RISC stands for Reduced Instruction‑Set Computer. In der Industriesteuerungsbranche, Mit RISC-basiertem Panel-PC sind fast immer Industrie-Panel-PCs mit ARM-Plattform gemeint (Rockchip RK3399/RK3588, Phytium, NXP i.MX-Serie), die sich von X86 unterscheiden (CISC-Complex-Befehlssatzcomputer) Industrie-Panel-PCs.
Panel -PC: Ein industrieller All-in-One-Touch-Computer mit integriertem Motherboard, CPU, Display und Touchpanel. It is not a simple HMI touchscreen, but a complete computer capable of running an operating system.
Key Features (RISC‑Based / Arm Panel PC)
✅ Low power consumption: Typical total power consumption of 5‑12W. Fan‑less enclosed enclosure, ideal for equipment cabinets with dust and oil contamination.
✅ Operating System: Android / Debian/Linux; no native Windows support.
✅ Highly‑integrated SoC: Integrates CPU+GPU+NPU+VPU with built‑in hardware encoding and decoding. Suitable for web‑based HMI, MES workstations and edge‑AI inference.
✅ Interfaces: Ethernet port, RS232/485 serial port, GPIO, USB; supports PLC connection.
✅ Advantages: Slim form factor, low heat generation, cost‑effective. Limitations: Incapable of running Windows‑based configuration software (WinCC, KingView).
