2.2 Storage & Removable Media Unit
Standard 256GB 2.5” SATA MLC industrial SSD without mechanical moving parts, shock and vibration resistant for harsh workshop environments. Built‑in DVD‑RW drive, front external Type2 CFast card slot supporting system boot from memory card for on‑site system recovery, image backup and program quick duplication.
2.3 17” Touch Display Unit
17” 5:4 industrial LCD panel with native resolution 1920×1200, PCT projected capacitive multi‑touch with better anti‑interference and wear resistance than resistive touch. Integrated aluminum front bezel with front panel IP66 rating to block liquid, oil and dust intrusion into the display module under proper cabinet mounting.
2.4 Full‑Spec I/O Peripheral Interface Unit
Rear integrated industrial standard interfaces:
- 2×RS232 DB9 serial ports for inverters, instruments and third‑party control devices;
- Dual 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports for isolated PLC control network and factory MES office network;
- 5×USB3.0, 1×PS/2 keyboard/mouse combo port, audio in/out terminals;
- 1×DisplayPort + 1×DVI‑I video output for secondary monitor extended display;
- Reserved PCIe expansion slots for data acquisition and communication add‑on cards.
2.5 Power Supply & Circuit Protection Unit
This variant supports 18~32VDC wide‑range DC input, compatible with vehicle industrial control, power plant DC panel and equipment 24V power supply. The power inlet is equipped with surge suppression, reverse polarity prevention and overcurrent fuse protection to avoid system crash caused by power line noise fluctuation. Max power consumption 180W.
2.6 Industrial Reinforced Mechanical & Environmental Unit
Integrated aluminum alloy chassis with conformal coating on the main PCB to resist moisture, corrosion and salt fog. Passive fanless heat dissipation reduces dust failure points, complying with IEC 60068 vibration and shock standards to support 24/7 non‑stop continuous operation in sealed high‑temperature control cabinets.
