Industrial Equipment Touch Screen Computer

Industrial equipment touch screen computer, also known as industrial panel computer (Panel PC) or industrial control all-in-one machine, is an integrated device designed for industrial environment, integrating computing, display and touch interaction functions. Its core orientation is human-computer interaction interface as an industrial site. (HMI) provides stable and accurate operation and monitoring capability with edge control terminal in complex production environment.

Core feature: born for industry

The design of industrial equipment touch screen computer is different from that of commercial computer, and its main characteristics include reliability, durability and environmental adaptability:

Durability and high protection: The fanless passive cooling design is widely used, eliminating the fan, which is a wearing part with higher reliability. The protection level of the front panel generally reaches IP65 or higher, which can effectively resist dust, oil mist and water splash, and adapt to the harsh environment of food industry, chemical industry, etc. Some applications in the food and drug industry even need IP69K grade, which can withstand high pressure and high temperature cleaning.

Wide temperature operation and wide pressure input: the temperature range generally covers -20 ° C to 60 ° C, which can adapt to the scenarios with large temperature difference in workshops, outdoor cabinets, etc. The power supply supports wide voltage input (such as 9~30V DC) and has reverse connection protection to meet the unstable power supply environment of industrial field-2.

Industrial interface and expansion: multiple RS-232/485 serial ports, dual gigabit network ports and USB interfaces are configured as standard, facilitating direct connection of PLC and field equipment, such as sensors, scanning guns, etc. Some models also provide CAN bus and EtherCAT waiting for the support of instant industrial protocol, or reserve I/O expansion slots for system integration -1-12-22.

Touch and display optimization: the screen brightness is usually above 300 cd/m ², and the visibility is guaranteed by 500 cd/m ² or more in strong light environment. The touch screen is mostly capacitive, supporting multi-point touch and glove operation, and its surface hardness can reach Mohs.  7H， Be able to withstand frequent click operations on the production line -1-27.

Typical application field: go deep into the front line of the industry

The application of industrial equipment touch screen computer has penetrated into all walks of life, becoming the key hardware for intelligent manufacturing and digital transformation.

Intelligent manufacturing and factory automation

It is its core application field. The production line terminal of MES (Manufacturing Execution System) is used for process allocation, report, electronic SOP display and real-time data upload. At the same time, it is also used as the device HMI, the direct control of the laser engraving machine, the unmanned carrier vehicle (AGV) waiting for automatic machinery, and for monitoring the working status and parameter configuration. -22-

Food industry and pharmaceutical industry

These industries have high requirements for sanitation and cleaning, so stainless steel shells are often used, and the protection level reaches 66/IP69K. In order to withstand frequent cleaning and disinfection, special models are used. The equipment shall be suitable for glove operation and can operate stably in a sterile or clean environment for process monitoring, formula management and batch number tracing. -
