HMIDT642

What is this touchscreen panel used for?

It is an industrial HMI touchscreen display designed for operator interaction with machines and automation systems, typically mounted into a control cabinet or operator station for monitoring and control.

What screen size and display performance can I expect?

It has a 12.1-inch colour TFT LCD with up to 16 million colours and an XGA display resolution of 1024 × 768 pixels. The published pixel resolution for the panel is 1024 × 600.

What type of touch technology does it use?

It uses a multi-touch analogue resistive touch panel, which is well suited to industrial environments and operation where a pressure-based touch interface is preferred.

What power supply is required?

It is powered by 12 to 24 V DC. The allowable supply voltage range is 10.8 to 28.8 V DC, with typical power consumption of 21 W.

Are there any special power-up considerations?

Yes. The specified inrush current is up to 30 A, so the DC supply and protection should be selected to handle the brief start-up surge without nuisance tripping or excessive voltage drop.

What are the external dimensions of the unit?

The overall dimensions are approximately 315 mm (W) × 241 mm (H) × 67 mm (D). Net weight is about 3 kg (Schneider reference HMIDT642).

What panel cut-out is needed for installation?

The recommended panel cut-out is 301.5 mm (+1/−0) × 227.5 mm (+1/−0). The compatible panel thickness range is 1.6 to 5 mm, with a maximum corner radius of 3 mm.

What level of ingress protection does the front of the panel provide?

The front panel is rated IP66 and IP67, and it also meets NEMA 4X (front panel) for protection against dust and water ingress when correctly mounted and sealed.

Is it suitable for indoor installation only?

Yes. It is specified for indoor installation and is intended to be mounted in an enclosure or panel that suits the overall environmental conditions of the application.

What are the operating and storage temperature limits?

Operating ambient temperature is 0 to 60 °C. Storage temperature is −20 to 60 °C. Relative humidity is 10% to 90% non-condensing.

Does the unit include any automatic screen adjustment features?

Yes. It includes a brightness sensor, which can be used to adapt screen brightness to ambient conditions depending on the system configuration.

What cooling method does it require?

It is designed for natural convection cooling. If installed on a slant with an incline greater than 30°, the ambient temperature should not exceed 40 °C; additional cabinet ventilation or forced air cooling may be required to stay within limits.

What built-in connections are available on the unit?

It includes USB connections: USB 2.0 Type A and USB 2.0 mini-B, which are commonly used for peripherals and commissioning tasks in industrial HMI setups.

What standards or approvals are associated with this touchscreen panel?

Published compliance information includes CE and other approvals depending on configuration and market (for example cULus, RCM, and KC are commonly listed), along with standards such as UL 508 and IEC 61131-2 related environmental and industrial requirements.
