Arestech PPC-1012RW 10.1″ WXGA Resistive Fanless Panel PC with Intel Core i5-1235U and Front IP54

A touch screen fitted to the side of a machine has to fit a tight space and keep running through dust and splashes. For gloved hands or a stylus, pressure-based 5-wire resistive touch is usually the safer choice. The PPC-1012RW is the 5-wire resistive build in the Arestech PPC-1012 series: a 10.1″ fanless panel PC on the Intel Core i5-1235U with a WXGA display and a front panel sealed to IP54.

The 12th Gen Intel Core i5-1235U runs at up to 4.40 GHz (Core i3-1215UE optional) with dual-channel DDR4 3200 up to 64 GB, enough for SCADA clients and HMI runtimes with several windows open. Storage is a 2.5″ SSD plus an M.2 2280 socket with PCIe Gen 4 x4 or SATA. On the PPC-1012RW, the 10.1 inch display is a WXGA LCD at 1280 x 800 in 16:10, with 500 nits brightness, an 800:1 contrast ratio and 170° viewing angles both ways. The 5-wire resistive touch screen has a 3 Mohs surface and 80% transparency.

Two 2.5GbE ports on Intel I226-V controllers keep plant and machine networks apart, alongside two HDMI 2.0 outputs, four USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports and one RS-232/422/485 port, with two more serial ports as an option. A full-size Mini-PCIe socket with a SIM slot and an M.2 E-Key socket take optional 4G LTE and Wi-Fi modules. The PPC-1012PW is the same build with projected capacitive touch, and the PPC-1064RW pairs the same 10.1″ screen with the Intel Celeron J6412 for lighter HMI and kiosk work on a 12 to 36 V input.

Power is 9 to 36 V DC on a 2-pin terminal block with AT and ATX modes. The PPC-1012RW is fanless, runs from -20 °C to 60 °C and is tested to IEC 60068-2-64 vibration and IEC 60068-2-27 shock, with CE and FCC Class A marks. Its SECC steel front panel is rated IP54 against dust and splashing water, and it mounts on VESA or in a panel cut-out. We supply it configured, with Windows 11 IoT or Linux installed, and tested.
