Arestech PPC-S2164 21.5" Full HD Industrial HMI Panel PCs with Intel Celeron J6412 and Stainless Front IP66/IP69K

Widescreen Full HD HMIs suit dashboards and process overviews, and where the front faces spray or semi-outdoor conditions it needs a sealed, easy-to-clean face. The Arestech PPC-S2164 series answers that with a true flat 304 stainless steel front panel, 316 optional, sealed to IP66 and IP69K, over an SECC steel back cover. These 21.5 inch industrial HMI panel PCs are fanless and mount in a panel cut-out or on VESA 100, so the sealed face meets the washdown and the rear stays behind the panel.

Every PPC-S2164 shares the same build. The Intel Celeron J6412 runs at up to 2.60 GHz and takes two DDR4-3200 SO-DIMMs for up to 32 GB, with firmware TPM. Storage is a 2.5-inch SSD bay plus an M.2 2280 M-Key socket with PCIe x2 or SATA. Two GbE ports on Intel I211-AT controllers, two HDMI 2.0 outputs, four USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports and a line-out sit on the bottom edge, two RS-232/422/485 ports are optional, and a Mini-PCIe socket with a SIM slot takes an optional 4G LTE or Wi-Fi module. Windows 11 IoT or Professional and Linux are supported.

The PPC-S2164 series comes in two touch versions on the same 21.5″ Full HD LCD at 1920 x 1080 (16:9), 250 nits and 5000:1 contrast. The PPC-S2164PW uses projected capacitive touch with a 7 Mohs surface and 90% transparency for light, bare-finger operation. The PPC-S2164RW uses 5-wire resistive touch with a 3 Mohs surface and 80% transparency, which typically suits operators wearing gloves. Both share 178° horizontal and vertical viewing angles and a 30,000-hour backlight MTBF.

Power is 12 to 36 V DC on a two-pin terminal block with AT and ATX modes. The PPC-S2164 panel PCs operate from -20 °C to 60 °C at 10 to 95% humidity, are tested to IEC 60068-2-64 vibration and IEC 60068-2-27 shock, and carry CE and FCC Class A marks, with an optional 12 V, 60 W adapter for mains installs. The IP66/IP69K rating applies at the front, and the stainless face pairs with a steel rear, which suits installs where the back sits inside a cabinet or machine. Typical uses are dashboard and overview HMIs on food and beverage lines and semi-outdoor installations.
