PPC-Z1512PW Overview
On food and beverage lines, a built-in card reader can show who changed a setting, and it is easier to clean than one bolted beside the HMI. The PPC-Z1512PW is the projected capacitive build in the Arestech PPC-Z1512PW/RW series: a 15.6 inch stainless steel panel PC sealed to IP66 and IP69K as a whole system, with a flat front and 7 Mohs PCAP glass that wipes clean.
The Intel Core i5-1235U runs at up to 4.4 GHz, with the Core i5-1335U as an option, on dual-channel DDR4 3200 across two SO-DIMM sockets for up to 64 GB. Operating system support covers Windows 11 IoT or Professional and Linux. Storage is an internal SSD bay with SATA RAID 0/1 plus an M.2 2280 M-Key socket with PCIe Gen 4 x4 or SATA, with firmware TPM and an optional TPM 2.0 module. The 15.6″ Full HD display runs at 1920 x 1080 (16:9) with 450 nits, 800:1 contrast and 170° horizontal and vertical viewing angles.
Every external connection is on a sealed M12 connector: two 2.5GbE ports on Intel I226-V controllers, two RS-232/422/485 ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 port and two USB 2.0 ports. A front IP67 USB 3.2 Gen 2 port takes a memory stick. A built-in 13.56 MHz RFID reader reads Mifare and FeliCa card UIDs, which suits card-based operator log-in. A full-size Mini-PCIe socket with a SIM slot and an M.2 2230 E-Key socket take optional wireless modules. The PPC-Z1512RW is the same build with 5-wire resistive touch, and the PPC-Z1564PW pairs the same screen and sealing with the Celeron J6412 for lighter workloads.
Power is 9 to 36 V DC on M12 with AT and ATX modes, plus an optional Super Cap UPS. The PPC-Z1512PW runs from -10 °C to 60 °C at 10 to 95% humidity, is tested to IEC 60068-2-64 vibration and 15 G IEC 60068-2-27 shock, and carries CE and FCC Class A marks. SUS316L is optional, and VESA, yoke and wall mounts use optional kits. We supply it configured, with the OS installed, and tested before it ships.

Official Arestech UK Distributor
Things Embedded is an official Arestech UK distributor, supplying the PPC-Z1512PW configured for UK food and beverage lines. Within the Arestech range the PPC-Z1564PW/RW series offers the same 15.6 inch full stainless build on the Celeron J6412, and the PPC-Z1512 series is the same full stainless build with a 15 inch XGA screen.
With projected capacitive touch the PPC-Z1512PW sits among our stainless steel HMIs, our IP69K washdown HMIs and our projected capacitive HMIs. Where a 15.6 inch HMI is hosed down with the line and needs Core i5-1235U compute behind it, this is the PPC-Z1512PW/RW configuration to specify.
