The Advantech FPM-3171G-R3AE is a 17-inch industrial monitor with SXGA resolution, specifically designed for use in demanding industrial environments. It features a resistive touchscreen, enabling reliable operation even with gloves, and is designed for mounting in 8U rack enclosures. The front panel is IP65-certified, providing dust and splash protection, and is made of toughened glass, ensuring glare-free display. The robust housing made of stainless steel and the aluminium front panel ensure high mechanical stability and resistance to external influences.

Applications

The monitor is suitable for use in industrial facilities, such as in manufacturing automation, process control, or logistics. It can be installed in various mounting configurations, including operator panel, wall, desk, rack, or VESA arm mounting. The pre-drilled mounting holes for 8U rack mounting facilitate integration into existing systems. The IP65 certification also makes it suitable for use in humid or dusty environments.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The FPM-3171G-R3AE features a 17-inch TFT LCD screen with SXGA resolution (1280 x 1024 pixels) and LED backlighting. The backlight has a lifespan of 50,000 hours, enabling long-term operation without replacement. The resistive touchscreen allows precise operation, even with protective gloves or styluses. At the rear, there is a lockable OSD control panel, enabling adjustment of screen settings such as brightness, contrast, and colour tone, while preventing unauthorised changes.

Technology Explained Simply

The LED backlighting ensures uniform and energy-efficient image reproduction. The SXGA resolution provides sufficient screen area for displaying complex applications, such as SCADA systems or machine controls. The resistive touchscreen responds to pressure, making it particularly suitable for environments where operation with gloves is required. The IP65 certification of the front panel protects against dust and splashing water, increasing reliability in industrial environments.

Compatibility and Accessories

The monitor supports industrial power supply via 24 VDC, making it suitable for use in industrial control systems. The connections include Direct-VGA and DVI, enabling connection to various graphics cards and systems.

Mounting and Installation

Mounting is done via pre-drilled holes for 8U rack mounting, allowing quick and secure installation in standard rack systems. Alternatively, the monitor can also be mounted on operator panels, walls, desks, or using VESA arm mounting. The robust construction from stainless steel and aluminium ensures high mechanical stability.

Operational Advantages

The monitor offers high reliability due to its robust design, IP65 certification, and the long lifespan of the LED backlight. The support for various mounting options increases installation flexibility. The lockable OSD control prevents unauthorised changes to screen settings, which is beneficial in safety-critical applications.
