Arestech PPC-1964 19" Fanless Panel PCs with Intel Celeron J6412 and Front IP54

Supervisory stations, larger operator panels and self-service points need more screen area than a machine HMI, and they often sit in dusty halls or public areas where one unit with the computer built in is simpler to install and maintain. The Arestech PPC-1964 series is built for that job: a family of 19″ fanless panel PCs on the Intel Celeron J6412, with an SECC steel front panel sealed to IP54 and an aluminum back cover.

The Intel Celeron J6412 is an Elkhart Lake processor running at up to 2.60 GHz, with two SO-DIMM sockets for dual-channel DDR4 3200 memory up to 32 GB. It suits HMI runtimes, kiosk software and machine dashboards where low power and steady running matter more than raw processing. Storage is an internal 2.5″ SSD plus an M.2 2280 M-Key socket with PCIe x2 or SATA, firmware TPM is built in, and the operating system can be Windows 11 IoT or Professional, or Linux. Every PPC-1964 has its connections along the bottom edge: two GbE ports on Intel I211-AT controllers, two HDMI 2.0 outputs at up to 4096 x 2160, four USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports and a line-out audio jack. Serial is not fitted as standard; two RS-232/422/485 ports are available as an option where PLCs or serial instruments need connecting. A full-size Mini-PCIe socket with a SIM slot takes an optional 4G LTE or Wi-Fi module.

The PPC-1964 series offers the PPC-1964P with projected capacitive touch, a 7 Mohs surface and 90% transparency for bare-finger use, and the PPC-1964R with 5-wire resistive touch, a 3 Mohs surface and 80% transparency, which typically suits gloves or a stylus. Both carry the same 19 inch SXGA LCD at 1280 x 1024 in 5:4, with 350 nits brightness, a 1000:1 contrast ratio and 170° horizontal and 160° vertical viewing angles. The PPC-1912 series offers the same 19″ screens on the Intel Core i5-1235U, adding 2.5GbE, USB 3.2 Gen 2 and a serial port as standard.

Power is 12 to 36 V DC on a 2-pin terminal block with AT and ATX modes, and an AC adapter is available as an option. The PPC-1964 panel PCs are fanless, operate from -20 °C to 60 °C at 10 to 95% humidity, non-condensing, and are tested to IEC 60068-2-64 at 1.5 Grms vibration and IEC 60068-2-27 at 15 G shock, with CE and FCC Class A marks. They mount on VESA or into a panel cut-out, and Arestech lists HMI, machine-mounted, kiosk and industrial automation applications. We supply each PPC-1964 configured, with Windows 11 IoT or Linux installed, and tested before it ships.
