PPC-2164RW Overview
Kiosks, self-service terminals and production dashboards need a Full HD screen that people can read from a step back. For gloved hands or a stylus, pressure-based 5-wire resistive touch is usually the safer choice. The PPC-2164RW is the 5-wire resistive build in the Arestech PPC-2164 series: a 21.5″ fanless panel PC on the Intel Celeron J6412 with a Full HD display and a front panel sealed to IP54.
The Intel Celeron J6412 runs at up to 2.60 GHz with dual-channel DDR4 3200 up to 32 GB, which suits HMI runtimes, kiosk software and dashboards where low power matters more than raw processing. Storage is a 2.5″ SSD plus an M.2 2280 socket with PCIe x2 or SATA. On the PPC-2164RW, the 21.5 inch display is a Full HD LCD at 1920 x 1080 in 16:9, with 250 nits brightness, a 5000:1 contrast ratio and 178° viewing angles. The 5-wire resistive touch screen has a 3 Mohs surface and 80% transparency.
Two GbE ports on Intel I211-AT controllers sit alongside two HDMI 2.0 outputs, four USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports and line-out audio. Serial is optional, with two RS-232/422/485 ports available for PLCs or instruments, and a full-size Mini-PCIe socket with a SIM slot takes an optional 4G LTE or Wi-Fi module. The PPC-2164PW is the same build with projected capacitive touch, and the PPC-2112RW pairs the same 21.5″ screen with the Intel Core i5-1235U, adding 2.5GbE, USB 3.2 Gen 2 and a serial port as standard. The TPM-3221PW-A4 is the 21.5″ front IP54 touch monitor for a computer in a remote cabinet.
Power is 12 to 36 V DC on a 2-pin terminal block with AT and ATX modes. The PPC-2164RW 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.

Official Arestech UK Distributor
Things Embedded is an official Arestech UK distributor, supplying the PPC-2164RW configured, with the operating system installed, and tested for UK automation and HMI projects. Within the Arestech range the PPC-2112 series is the same 21.5 inch range on the Core i5-1235U with 2.5GbE and a standard serial port, and the PPC-1964 series uses a 19 inch 5:4 screen where a squarer layout suits the software.
With resistive touch the PPC-2164RW sits among our 21.5 inch HMIs, our resistive touch computers and our panel-mount HMIs. Where self-service, kiosk and dashboard screens need pressure-based resistive touch for gloved hands and low-power Celeron J6412 compute with line-out audio behind a front IP54 bezel, this is the PPC-2164 configuration to specify.
