controlled and operated.
At the recent Interkama 2008, Bartec presented some further, innovative developments of the Polaris panel PCs 10.4“ and 12.1“. Based on Windows XP Embedded, the functional scope of these devices has been extended: as a standard, they now support a remote-desktop connection for controlling a remote computer via Ethernet. The Microsoft Internet Explorer for the presentation of HTML pages is available on the devices. Besides, the enhanced devices allow to use the new BMS-Graf runtime for Windows XP. New functions in BMS-Graf-pro, e.g. the transmission of projects via Ethernet, the utilization of graphic lists or an integrated user management have also been integrated.
