    Invensys Systems Inc.'s Wonderware business unit has extended its line of industrial computers with two products billed as ideal replacements for proprietary operator panels in a variety of manufacturing and industrial settings.

    The first, Wonderware Box PC, is a solid-state, stand-alone system running Windows XP. It comes pre-installed with the company's ActiveFactory trending and analysis software, ready for "plug-and-play" installation. The second, the Thin Client Computer, is compatible with a variety of displays and comes ready to use out of the box in existing client/server environments, Wonderware said.

    The Box PC is powered by a Pentium M 1.6 GHz processor and comes with 1 GB of RAM and a 40 GB hard drive. It can be connected to an external monitor or touch screen, or can be used as a workstation in a plant for visualization, monitoring, and controlling machines and processes. The Thin Client, which can be used for visualizing, monitoring, and controlling applications, comes with a VIA Eden 667 MHz processor and 128 MB of RAM.
