In the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries, hygiene and durability requirements are exceptionally high. Operator terminals must withstand daily cleaning with high-pressure water and cleaning agents – without moisture or dirt getting inside. With the fully enclosed 18.5″ stainless steel PC ST198, PERICOM offers a powerful solution designed precisely for these applications.
Fully Protected: Stainless Steel Housing with IP66/IP69K
The housing of the ST198 is made of stainless steel SUS304/316 and is completely enclosed. With protection rating IP66/IP69K, the panel PC is protected against dust, water jets and high-pressure steam cleaning. This allows it to be installed directly in production areas where wet cleaning is part of the daily routine.
Large Full HD Display with Capacitive Touch
The 18.5″ TFT display with Full HD resolution (1920 × 1080 pixels) delivers a clear view of process data, visualisations and HMI interfaces. The projected capacitive touchscreen (PCT) enables precise, intuitive operation – just like modern smartphones.
Reliable Performance for Industrial Applications
Inside, an Intel Celeron J6412 processor runs at 2 GHz. Depending on the configuration, the ST198 is available with RAM and SSD storage and ships with Windows 10 IoT. This makes it well suited for HMI, SCADA and MES applications, as well as machine operation and process visualisation.
Extensive Interfaces for Easy Integration
The stainless steel PC integrates easily into existing systems:
- 2 × Gigabit LAN
- 4 × USB
- 4 × COM (serial)
- 1 × HDMI
- 1 × Line-out (audio)
- Power supply: 12–28 V DC
Typical Applications
- Food and beverage industry
- Pharmaceutical and chemical production
- Dairies and meat processing
- Cleanroom and hygiene areas
- Packaging lines with wet cleaning
