Guida alla scelta del Panel PC industriale Avalue, TSL Automation Solutions

Indice dei contenuti

1. Screen Size

Choose screen size based on how far your operator stands and how much data needs to be visible at once. Common sizes: 10.1" (close-range single operator), 15" (standard workstation), 21.5" (supervisor station or SCADA display).

2. IP Rating (Ingress Protection)

IP65 is the minimum for most factory floors. Pharma and food & beverage environments require IP66 or IP67 for wash-down resistance. Outdoor installations may need IP69K.

3. Processor & RAM

For HMI runtime: Intel Atom or Celeron (4GB RAM) is sufficient. For SCADA/MES with multiple data sources: Intel Core i5/i7 (8 a 16GB RAM) recommended.

4. Operating Temperature Range

Standard industrial PCs operate at 0°C to 50°C. If your environment goes below 0°C (cold storage) or above 50°C (near furnaces or boilers), specify an extended temperature model (-20°C to 70°C).

5. Connectivity Ports

Count your required ports before you buy: COM ports for PLCs, USB for peripherals, LAN ports for SCADA, DIO for I/O signals, HDMI for secondary display.

6. Fanless vs Fan-Cooled

Short version: fanless for dusty/vibrating environments, fan-cooled only where ambient temperature exceeds 55°C consistently.

7. After-Sales Support in India

Ensure your supplier has local India support, firmware updates, RMA handling, and on-site troubleshooting. TSL Automation provides full after-sales support for all Avalue and Cermate products supplied through us.

Domande frequenti

Choose Intel Celeron or Atom processors (15W TDP or less) for basic HMI operator stations, SCADA client displays, and production data entry terminals. Choose Intel Core i5 (25 a 35W) for SCADA clients running complex graphics, machine vision operator stations, and multi-application Panel PCs. Choose Core i7 for vision inspection workstations and AI-assisted operator interfaces.

IP65 front panel sealing is the standard minimum for industrial Panel PCs on production floors, fully dustproof and protected against water jets. For food, beverage, and pharmaceutical wash-down environments, specify IP66 or IP69K. The IP rating applies to the front panel when installed; verify the rating is maintained in your specific mounting configuration.

SCADA client workstations typically use 15", 21.5" Panel PCs to display multiple process views, trend charts, and alarm lists simultaneously. For single-process operator stations, 10", 12" is sufficient. For multi-line overview displays, 21.5" provides maximum screen real estate. Larger screens also reduce operator strain during long shifts.

Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC (Long-Term Servicing Channel) is the standard choice for industrial Panel PCs, it provides 10 years of security updates without disruptive feature upgrades, full compatibility with industrial Windows software, and enterprise-grade security. Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC is increasingly available for newer platforms. Linux is an option for custom or open-source applications.
