Outstanding Performance in Compact and Maintenance free Design

ThinkIO-Duo/-Solo achieves exceptional performance in an
ultra compact unit. The Industrial PC for DIN rail mounting
combines Intel® Core™ Duo/Solo performance and standard
PC connectivity with a rugged design, which is also
suitable for harsh environmental applications.
Two independent processor cores allow for parallel
computing. Therefore ThinkIO-Duo meets the requirements for demanding control and visualization tasks as well as web
server and firewall applications.
The system is designed to decrease the total cost of
ownership for OEMs through a very reliable architecture.
The completely integrated platform significantly reduces
time to market, allowing customers to focus on software
development and system integration.
