Arestech PPC-Z1964 19" Stainless Steel Panel PCs with Intel Celeron J6412 and IP66/IP69K

A larger screen gives line-side operators in food processing and animal feed production room for a full mimic of the process, on a unit that is washed down with the line. The Arestech PPC-Z1964 series is built for that routine: 19 inch stainless steel panel PCs in SUS304 stainless steel, with SUS316L as an option, a flat front that is easy to clean and full-system IP66/IP69K sealing, with every external connection on an M12 connector.

Every PPC-Z1964 panel PC shares the same build. The Intel Celeron J6412 runs at up to 2.6 GHz on dual-channel DDR4 3200 for up to 32 GB, with an internal SSD bay and an M.2 2280 M-Key socket with PCIe x2 or SATA, which is usually plenty for a single HMI or monitoring application. Networking is two GbE ports on Intel I210-AT controllers, alongside two RS-232/422/485 ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 1 port and two USB 2.0 ports, all on M12 connectors. The 19″ SXGA display runs at 1280 x 1024 (5:4) with 350 nits, 1000:1 contrast and 170° horizontal and 160° vertical viewing angles.

The PPC-Z1964 series offers two touch options. The PPC-Z1964P has projected capacitive touch with a 7 Mohs surface and 90% transparency, which wipes clean easily, and the PPC-Z1964R has 5-wire resistive touch, which responds to pressure and so usually works through gloves. For the same 19 inch screen and sealing on the Core i5-1235U, see the PPC-Z1912 series. Both touch versions share the same flat stainless front, so the choice usually comes down to whether operators wear gloves at the screen.

Power is 12 to 36 V DC on an M12 connector with AT and ATX modes, with an optional Super Cap UPS. The PPC-Z1964 panel PCs operate from -10 °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. They run Windows 11 IoT or Professional or Linux, mount on VESA, a yoke or a wall with optional kits, and take optional wireless modules in a Mini-PCIe socket with a SIM slot. Arestech names food and beverage processing, animal feed production, pharmaceutical equipment, chemical and hospitality environments among the applications for the family.
