Full description

Technical Features

Hazardous Area Certification: Certified for ATEX/IECEx Zone 2 (gas) and Zone 22 (dust) environments, featuring high-quality aluminum housing and safety-rated sealing for explosion-proof applications.
Fanless & Solid-State Construction: Zero rotating components using passive cooling and CFast solid-state media or optional 2.5-inch SSDs, maximizing mean time between failures (MTBF) under high vibration.
Energy-Efficient Processing: Equipped with single-, dual-, or quad-core Intel Atom® processors (E38xx or x6000 Series) on an integrated 3½-inch motherboard.
Dual Independent Gigabit Ethernet: Includes 2 x 100/1000BASE-T RJ45 interfaces on-board (with option for a third Ethernet port) to physically separate fieldbus networks (EtherCAT) from corporate IT systems.
Capacitive Multi-Touch Glass Panel: Features responsive multi-finger touch operation behind a durable glass front rated IP65 on the front face.
Rear-Accessible Maintenance: System clock lithium battery and CFast card storage slots are directly accessible from the rear without full disassembly.

Applications

Oil & Gas / Petrochemical Processing: Control cabinet front panel mounting in refining, off-shore, or gas compression sites classified as Zone 2/22.
Chemical & Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Ideal for batch control and process visualization where flammable vapors, gases, or combustible dusts are present.
Food & Grain Processing Facilities: Suitable for hazardous dust environments (Zone 22) such as flour mills, powder handling, and agricultural processing plants.
Centralized EtherCAT Machine Control: Functions as an all-in-one industrial controller and HMI running TwinCAT automation software.

Buyer Guidance

Verify Explosion Protection Zone: Ensure operational requirements match Zone 2 / Zone 22 classifications (not intended for Zone 1 / Zone 21 applications).
Select Screen Size & Format: Choose between 15-inch (1024x768), 19-inch (1280x1024), or 21.5-inch Full HD (1920x1080) displays based on control cabinet dimensions and layout.
Match TwinCAT Performance Level: Select processor option (1-core, 2-core, or 4-core Intel Atom®) corresponding to required TwinCAT 2 / TwinCAT 3 platform levels (TC3: 40 or TC3: 50).
Specify Storage & Connectivity Options: Determine if standard CFast storage is sufficient or if optional 2.5-inch SSDs and a 3rd Ethernet port are required for complex plant integration.
