DC18 DISPLAY COMPUTER, DUAGON
A RUGGED SOLUTION FOR ONE OF THE WORLD’S HARSHEST ENVIRONMENTS
In the open seas, miles from home, work on offshore oil platforms is perhaps one of the world’s most challenging jobs.
The equipment in use must fulfil strict safety standards and be highly reliable, which depends on power delivery of the
highest standard. After all, there is no quick way to acquire a replacement should a unit fail in the field.
The ultra-robust DC18 Display Computer from duagon targets the oil industry, providing IoT-linked data management and
analysis via its 12.1” display. With a robust projective capacitive touch screen and an IP66 housing, it is suitable for both
indoor and outdoor applications in Class I Division 2 and Zone 2 hazardous environments.
“To ensure high reliability it was decided during the initial design phase to implement a power supply specifically tailored
to the needs of the DC18,” said Bryan Miller, Product Solution Manager. “The Traco Power team provided us with an
exceptionally dependable power supply that can withstand extreme vibrations, shocks and temperature variations.
Furthermore, special attention had to be paid to electromagnetic compatibility to ensure proper operation of the
rugged touch screen. The technical insights we received together with proactive support were an essential
element in the successful launch and roll-out of our product.”
