Inhoudsopgave

ARM vs x86 in Industrial Panel PCs

Intel x86-based Panel PCs dominate industrial computing for good reason, Windows compatibility, large software ecosystem, and high processing power. But for applications where power consumption, heat generation, or cost are the primary constraints, ARM-based Panel PCs offer a compelling alternative.

When ARM Is the Right Choice

Battery or UPS-backed installations, ARM platforms consume 5 tot 15W vs 35 tot 65W for x86, dramatically extending battery life
Lightweight HMI applications, Android or Linux-based HMI runtimes run well on ARM processors
IoT display terminals, Node-RED, MQTT dashboards, and web-based SCADA interfaces run efficiently on ARM Linux
Kiosk and information displays, digital signage and self-service interfaces

Avalue ARM Panel PC Specifications

Processor, ARM Cortex-A-series (quad-core or octa-core)
OS, Android or Linux (Ubuntu/Debian)
Display, 7" to 15.6" IPS with PCAP touch
Power, typically 8 tot 18W total system power
I/O, USB, LAN, Wi-Fi, optional 4G LTE

Veelgestelde vragen

ARM-based industrial Panel PCs are used for lightweight HMI applications, IoT display terminals, kiosk interfaces, and operator stations where low power consumption and compact size are priorities over raw computing performance. They run Android or Linux-based HMI software and are well-suited for applications that don't require Windows-based SCADA or MES software.

ARM Panel PCs typically consume 5 tot 15W total system power, compared to 35 tot 65W for equivalent x86 Panel PCs with Intel Core processors. This makes ARM Panel PCs suitable for UPS-backed or battery-powered installations, remote field cabinets with limited power, and energy-conscious deployments where overall plant power consumption is a concern.

No, most Windows-based SCADA software (Ignition, WinCC, InTouch) requires x86 Windows and cannot run on ARM Panel PCs. ARM Panel PCs run Android or Linux, limiting software choices to browser-based SCADA clients, Android HMI apps, or Linux-compatible SCADA runtimes like Inductive Automation's Ignition (Java-based, ARM-compatible). For standard SCADA, choose an x86 Panel PC.

Avalue ARM Panel PCs offer lower purchase price, lower power consumption (important for UPS runtime), fanless operation with simpler thermal design, instant boot capability on Android, and no Windows licensing cost. They are ideal for high-volume deployments where cost per unit matters and the application runs on Android or Linux without requiring Windows-specific software.

Yes, TSL Automation Solutions supplies Avalue ARM-based Panel PCs alongside x86 Panel PC options, allowing customers to choose the right platform for their application.
