Overview
Compact, High-Performance Front Panels
The SIM552 features a big 7.0" 800x480 color LCD powered by the Renesas RZ/A1L MPU with a 400MHz Cortex A9 core. Utilizing our proprietary SHIPEngine, the SIM552 delivers a large array of options for front panel applications with industrial and commercial applications.
Featuring built-in RS485/UART and high-speed USB connectivity, the SIMx52 family is easily integrated into existing system designs. The 30-pin expansion connector provides further expandabilty to custom daughtercards or off-the-shelf Serious Communications/Control Modules for extentensive connectivity (including WiFi, Bluetooth, Etherent, RSxxx, CAN, and more) as well as powerful system control.
Explore these options compared to the SIM552:
- SIM552 for similar capabilities in an more compact 4.3" form factor
- SIM562 for higher performance, including video playback
- SIM862 for higher performance, including video playback, with a big, bold 10.1" LCD
