What is a panel PC in an operator and control enclosure?
A panel PC in an operator and control enclosure combines an industrial PC, display, and touchscreen in a robust, integrated solution. The system is installed in an enclosure made of powder-coated aluminum profiles and provides IP65 protection on all sides, including the interfaces.
What are the advantages of combining a panel PC with an operator and control enclosure?
This combination enables high-performance computing to be used even under demanding industrial conditions. The hardware, display, connections, and user interface are reliably protected. At the same time, flexible mounting options and internal cable routing enable easy integration into machines and systems.
What applications are panel PCs in operator and control enclosures suitable for?
Typical applications include machine control and visualization, HMI applications, production lines, control rooms, and operator and control stations in industrial automation.
What is the difference between a panel PC and an industrial monitor?
A panel PC has integrated computing hardware and can run applications directly. An industrial monitor, by contrast, has no integrated computing hardware and is used for display and operation. It is connected to an external industrial PC or controller.
What IP protection rating do panel PCs in operator and control enclosures provide?
The enclosures provide IP65 protection on all sides, including the interfaces. This means that the integrated hardware and display are dust-tight and protected against water jets.
Are custom configurations available?
Yes. Depending on the application, the enclosure, hardware configuration, and system integration can be customized to meet specific requirements.
