ITA-1611 and ITA-1711 are compact, fanless industrial PCs that Advantech specifically developed to be employed as AFC controllers, automated ticketing systems, and transport terminal self-service systems. Featuring anIntel Celeron quad-core J1900 processor, rich I/O connections, such as COM and dual GbE ports, as well as modularized displays, these compact systems were designed to meet the direct demands of system integrators dealing with mushrooming, 24/7, self-service technologies.

Compared with other fanless box PCs available on the market, ITA-1611 and ITA-1711 offer more I/O ports for linking multiple external sensors, controllers, and displays. ITA-1711 supports 10 COM and 6 USB ports, with a further 4 RS-232 COM ports available upon request. Additionally, all I/O ports are located on the same side for easy access and maintenance, and can accommodate card readers, proximity sensors, ticket printers, gate controllers, assorted switches, and information displays.

Both ITA-1611 and ITA-1711 feature a fanless design, fully sealed enclosure, and high-heat chips in direct contact with an extruded aluminum heat sink. The systems also boast a wide operating temperature range of -25 to 60 °C, enabling them to withstand extreme environments. Onboard DDR3 memory (4GB) is soldered in place to ensure durable mountings that resist oxidation and vibration. The modularized I/O design minimizes internal cabling, which enhances vibration resistance, further increasing reliability.

Tool-free, easily connected CF/SATA DOM modules facilitate data retrieval and future software updates. As mentioned previously, all I/O ports are located on the same side, optimizing the systems for easy access, assembly, and maintenance, which accelerates their time-to-market. These systems accept a DC input range of 9 to 36V, making them compatible with most DC adapters.

Furthermore, ITA-1611 and ITA-1711 support NVRAM, ensuring that data is retained in the event of a sudden power failure. This is an extremely valuable feature for fare collection applications. Considering their specifications, ITA-1611 and ITA-1711 are ideal platforms for automatic ticketing and self-service applications at transport terminals, entertainment hubs, and shopping venues.

ITA-1611 and ITA-1711 support Windows 7 Embedded and Linux, and are equipped with Advantech’s SUSIAccess remote management software utility for convenient management and system protection.

Features:

• Up to 8GB of onboard DDR3 memory and optional NVRAM

• Supports 2 x GbE LAN, 6 x USB, and 10 x COM ports

• Built to be durable for reliable, long-term service

• Easy to install and maintain
