Choosing an ideal Industrial HMI Panel PC

The Industrial Panel PC is an advanced computing HMI device specifically designed to deliver exceptional performance and reliability in harsh industrial environments. It is equipped with a capacitive or resistive touchscreen, allowing operators to easily operate the device through intuitive gestures like tapping, zooming, and scrolling. With its advanced multitouch technology, rugged construction, and customizable options, it is widly used in varous of industrial & intelligent applications, including automation, control, factory, and monitoring.

But how can you be sure that your chosen touch Panel computer will be perfect in your industrial projects?

Taicenn is now introducing our flagship modular HMI Panel PC series TPC-DCT/DRT D series, and expect to create more value for you.

 

Performance

Taicenn offers a wide range of Intel® processing CPU platforms in modular Panel PC series, from efficient Celeron to powerful computing Core™ i3/i5/i7 CPUs.

Some lower computing CPU Platforms (Like J3455, J6412, N97) can be perfect for tasks with a low power draw like control, web panel; but for edge computing and processing, you’ll need stronger performance.

Taicenn TPC-DCT/DRT D series adapt Intel Alder Lake -U 12th Gen. Core i3/i5/i7 CPU processors, bring more cores for faster computing processing and Intel UHD/Iris Xe Graphic for images processing.

 

Memory & Storage

One of the benefits of memory and storage is the speed saved by managing all data on-premises. This necessitates big memory and mass storage on your device.

Taicenn TPC-DCT/DRT D series memory design with 2* SO-DIMM, support DDR5-4800Mhz, max up to 64GB capacity; And its storage support 1* M.2 2280 M-key (PCIe x4 Gen IV, NVMe) slot SSD, 1* M.2 2280 M-key (NVMe/SATA, auto-detect) slot SSD, plus 1* SATA 3.0 slot SSD. These 3 storage slots optional support RAID function.

I/O Interfaces

For the steadiest and fastest connection, hardwired connections far outclass wireless ones. To accommodate multiple peripherals, an ideal HMI Panel PC device needs a high quantity and wide variety of I/O.

The TPC-DCT/DRT D series offers abundant I/O interfaces, including 2* RJ45 (1* 2.5GbE), 2* USB3.1, 2* USB3.0, 1* USB-C (USB3.1 & DP1.4), 2* RS232/RS485/RS422 (BIOS configurable), 1* RS232 (optional GPIO), 1* SW remote switch, 1* HDMI, 1* DP, Audio, can meet different interface requirements and help information transmission more smoothly.

Look for remote switch and COM ports for your touch Panel PCs, as well as GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) for maximum versatility.

 

Full dimensions and touchscreen

To select a suitable sized screen is extreme important for the operator who using the devices on site. Big dimension or small size, Widescreen LCDs or not, High resolution or standard resolution, Capacitive or resistive touchscreen, these factors is senstive to the site operators.

Taicenn TPC-DCT/DRT D series offers full inventory from 10.1” to 23.3” dimensions, and both Pcap. touch & resistive touch at a same cut-out dimension. It makes the decision-maker easliy to have an answer.

 

Wireless and expansion conectivity

Across a large application, it may not be possible to hardwire every device to your Panel PC. Wireless connection is needed for data transmittion. This connection can be Wi-Fi, 4G/5G, Bluetooth, or a combination of them. Even if the application doesn’t require wireless connectivity, ensuring your Panel PC has the flexible capability makes for a future-proof solution.

Taicenn TPC-DCT/DRT D series panel PC design with 3* high speed expansion modules slots: 1* M.2 3042/3052 B-key & 1* M.2 2230 E-Key slots, 1* SIM card slot and 1* Mini-PCIe slot to support 3G/4G/5G, Wi-Fi/BT, Wi-Fi 6 wireless network. Its flexible expansion slots provide unlimited possibility for industrial modules expansion too.

Mount and environment

Some industrial applications require hardware with specialized protective enclosures or fanless cooling solutions. A passively-cooled fanless device resists dust and water ingress, and high stregnth metal structure enclosures can resist water up to a front IP66 rating in case of panel mounting. To improve the experience of human-machine interaction and the many benefits it brings in these challenging environments, the right panel PCs needs to be built to last.

Taicenn TPC-DCT/DRT D series supports Panel mount and VESA mount options. Its rugged housing design carries out front IP66 rating and fanless, to ensure the stable operation in industrial enviroment.
