Specifications | Parameter Category | Details | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Manufacturer & Series | Schneider Electric, Modicon TM171 (HMI/Panel PC Series) | | Complete Model Number | TM171EP27R | | Product Type | Large Touchscreen Station (HMI / Panel PC) | | Display | 27-inch TFT Color LCD, Touchscreen (typically Projected Capacitive for multi-touch support). | | Screen Resolution | Typically 1920 x 1080 pixels (Full HD) or higher (e.g., 2560 x 1440). | | Brightness | High brightness, typically ≥ 400 cd/m². | | Processor | Industrial-grade multi-core processor (e.g., Intel Celeron or Core i-series). | | Memory (RAM) | Typically 2 GB to 4 GB DDR3L (or higher, depending on configuration). | | Storage | Solid State Drive (SSD), typically 16 GB or larger for the operating system and applications. | | Operating System | Pre-installed Microsoft Windows 10 IoT Enterprise or a similar real-time/industrial OS variant. | | Integrated PLC Runtime | No. This is a key difference from the "OBM" series. It runs HMI/SCADA/PC software but does not natively execute IEC 61131-3 PLC logic unless paired with a separate software runtime (e.g., as a soft PLC host). | | Communication Ports | • 2x or more Ethernet Ports (RJ45): Gigabit Ethernet for network connectivity. • 4x or more USB Ports (Type A): For peripherals (keyboard, mouse, barcode scanner, storage). • 1x USB Port (Type B or Mini-B): For service. • Serial Port (optional): RS-232/422/485. • Audio I/O: Line-in/out. | | Expansion | May include internal expansion slots (e.g., mini-PCIe) for additional communication cards (Wi-Fi, cellular modem, etc.). | | Software Platform | Compatible with: • EcoStruxure Operator Terminal Expert (for HMI application development). • Third-party SCADA/HMI software (e.g., Wonderware, WinCC, Ignition). • EcoStruxure Control Expert (for configuration when used as a programming station). | | Runtime License | Requires a separate HMI runtime license (unlike the embedded-license "BM" models). The license is typically tied to the development software used. | | Power Supply | 24V DC (standard industrial supply) with wide input range (e.g., 19.2V - 28.8V DC). | | Operating Temperature | 0°C to +50°C (with display). | | Storage Temperature | -20°C to +70°C | | Front Panel Protection Rating | Typically IP65 / NEMA 4X (dust-tight and protected against water jets). | | Mounting | Panel-mounted via a cutout. Requires a sturdy panel due to size and weight. | | Dimensions (H x W x D) | Approximately ~550 mm x 400 mm x 70-100 mm (varies; precise bezel dimensions are critical for cutout). | | Certifications | cULus, CE, RoHS, FCC, potentially others for specific markets. | | Typical Applications | Central control rooms, supervisory stations for production lines, SCADA operator interfaces, data visualization hubs, recipe management stations, and advanced diagnostic terminals. |
