Arestech PPC-Z197R-B62A2 19″ 5-Wire Resistive Stainless Steel Panel PC with Intel Core i3-7100U and IP66/IP69K

On many hygienic lines operators wear gloves for the whole shift, and the computer behind the screen is hosed down with the line at the end of it. The PPC-Z197R-B62A2 is the 5-wire resistive configuration on the Intel Core i3-7100U in the Arestech PPC-Z197 series: a 19 inch fanless stainless steel panel PC in 316 grade stainless steel with a completely flat front, sealed to IP66 and IP69K as a whole unit.

The Intel Core i3-7100U is a dual-core processor running at up to 2.4 GHz, with two DDR4-2133 SO-DIMM sockets for up to 32 GB and an M.2 2280 socket with PCIe x4 or SATA, which suits SCADA and MES clients, batch records and HMI software with several windows open, with operating system support for Windows 10 IoT or Professional and Linux. The display is a 350 nit SXGA LCD at 1280 x 1024 with a 1000:1 contrast ratio and 170° horizontal and 160° vertical viewing angles. The 5-wire resistive touch screen responds to pressure, so it works with gloved hands, and is rated for 36 million touches.

Every external connection is sealed: two GbE ports on Intel i219V and i211AT controllers, two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 ports and one RS-232 and one RS-232/422/485 port on M12 connectors. A full-size Mini-PCIe socket with a SIM slot and an M.2 2230 E-key socket for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth take optional 4G and Wi-Fi modules with IP66 antennas. The PPC-Z197P-B62A2 is the same build with projected capacitive touch, and the PPC-Z197R-B61A2 offers the Intel Core i5-7200U.

Power is 9 to 36 V DC on an M12 connector with AT and ATX modes. The PPC-Z197R-B62A2 is fanless, operates from -20 °C to 60 °C at 5 to 95% humidity with extended-temperature memory and storage fitted, and is shock-tested to 20 G under IEC 60068-2-27, with CE and FCC Class A marks. It measures 499 x 420 x 66.9 mm, weighs 10 kg and mounts on 75 x 75, 100 x 100 and 200 x 100 mm VESA, a yoke or a wall mount.
