They are ideal for use in manufacturing and process automation, and can be used with Windows 10/11 (Pro/IoT Enterprise) or Ubuntu Linux as an HMI (human-machine interface) or for system control.
These Intel CPU-based devices can operate in temperatures ranging from -20 to +70 degrees Celsius and can be used even with nitrile gloves thanks to the IP66 PCAP waterproof capacitive front touchscreen, even in humid, dripping, or splashing conditions. With the optional resistive (pressure-sensitive) touchscreen, it's also possible to work with thick gloves, for example, in cold storage rooms.
The PC panels are available in 13 sizes, from 10.1 to 24 inches, with screen brightness levels up to 1500 cd/m2. Variants are available as SVGA and XGA (4:3), widescreen (16:10) and Full HD (16:9), as well as in 5:4 format.
Performance is provided by a current Intel Celeron (“Elkhart Lake”), Core-i3, or Core-i5 CPU and 4 to 32 GB of DDR4L RAM. Fanless PC panels operate 24/7 with up to 10th generation Intel CPUs.
Flexible connectivity is facilitated by HDMI, USB and LAN connections for network access and parallel control of another network, for example a sensor network, as well as optional COM port connections for device control.
The FuturePPC IK series, with its fanless aluminum or stainless steel chassis, offers even greater protection thanks to its IP69K rating. This means the computers are waterproof and dustproof. They are also resistant to rust, shock, and vibration, and feature fully enclosed, waterproof I/O ports made of stainless steel, allowing for optional connections of 1x HDMI, 2x LAN, 2x USB, and 1x COM port. The computers are also available with WLAN and Bluetooth upon request.
The FuturePPC IK series is available with a 12- to 24-inch PCAP or resistive LED touchscreen and up to 1500 cd/m² brightness. Users can choose between an Intel Celeron, Core i3, or Core i5 CPU and 4 to 16 GB of RAM.
FuturePPC's PC panels are not only durable, but also meet high hygiene requirements by withstanding high-pressure, high-temperature washing and acidic cleaning agents. This makes them suitable for use in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries.
