Winmate W18IAD3S-RKA1 18.5″ Rack Mount Panel PC with Intel Alder Lake Core i5-1235U and Resistive Touch

Control rooms, test racks and equipment cabinets often need a screen and computer built into the rack rather than a separate unit on a desk. The W18IAD3S-RKA1 is Winmate’s 18.5 inch rack mount panel PC for that role, with a 12th Gen Intel Core i5-1235U and a 350 nit 1920 x 1080 display with 1000:1 contrast.

The Core i5-1235U runs at up to 4.4 GHz with one DDR5-4800 SO-DIMM socket, 8 GB as standard and 16 or 32 GB as options, which typically leaves the W18IAD3S-RKA1 room for HMI software and a SCADA client. Storage is a 128 GB NVMe SSD as standard on an M.2 2280 M-key slot, with options to 4 TB and an optional 2.5″ SATA III drive. TPM 2.0 is on board, with Windows 11 IoT Enterprise, Windows 11 Pro or Linux Ubuntu 22.04. Resistive touch is optional, as is protection glass without touch.

Connections include two 2.5GbE ports on Intel controllers, two USB 3.2 Gen 2×1 Type-A ports, one RS-232/422/485 and one RS-232 port for PLCs, scanners and serial instruments, and two speakers. HDMI 2.0 is optional, and an M.2 E-key slot takes optional Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Within the Winmate range the W18IT3S-RKA1 is the earlier 18.5 inch rack mount model with an 11th Gen Intel Core i5-1135G7, and the W18IAD3S-MLA3FP is the 18.5 inch defence panel PC for defence consoles.

Power is 12 V DC on a barrel jack, with a 120 W AC adapter supplied. The fanless metal housing runs from 0 to 50 °C in non-condensing humidity, which suits indoor cabinets and control rooms. The unit is built for rack mounting, with VESA screws also supplied. It carries CE and FCC marks. We supply the W18IAD3S-RKA1 configured, with the OS installed, and tested before dispatch.
