SPC-500 Series Rugged HMIs

Click2Contact

The SPC-500 series of stainless steel human-machine interfaces (HMIs) is aimed at applications with strict safety and hygiene requirements. In the food and beverage, pharmaceutical and packaging industries, all equipment must meet strict requirements for hygiene, robustness and reliability. Advantech’s SPC-500 series is designed to satisfy these requirements and withstand operation in harsh environments.

Powered by an Intel Core i3-6100U processor, the HMIs are enclosed in a sealed housing made of SUS304L-grade stainless steel, which is resistant to oxidation, corrosion and bacteria, and allows cleaning with harsh detergents. For applications requiring regular sanitisation, the IP69K rating provides full protection against dust and water ingress (even at high temperatures and high pressure). The glass panel features IK08-rated shatter protection in case of external impacts, eliminating potential food contamination or safety hazards caused by broken glass. Moreover, the HMIs are compliant with the DIN EN 1672-2 safety and hygiene standards for food processing machinery, making them suitable for commercial and industrial food processing. With the integration of a VESA mount, the HMIs can be quickly and securely mounted on any support arm system, fixing system or stand.

To further protect against corrosion and equipment failures, the HMIs have a pressure compensation element that balances pressure differences between the housing and surrounding environment due to changes in airflow temperature. The pressure compensation element delivers IP68/69K-rated protection from vapour and contaminant ingress to help ensure reliability during equipment operation.
