Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Panel PC

Definition
A Panel PC is a ruggedized computing device that combines a display screen, processing unit, and input interfaces into a single integrated unit. It features industrial-grade components with enhanced durability, wide temperature tolerance, and resistance to dust, moisture, and vibration. Designed primarily for industrial automation, process control, and human-machine interface (HMI) applications, it provides reliable computing power in manufacturing, logistics, and other demanding environments where standard computers would fail. The device typically uses an aluminum alloy or stainless steel chassis, a tempered glass front, and industrial-grade plastics for internal components. Screen sizes range from 10.1 to 21.5 inches, with resolutions from 1280×800 to 1920×1080 pixels. Processors may include Intel Celeron or Core i3/i5/i7, with RAM from 4 to 32 GB and storage from 64 to 512 GB. Operating temperature ranges from -20 to 60°C, and ingress protection ratings from IP54 to IP65. Touch technology can be resistive or capacitive, with brightness from 300 to 1000 cd/m². Power supply is typically 24 V DC ±10%, and weight ranges from 2 to 10 kg. Mounting options include panel mount, VESA, and rack mount. These specifications are reference ranges; actual values must be confirmed with the manufacturer for each model. The Panel PC is not a consumer product but a specialized tool for industrial environments, where reliability and longevity are critical. It is often used in control rooms, production lines, and outdoor kiosks. When selecting a Panel PC, consider the specific environmental conditions, required processing power, and communication protocols. Always verify model-specific parameters and standards with the legal manufacturer or supplier before procurement.
Working Principle
The Panel PC operates by integrating a display panel (typically LCD or touchscreen) with an embedded computer system. The central processing unit (CPU) executes software applications and processes data from connected sensors, controllers, or networks. Input is received via touchscreen, physical buttons, or peripheral devices. Processed information is displayed on the integrated screen, while output signals control external machinery or systems through industrial communication protocols like Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, or Modbus. The device is designed to operate reliably in harsh conditions, with components rated for wide temperature ranges and protection against dust and water. The touchscreen allows direct interaction, and the system can be mounted in various ways to suit the installation environment. The working principle is straightforward: it is a computer with a built-in display, optimized for industrial use.
