Redundant Power Panel PC – CESIPC UTC-W2192E
On September 2, during the broadcast of CCTV News, our redundant power Panel PC was featured on screen across China.
Project Background
The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is one of China’s most dynamic and strategically important regions, with extremely high requirements for grid reliability and operational stability. In pumped storage units, any unexpected power outage or control interruption could result in major economic losses and potential data risks. Ensuring continuous and stable operation of the control system was therefore a critical challenge.
Solution
The project deployed the UTC-W2192E Panel PC as the core control terminal.
Key advantages include:
- Dual Redundant Power Supply – Provides uninterrupted operation even if one power input fails, eliminating downtime and preventing data loss.
- Fan-less Inside Structure
- IP65 Front Panel, 21.5 inch capacitive touch screen
- 10th Gen Intel® Processor – Delivers robust computing power to support real-time monitoring, analytics, and decision-making for pumped storage operations.
- Rich I/O Interfaces – Equipped with 6 COM ports, 6 USB ports, and 6 LAN ports, ensuring seamless integration with industrial devices, sensors, and networks.
- Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 processors, compatible from Celeron® to 12th Gen Intel® Core™
- 21.5-inch 16:9 TFT LCD, 1920 × 1080 (SXGA).
