The monitor is equipped with an industrial 24-VDC power input, suitable for use in industrial control systems.

Applications

The FPM-3171G-X0AE is suitable for industrial applications requiring high mechanical stability, protection against dust and splashing water, and long service life. Typical use cases include machine control, process visualization, control panels in production facilities, or in manufacturing automation. The IP65-certified front panel ensures a high level of protection against dust and splashing water, enabling use in harsh environments. The robust construction with a stainless steel housing and aluminum front panel increases mechanical strength and extends the device’s lifespan.

Features and Equipment in Detail

The monitor features a 17-inch TFT-LCD screen with SXGA resolution (1280 x 1024 pixels), ensuring clear and sharp display. The display is equipped with LED backlighting, achieving a lifespan of 50,000 hours. The front panel is made of tempered glass, ensuring a glare-free screen and improved readability even under direct lighting. A lockable OSD control pad on the rear allows adjustment of screen parameters, with the lockable feature preventing unauthorized changes.

Technology Explained Simply

The resistive touchscreen allows operation with fingers or styluses, even when wearing gloves, and is particularly suitable for industrial applications due to its robustness and resistance to contamination. The Direct-VGA and DVI connections enable direct connection to graphics cards or other video signal sources without additional converters. The operating voltage of 24 VDC is typical for industrial control systems and allows easy integration into existing power supply networks. The IP65 certification means the front panel is dust-tight and protected against splashing water, enabling use in outdoor or humid environments.

Compatibility and Accessories

The monitor is designed for mounting in 8U rack enclosures and features pre-drilled mounting holes. Alternatively, it can be mounted on walls, desks, control panels, or on VESA arms, enabling flexible placement in various industrial environments. The Direct-VGA and DVI connections are standard video interfaces, compatible with a wide range of graphics cards and control devices.

Mounting and Installation

Mounting is done via the pre-drilled holes in the housing, designed for 8U rack mounting. Alternatively, the monitor can be attached to various surfaces, with the mounting method chosen according to the application environment. Installation requires no special tools or additional components, as all necessary mounting points are integrated into the device.
