Product Description:

The AKC-PNC-C1-224-100-00-000 is an HMI panel manufactured by Kollmorgen for the AKI Interface Panels series. The unit combines a resistive touchscreen, an industrial PC, and multiple communication ports so operators can supervise machines directly at the cabinet door. By coupling embedded processing with a durable display, it converts PLC register data into menus, alarms, and trend graphs while forwarding touch commands to the control system. This architecture removes the need for a separate computer in tight spaces and simplifies visualization tasks on automated production lines.

It renders graphics on a 350 cd/m² backlit screen that remains legible under factory lighting. The 10-inch diagonal panel uses an 800 × 600 pixel matrix, providing enough resolution for detailed mimic diagrams without overloading the hardware. A Celeron 1.2 GHz processor handles local scripting and protocol conversion, while 2 GB of DDR RAM keeps screen refresh times short. Nonvolatile storage includes 128 KB of NVRAM for battery-backed variables and a 4 GB CompactFlash card for project files, recipes, and event logs. Graphics can be mirrored through a DVI-I port when an external monitor is required, and two PCI slots provide space for specialized interface cards.

Field wiring is simplified by a 24 VDC power input that matches standard control cabinet supplies. Network connections include one 10/100 Ethernet port and one 100/1000 Ethernet port, allowing separate links to plant and information networks. Legacy equipment connects through two RS-232 ports, while five USB receptacles accommodate compatible peripherals. The touchscreen is rated for one million touches, supporting frequent daily use in production cells. Heat is removed by free convection, eliminating the need for fans and their associated moving parts. The cast aluminum housing measures 312 × 380 × 163 mm and supports direct panel mounting without additional airflow hardware.
