For use in this hygiene-critical environment, Spectra presents the panel PC of the Spectra Panel Z series with display sizes from 17 inch to 21.5 inch and resistive touch screen. The use of stainless steel for the housing of these panel PCs guarantees a very high surface quality that can withstand highly corrosive environments as well as high pressures and temperatures.
Even under continuous stress, the homogeneous surfaces remain free of hairline cracks or pores, so that no impurities can adhere. In addition, the Panel PCs are designed according to the IP66/69K protection class all around. Two Gigabit LAN, four USB and two COM interfaces are designed as M12 or IP67 connectors and allow easy cleaning and disinfection all around.

Powerful processors

For the processors, you can choose between representatives of the Intel^® Apollo Lake or Kaby Lake family. Two DDR4 SO-DIMM sockets, occupied by 1x 8 GB RAM and expandable up to max. 32 GB, are available as RAM. A 128 GB 2.5-inc SSD and an additional M.2 M-Key 2280 are used for data storage. An mPCIe (full-size) and an M.2 E-Key 2230 slot are used for functional extensions. Spectra takes over the installation of the components at the customer's request, as only trained personnel are allowed to open the Panel PC in order to guarantee the tightness of the device.

The All-in-One controllers of the UniStream series offer an excellent opportunity: In addition to a touch display and the controller, they combine numerous sets of analogue and digital inputs and outputs in a compact housing.
New are the models with 10-inch display, which round off the series in addition to the 5-inch and 7-inch models. A highlight is the modern, user-friendly, graphically oriented programming software UniLogic^® Studio, which is included free of charge with a purchase of a UniStream All-in-One PLC. With this software package one programs both the HMI and the controller. On the one hand, this significantly reduces the acquisition costs and, on the other hand, the programming effort.

Expandable to remote I/O

If the number of built-in I/Os is not enough, it can be expanded to a total of 2048 remote I/Os via Ethernet. Additional fieldbus components from other manufacturers can be easily integrated via Modbus RTU/TCP or CANopen. A special feature of the UniStream series is the support of the MQTT protocol, with the help of which messages can be both published and subscribed to. This makes the way into the cloud easier. Furthermore SNMP, VNC, FTP, SMS, e-mail, and communication via GSM/GPRS modem are supported. The experts at Spectra advise on the selection of the right All-in-One controller, including expansion and make commissioning easier with in-house training on programming with UniLogic^® Studio software.
