Overview
The National Instruments PPC-2115 is a fanless industrial panel PC
(PPC) with a built-in touch screen. The NI PPC-2115 offers a thin 2.5 in.
display to save panel space and a 1 GHz Celeron M processor with a
rugged 15 in. TFT color LCD display for large human machine interface
(HMI) applications. Combine the NI LabVIEW Datalogging and
Supervisory Control (DSC) Module with the PPC-2115 to deploy LabVIEW
front panels.
Rugged Industrial Design
The PPC-2115 offers fanless cooling over a 0 to 50 °C operating
temperature range. The reduced depth of the PPC-2115 saves limited
rack and panel space on the plant floor while providing 15 in. of touch
screen control for large HMI applications. The PPC-2115 touch screen
display features tempered antireflective glass that is coated to
minimize scratching. NEMA4/IP65 compliance ensures that the unit
meets hose-down requirements. The PPC-2115 features extended shock,
vibration, and temperature ratings plus global safety standards and
agency certifications.
Touch Screen and Display Specifications
The PPC-2115 offers a high-quality 15 in. thin film transistor (TFT)
display with a touch screen. See Table 2 for key display and touch
screen specifications.
