Five Things to Specify Before You Order
A panel PC is built to order. Settle these five and the model picks itself.
Find the Panel PC for the Environment
Four environments cover most production sites. Pick yours, or ask us to spec it.
Front IP65, Full IP65 or IP69K?
The sealing level follows from where the unit sits and how the area is cleaned.
Need IP67? Winmate also makes IP67 panel PCs. Tell us the screen size and we will check the current models for you. Ask Us
Industrial Panel PC Questions, Answered
What is the difference between a panel PC and an HMI?
An HMI panel is a dedicated operator screen that runs its maker's own runtime and usually talks to one family of PLCs. A panel PC is a full x86 computer behind a touchscreen, so it runs Windows or Linux and whatever software you choose: SCADA, an MES client, a browser or your own application. Sites often choose a panel PC where one screen has to show more than one system.
Which sealing level do I need?
It depends on where the unit sits and how the area is cleaned. Front IP65 suits a unit mounted in a cabinet door, where only the front face is exposed. Full IP65 suits a unit standing in the open that is wiped or hosed down. IP69K is for lines cleaned with close-range, high-pressure, high-temperature water. Tell us the cleaning routine and we will suggest the model.
Are these panel PCs fanless?
Yes, all six models listed here are fanless. With no fan, no air is drawn through the housing, so dust and moisture stay outside and there is no fan to wear out. Winmate also makes fan-cooled panel PCs with desktop-class processors for heavier workloads. Ask us if you need one and we will check the current models.
Which operating systems are available?
Winmate lists Windows 11 IoT Enterprise, Windows 11 Pro and Ubuntu Linux for these models, each as an order option. We supply the unit with the operating system you specify, along with the memory and storage. Your IT or automation team then joins it to the network and loads the application software, the same as any other PC on site.
Should I choose resistive or capacitive touch?
Projected capacitive touch has a flat glass front and supports multi-touch, and on the two stainless models here it has glove and rain modes. Resistive touch responds to pressure, so it works with any glove or a stylus. It is offered on the three front IP65 models as an order option, alongside plain protection glass with no touch. Choose by what operators wear and how the screens were designed.
Can a panel PC be used in an ATEX zone?
Only a model certified for that zone. The Winmate R19IHAT-66EX-T is certified by Winmate for ATEX and IECEx Zone 2 and for Class I Division 2. It is not for Zone 0 or Zone 1. Classifying the area, and confirming that the marking suits it, is the responsibility of the site and its competent person. The other models on this page are not for hazardous areas.
Does TITAN set up or fit the panel PCs?
No. We supply the hardware, built to order by Winmate with the memory, storage and operating system you specify. Mounting, wiring and software are handled by your own IT, automation or engineering team, or by your integrator. Before the order we help with model choice, cut-out sizes and mounting options, and we are your first point of contact afterwards.
Can I get other Winmate sizes and models?
Yes. The six models here are the ones we lead with, but Winmate's range is much wider: other screen sizes, open-frame and rack-mount versions, IP67 units and different processors. Send us the screen size, sealing level, touch type and operating system you need, and we will come back with the matching model and its datasheet.
Tell Us Where It Is Going
The area, how it is cleaned and what the screen has to run. We’ll come back with the model, the options and a quote.
