The new VPC-1800 Series of factory automation (FA) industrial computers can carry out 24/7 operations, such as control of essential equipment or on manufacturing sites, and is the latest model in the VPC Series, which has been one of our customers’ preferred choices since its launch in 2009.
The Intel® Q670 chipset with fast, reliable DDR5 memory provides advanced computing and graphical performance.
While keeping the same external shape and compatibility as the previous VPC-1700 Series in addition to functional aspects such as support for three PCI cards, the VPC-1800 Series offers 2.8 times*3 higher processing speed to better support edge computing environments requiring advanced image processing and high-speed control.

This new series also offers improved maintainability with a new POST code indicator for easily checking the status of the PC. The screwless detachable front cover also enables easy access from the front of the unit to components with finite lifespans such as storage devices, cooling fans, and dust filters, making replacement easy and further improving the ease of maintenance.

This new series also comes equipped with a rich set of hardware RAS functions such as watchdog timer, remote reset, hardware monitor, and general-purpose digital I/O for enhanced reliability, and a hot-swappable mirroring (RAID1) configuration can also be selected for 24-hour continuous operation.

Available as BTO (built-to-order) models, the VPC-1800 Series allows customers to select the CPU, memory capacity, and other components to best suit the application of each computer. Contec also plans to provide an aftercare on-site maintenance service (for a fee) that includes replacement of defective components for up to seven years.^*4
