Phoenix Contact introduces their VL2 1000 industrial PCs, equipped with Intel® Atom™ Bay Trail processors for fast processing time in simple applications.

These entry-level box and panel IPCs feature an optional CAN interface, screen sizes from 7 to 21.5 inches, and easy customization.

The VL2 1000 includes the VL2’s award-winning display in smaller sizes (7-, 9-, and 12.1-inch screens), as well as the 15.6-, 18.5-, and 21.5-inch-sized displays available in other VL2 models.
