Advantech PPC-177T Industrial Panel PC Touch HMI

Advantech PPC-177T is a 17-inch industrial panel PC with a resistive touchscreen designed for rugged HMI tasks in automation and process control. It runs on an Intel Core 2 Duo processor (up to 2.16 GHz) on the Intel 945GME/ICH7M platform, supports up to 4 GB of DDR2 RAM, and provides a 2.5" SATA HDD bay (No HD in the No HD variant) with an internal CF card interface that can serve as an OS boot drive. I/O includes four serial ports (COM1/3/4 RS-232, COM2 RS-232/422/485), four USB 2.0 ports, two Gigabit Ethernet ports, a D-sub VGA video output, and audio with Realtek ALC888 (mic/line-in and 1 W speaker). Expansion options comprise one PCIe expansion slot plus Mini PCI and Mini PCIe sockets for add-in cards. The panel PC uses Intel’s integrated graphics (Gen 3.5) with DirectX 9.1 support and Intel S2DDT for display performance. The front panel is IP65-rated for dust and water protection, suitable for harsh environments. Power can be supplied from 100–240 VAC (up to 150 W) or 16–32 VDC (up to 100 W), with rails for +3.3 V, +5 V, +12 V, +5 VSB, and -12 V. External dimensions are 442 × 362 × 111.5 mm and the unit weighs around 7.5–7.6 kg. Operating conditions span 0 to 50 °C with 10–95% non-condensing humidity. This PPC-177T is purpose-built for industrial HMIs where a robust, upgradeable panel PC is required, offering a wide range of I/O, expansion paths, and secure boot options while omitting a hard drive in the No HD configuration.
