Cincoze CRYSTAL Panel PC’s are the Ultimate HMI Solution for Rugged Environments
Industrial panel PCs have become essential to many sectors, particularly those with demanding environments. Cincoze’s CRYSTAL series stands out for its versatility, robustness, and customizability, designed specifically for Human-Machine Interface (HMI) applications across varied industrial settings.
With a comprehensive line-up for indoor, outdoor, and machine-integrated use, the CRYSTAL series merges advanced processing power with rugged features to tackle complex HMI tasks in manufacturing, energy, transportation, and more.
The CRYSTAL Series
Cincoze’s CRYSTAL series provides an exceptional choice of HMI solutions for industries that demand both performance and durability. With configurations supporting up to a hundred combinations of computing power, screen size, display ratios, and touch capabilities, the series is crafted to fit an array of HMI needs.
Incorporating industrial-grade protection against extreme temperatures, high dust levels, and intense vibrations, Cincoze’s CRYSTAL line guarantees performance in harsh environments. This product line includes three distinct series to support HMI across diverse applications:
- Industrial Panel PCs for indoor environments
- Sunlight Readable Panel PCs for outdoor high-brightness use
- Open Frame Panel PCs for seamless integration with machinery and equipment
Each of these models aligns with Cincoze’s mission to simplify HMI deployment in rugged settings, ensuring that businesses achieve robust, high-quality control over their industrial operations.
Smart Manufacturing Solutions with Cincoze Panel PCs
In an era of smart manufacturing, Cincoze’s CV-100/P Series has become a preferred choice for HMI applications such as machine monitoring, materials management, and environmental control systems. The series is engineered with a wide range of Intel® processors, including Atom®, Pentium®, and Core™ options, allowing industries to select the processing power that matches their requirements. This versatility in processors provides the necessary computing strength to handle data display, analysis, and real-time decision-making across industrial operations.
Moreover, the CV-100/P Series’ rich I/O interfaces enhance connectivity, facilitating smooth data transmission and analysis. Equipped with Mini PCIe and M.2 Key E expansion ports, the series allows for wireless communication module integration, enabling seamless data flow to central control systems. Additionally, it offers an extensive selection of screen sizes (from 8.4″ to 24″) and display ratios (4:3 to 16:9), complemented by both capacitive (P-CAP) and resistive touchscreen options.
Key Features for Industrial Reliability
For any HMI application, reliability is non-negotiable, especially in environments prone to temperature swings and power fluctuations. Cincoze’s CV-100/P Series tackles these challenges head-on with:
- Wide temperature tolerance (-20°C to 70°C) for stable operation
- Broad voltage input range (9–48 VDC) to manage power inconsistencies
- Industrial-grade protections against overvoltage, overcurrent, and electrostatic discharge (ESD)
This robust design ensures the CV-100/P Series continues to function optimally, even in the most challenging manufacturing settings.
Outdoor Brilliance: Sunlight-Readable Panel PCs
Cincoze’s CS-100/P Series brings clarity to outdoor HMI applications, an area where visibility under bright sunlight often hampers operations. Featuring a powerful 1800-nit backlight, these panel PCs guarantee that displays remain readable even under direct sunlight, offering up to 50,000 hours of backlight life. This model is particularly popular for public-facing applications, including:
- Interactive information kiosks
- Charging stations
- Ticketing systems
- Outdoor advertising displays
With these applications in mind, Cincoze’s CS-100/P Series is meticulously designed for durability. The front panels are IP65-rated for dust and water resistance, while the aluminium die-casting frame is engineered for shock resistance and longevity. In addition, the screens are crafted with 7H hardness touch surfaces for scratch resistance, enhancing usability in high-traffic, rugged environments.
Certified Durability
The CS-100/P Series is rigorously tested to meet multiple industry standards, demonstrating Cincoze’s commitment to quality. Notable certifications include:
- UL safety certification for compliance with safety protocols
- Anti-vibration and shock resistance (IEC 60068-2-27/64) for enhanced resilience
- Sinusoidal Vibration Testing (IEC 60068-2-6) for stability in fluctuating environments
- Electromagnetic compatibility (EN 61000-6-2/4) for reliable operation amidst electromagnetic interference
These certifications reinforce the CS-100/P Series as an ideal HMI solution for sectors such as transportation, public infrastructure, and outdoor manufacturing.
Streamlined Machine Integration with Open Frame Panel PCs
Cincoze’s CO-100/P Series caters to equipment manufacturers seeking smooth integration with existing machinery. This series offers a patented adjustable design that includes options for thickness adjustments and multiple locking methods. The flexible design ensures seamless installation into control cabinets and machinery across varied industrial setups. This model’s easy adaptability reduces the time and cost associated with deployment, benefitting equipment manufacturers needing a quick, reliable HMI interface.
Additionally, the CO-100/P Series integrates Cincoze’s patented CDS technology, which allows users to replace individual components, such as the display or computer, without replacing the entire panel. This plug-and-play capability not only minimises downtime but also brings down maintenance costs, ensuring ongoing performance with minimal disruption to operations.
The CO-100/P Series stands out for its modular design, which helps companies maintain consistency in their equipment’s appearance. Unlike traditional panel PCs that may require frequent customisation and maintenance, the CO-100/P Series simplifies upkeep through its integrated wiring and component consolidation.
