The STC series of industrial panel computers is available in three sizes with 10.4", 12.1" and 15" touchscreen displays. These panel PCs are available with either x86 (STC-1005/1205/1505) and ARM (STC-1006/1206/1506) CPUs and support Windows (STC-1005/1205/1505) and Linux(STC-1006/1206/1506) operating systems to meet specific end-user application requirements. Unlike conventional panel computers, ADLINK STCs leverage the SMARC computer-on-module design concept to simplify the process of implementing different solutions to meet specific requirements with one uniform platform. STCs are equipped with standard I/O ports and also feature a proprietary expansion slot allowing customization for specific application requirements.
Factory Automation Process and Control Monitoring System
Factory automation process control systems are mainly employed in manufacturing operations that convert highly variable raw materials into finished goods with consistent quality. Process manufacturers require a high degree of automation, monitoring and advanced controls to make sure all processes run smoothly. A rugged, reliable and easy-to-use panel computer able to withstand harsh factory environments is needed on the shopfloor to allow manufacturing operators to properly monitor each process step and properly control all the process parameters in a clear and efficient manner.
ADLINK?s Smart Touch Computers are ideal terminals for use in factory automation process monitoring and control. STCs feature an IP65-rated front panel design to withstand the dust and spray caused by the production process, as well as a wide operating temperature range of -0 °C to 60 °C to ensure the stability and reliability. For connection to shopfloor devices and equipments, STCs are equipped with one mPCIe slot and one proprietary expansion slot for additional PCIe extension to PLC or other control and monitoring field devices. With the STC connected to control system, manufacturing operators can check and change parameters for Multiple CPU architecture support on one uniform platform different field devices to control and optimize the production process from one convenient location..
Why STC:
- 5-wire resistive or projected capacitive touch
with IP65-rated front bezel for water and dust protection
- Multiple OS support (Windows & Linux) provides flexibility for implementing factory automation software
- Mini PCIe expansion slot for easy system expansion to connect to field devices
- Wider temperature support (0 °C to 60 °C) for reliable operation
