spo-book FLEX J1900 – Flexibility in a robust metal housing

The entire housing of the FLEX J1900 is made of durable metal, which guarantees the smooth functionality of this industrial PC even under adverse external conditions. At the same time, installation and commissioning of the FLEX J1900 is made easier by the mounting bracket included in the scope of delivery. Other safety measures include screwing the power supply unit directly to the system so that an interruption to the power supply can be ruled out. This power supply only has to provide a maximum output of 30 watts to ensure continuous operation of the FLEX J1900, for which the energy-saving components from Intel inside the system are primarily responsible.

Customers of spo-comm can now order the FLEX J1900 with different performance data in order to adapt the performance of the system to their own requirements. In addition to the permanently installed Intel CPU with four cores, the FLEX J1900 can be equipped with up to 8 gigabytes of DDR3 RAM. To store a sufficiently large amount of data, a hard disk of up to 500 gigabytes is available - but this can also be replaced with a faster SSD hard disk with SandForce controller. To ensure a stable data connection even without a network cable, the FLEX J1900 Mini-PC can also be extended with a WLAN module for fast data exchange from mobile devices.

The aforementioned, very robust metal housing is accompanied by low power consumption and a SMART fan. Thanks to these precautions, this industrial PC can be used in an extended temperature range from -10° to 60°C without this extreme temperature gradient affecting performance. The FLEX J1900 also relies on interfaces that have proven themselves in embedded PCs over the years: Seven USB ports, one of which is based on the fast USB 3.0 standard, provide enough space to connect numerous peripheral devices to the system simultaneously. Five COM ports, on the other hand, also allow older hardware to be connected, as is often the case in the industrial sector.

Although Windows 7 and Windows 8 are currently the most widely used operating systems for PCs of all kinds, spo-comm also offers all customers the option of switching to Windows Embedded as the proven operating system for this industrial PC. This step also significantly increases the compatibility and flexibility of the FLEX J1900. However, the system can also be ordered with a pre-installed Linux distribution in order to guarantee the simplest possible use with other systems in a Linux-dominated IT environment. Furthermore, all operating systems are available in 32- or 64-bit versions to ensure seamless compatibility with all software.
