GF-BOX is a highly scalable industrial PC in terms of functions and resources.
In particular the typical functions of a PC architecture have been integrated together with some fun-
ctions specifically created for control applications, in a compact case.
The characteristics of GF-BOX allow for it to be used in numerous industrial applications, from the machine
control unit, to the data centralization system. GF-BOX can also be fitted with a remote display up to 25 m.
GF-BOX is equipped with an Intel™ processor; choices include Pentium Celeron™ 600 MHz, Celeron
Mobile™ 1500 MHz or Pentium Mobile™ 1800 MHz.
The special architecture of the system, based on the ETX standard allows for constant adaptation of the
product to technological development.
All of the processors are of a low voltage and low consumption and do not require specific cooling fans
and allow for GF-BOX to be used even in heavy duty environments.
GF-BOX can be fitted with a solid state mass memory of a DOM type or a 2.5” HD for better configura-
tion according to the application and the operative system used.
Thanks to the complete range of ports available such as Ethernet, USB, serial, parallel, PS/2 etc, GF-BOX
can be located in different peripherals that can now also be found in an industrial field. If optional per-
sonalized interfaces and standard expansion slots PC1, PC104 are added to them, an extremely large
level of connectivity is achieved.
The interfaces available include CAN and expansions for serial lines RS422/485 for Modbus.
Some functional characters such as handling of the keyboard matrix, leds and logical output of the auto-
matic timed switch are typical of the machine control or of industrial lines.
The attention given to construction and mechanics allow the user to carry out easy installation, correct
access to the GF-BOX expansions and correct maintenance of the product itself in order to guarantee
duration and reliability along time.
GF-BOX = internal industrial PC with remote video up to 5 m
