►Machine Quality Control
Why Memory Testing Is Critical Before Shipping Industrial PCs
Would you like to know how to choose the right industrial PC, including factors such as display size, mounting method, and front-panel waterproof rating? These considerations are especially important in hygiene-critical industries such as food & beverage and chemical processing, where frequent cleaning and disinfectants can gradually corrode aluminum front panels.
To meet these requirements, our solutions include not only stainless steel enclosures but also anti-corrosion surface treatments for aluminum front panels. In many cases, success or failure depends on attention to detail. Our team is well aware of these potential pitfalls and understands which aspects require special attention. We are committed to helping you select the most suitable Panel PC for your application.
►FAQ
Q: What is the EPC-S17X2A series used for?
A: The EPC-S17X2A is a 17-inch fanless industrial Panel PC series used for SCADA supervisory control stations, multi-parameter process monitoring terminals, energy management dashboards, CNC multi-axis control interfaces, and large-format HMI displays in manufacturing, power generation, and water treatment facilities. Its 1280×1024 resolution provides more screen real estate than 15-inch models, allowing operators to monitor more process variables simultaneously on a single display.
Q: What is the panel cutout size for the EPC-S17X2A?
A: The panel cutout size for embedded installation is 374.6 × 312.6 mm. Overall unit dimensions are 397.0 × 321.0 × 75.1 mm, and the unit weighs 5.2 kg. Wall-mount and VESA mount options are also supported.
Q: How does the 17-inch EPC-S17X2A compare to the 15-inch EPC-S15X2A?
A: Both series share the same processor options, IP65 front panel, BlockCore™ architecture, SafeCore™ protection, and 9–36V DC power input. The key differences are display size and resolution: the EPC-S17X2A offers a 17-inch, 1280×1024 display (more pixels, more screen area) versus the EPC-S15X2A’s 15-inch, 1024×768. The 17-inch model is recommended when operators need to display complex process schematics, multi-loop PID dashboards, or multi-window SCADA screens. The 15-inch model is better suited for space-constrained cabinets or single-loop HMI applications.
Q: How many serial ports does the EPC-S17X2A have?
A: The EPC-S17X2A includes 4× RS-232 and 2× RS-485 serial ports via DB9 connectors — six serial interfaces in total. This matches the EPC-S15X2A serial port count and supports simultaneous connections to multiple PLCs, weighing systems, barcode readers, and RS-485 bus devices. Additional COM ports can be added via BlockCore™ expansion cards.
Q: What is the display resolution of the EPC-S17X2A?
A: The EPC-S17X2A uses a 17-inch 4:3 TFT LCD panel with 1280×1024 resolution (SXGA), 350 cd/m² brightness, and 450:1 contrast ratio. This higher resolution compared to the 10-inch and 12-inch EPC-S series models (1024×768) makes the 17-inch model better suited for SCADA screens, process flow diagrams, and applications requiring fine-detail display of multiple parameters.
Q: What power supply does the EPC-S17X2A require?
A: The EPC-S17X2A accepts 9–36V DC wide-range input via a 3-pin pluggable terminal block, compatible with standard 12V and 24V industrial DC power rails. AT and ATX boot modes are supported. SafeCore™ protects data integrity during unexpected power loss.
