17″ Industrial Touch PC X6413E (Large Case)

The 17″ Capacitive Touch PC X6413E (Large Case) is faytech's Atom-based industrial touch PC at the established 17″ SXGA size — engineered as the cost-effective alternative to the Core i5 sibling for deployments where platform demands are well within Atom Quad-Core capability and buyers prioritize value, the traditional 5:4 aspect ratio, and high contrast over premium compute headroom. The 17″ SXGA 5:4 form factor traces its lineage to the CRT-era display standards that financial trading systems, medical imaging workstations, legacy industrial HMI software, and enterprise applications were originally designed for — and remains widely specified in industries where vertical screen real estate matters more than widescreen video playback. This product is positioned for industrial automation supervisor stations, financial trading interfaces, healthcare clinical workstations, retail back-office terminals, and equipment OEM integration.

Same Large Case Form Factor — Different Compute Tier

This product implements faytech's standard Large Case architecture — identical Large IPC Back Kit design, modular Front Kit + Back Kit construction, connectivity layout, and mounting infrastructure as the rest of the Large Case Touch PC family. The difference is the internal compute platform: this product uses the Intel Atom x6413E (Elkhart Lake) Quad-Core processor, while the Core i5 Large Case siblings use the Intel Core i5-1145G7E (Tiger Lake U) vPro processor. The Atom and i5 Large Case products install identically into the same mounting infrastructure, offer identical connectivity, and share the same modular service infrastructure. The buying decision is purely about compute tier and cost.

When to choose this Atom version:

• Industrial automation supervisor stations running well-optimized SCADA and machine control software within Atom-class capability
• Financial back-office terminals running trading platforms, account management, and compliance software designed for 5:4 screens
• Healthcare clinical workstations for medication management, EMR access, and patient charting with vertical-format software
• Legacy 17″ HMI refresh projects where the new Atom platform exceeds the legacy hardware's compute capability
• Fleet deployments at scale where per-unit cost savings multiply meaningfully across dozens of installations
• Equipment OEM integration where unit cost drives the buy decision and OEM software targets Atom-class platforms

When the Core i5 Large Case sibling is the better choice:

• Multi-application operator workstations running SCADA + document management + corporate productivity concurrently
• Computer-vision augmented inspection software or AI-assisted predictive maintenance applications
• vPro remote management requirements for IT fleet management across distributed facilities
• Higher storage requirements — Core i5 Large Case siblings ship with 240 GB SSD vs 120 GB on this Atom version
• Multi-window financial trading — multi-monitor traders running real-time market data feeds, order entry, news, and analytics simultaneously

5:4 Aspect Ratio — The Vertical-Real-Estate Display Standard

The 5:4 aspect ratio at 1280×1024 SXGA resolution is intentional: it provides more vertical screen real estate per unit of horizontal footprint than 4:3 (XGA) or 16:9 (Full HD) panels. This matters in specific deployment contexts:

• Financial trading software — order books, price ladders, depth-of-market displays, watchlists, and trade blotters are designed around vertical-format screens
• Medical imaging workstations — radiology, pathology, and diagnostic imaging software historically targets 5:4 displays for full-frame image review
• Legacy industrial HMI — many SCADA platforms predate the widescreen transition and render natively on 5:4 panels
• Enterprise applications — legacy ERP, MES, and database-driven business applications designed for 5:4 displays
• Document-heavy workflows — vertical-format documents (forms, reports, contracts) display naturally on 5:4 panels without scrolling
• Code editors and developer tools — vertical lines-of-code visibility is higher on 5:4 than widescreen

The 17″ SXGA 5:4 standard remains widely specified by financial institutions, healthcare systems, and industrial automation vendors for back-office and supervisor-tier workstations. This product is a drop-in compatible upgrade for legacy 17″ industrial hardware reaching end-of-life.

1000:1 Contrast Ratio — Highest in the Family

This product features the highest contrast ratio in the Atom Large Case family at 1000:1 (vs 700-800:1 on most siblings). Higher contrast supports better visual separation in:

• Financial charts and order books — clearer differentiation between bid/ask price levels, volume bars, and trend lines
• Medical imaging review — improved separation between soft tissue gradients in radiology images
• Industrial trend graphs and alarm interfaces — clearer differentiation between active alarms, historical trends, and operator controls
• Quality inspection workflows — better visual discrimination between subtle defect categories
• Data-dense table interfaces — clearer separation between row data and grid lines

Brightness is 250 cd/m² (appropriate for typical office, control room, and clinical environments), viewing angles 170°/160°, and LED backlight lifetime is 30,000 hours — supporting continuous deployment in always-on supervisor and trading environments. The display uses LVDS interface internally.

Intel Atom Industrial Compute Platform

The platform is built around the Intel® Atom® x6413E processor from Intel's Elkhart Lake family — a modern Quad-Core x86 SoC designed specifically for industrial IoT, edge computing, and dedicated-function commercial deployment. The Atom x6413E offers a deliberate balance of performance and power efficiency: enough compute headroom to run industrial software, web-based HMI applications, dedicated-function applications, and modest data-display software at modest power consumption (16.5W under typical load).

Paired with 8 GB DDR4 RAM and a 120 GB SSD (proper SSD, not eMMC), the platform handles industrial control software, signage content management, kiosk applications, and modern web frameworks within Atom-appropriate workload boundaries. For workloads beyond this envelope, the Core i5 Large Case sibling is the appropriate choice within the same physical form factor.

Operating System Options

Debian 12 ships pre-installed as standard (note: Pyramid Computer GmbH is not affiliated with Debian; Debian is a registered trademark owned by Software in the Public Interest, Inc.). Additional OS options are available on request with an additional fee: Linux Ubuntu 22.4 LTS, Windows 10, and Windows 11. For Linux-based dedicated-function deployment, the Atom platform performs well within its workload boundaries. For Windows-heavy multi-application deployments, the Core i5 Large Case version is the better choice.

Touch System

The 10-point projected capacitive multi-touch panel is built on 1.1 mm thermally strengthened cover glass with AG anti-glare surface treatment (chemical etching), IK08 impact protection, and faytech's proprietary Clear Bond® optical bonding. The EXC81W84 touch controller communicates via USB with touch resolution of 52 RX × 42 TX. Multi-touch supports modern gesture-driven interfaces including pinch-to-zoom, two-finger scrolling, and rotation gestures.

Industrial Connectivity

Network: 2× 10/100/1000 Mbit Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports (Realtek® 8111H) supporting network segmentation between operational technology (OT) networks and information technology (IT) networks — critical for industrial cybersecurity, healthcare HIPAA-segmented networks, and financial trading network isolation. Wi-Fi via Intel® AC 3168 module with included RP-SMA female antenna. Power over Ethernet (PoE) is available upon request.

USB: 2× USB 3.0 + 2× USB 2.0 for peripheral integration (barcode scanners, payment terminals, RFID readers, signature pads, smart card readers, configuration storage devices, service-tool laptops).

Video Output: 1× HDMI + 1× DisplayPort for external display extension — supporting dual-display configurations (primary 5:4 panel + secondary widescreen for trading multi-monitor, primary clinical display + reference image display in healthcare, primary HMI + supervisor overview in industrial).

Modular Front Kit + Large IPC Back Kit Design

This product implements faytech's modular Front Kit + Back Kit architecture with the Large IPC Back Kit (X6413E) — the same chassis design used across the entire Large Case family, configured here with the Atom processor:

• 17″ Rubber Frame Front Kit: Contains the 17.0″ SXGA display panel, projected capacitive touch sensor, cover glass with Clear Bond® optical bonding, rubber frame structural assembly, and the IP65 sealing system.
• Large IPC Back Kit (X6413E): Contains the Intel Atom x6413E compute platform, all external connectivity, network hardware, storage, and the aluminum IPC back case with passive thermal management fins. Same physical chassis as the Core i5 Large Back Kit, configured with the Atom platform.

The shared physical infrastructure between the Atom and i5 Large Case families is operationally meaningful: organizations deploying mixed Atom and i5 Touch PCs can use the same mounting hardware, the same kiosk enclosures, the same cut-out templates, and the same service inventory infrastructure. The compute platform decision is independent of the physical integration decision.

Independent kit replacement during service supports:

• Compute platform refresh as Intel processor generations advance — replace only the back kit while keeping the original front kit, display, and physical integration
• Field damage replacement of cracked cover glass without retiring the working back kit and configured OS image
• OEM integration projects where custom enclosures house the back kit separately from the front kit
• Cross-compute service flexibility — organizations can upgrade from Atom to Core i5 in the same physical infrastructure if compute requirements grow

Note: Front Kit + Back Kit assembly to be done by a professional to maintain IP65 seal integrity.

Mounting Options

• VESA 100 × 100 mounting: Standard wall-mount arms, articulating mounts, monitor stands, and industrial pole mounts.
• 6-clamp open-frame integration: Installation into custom kiosk enclosures, retail counters, industrial control panels, machine enclosures, financial trading desks, or built-in HMI positions via a 369.0 × 309.0 mm cut-out, secured by 6 clamps. Maximum clamp wall thickness is 5.0 mm. The 6-clamp configuration provides additional structural support across the larger panel area.

Wide Power Input & Environmental

The platform accepts 9-36V DC wide power input — supporting standard 12V industrial DC, vehicle 24V systems, 48V battery backup systems (regulated), and the PoE option. The included 100-240V AC active-switching adapter outputs 12V DC. Operating power consumption is 16.5W with under 1W standby — efficient for a 17″ industrial touch PC and substantially lower than typical Core i5 Large Case siblings. This low-power profile is particularly relevant for financial trading floors where dozens of always-on workstations contribute to facility cooling load.

Operating temperature range is -10°C to +60°C with 10–90% humidity tolerance. IP65 Front + IP40 Back protection. CE and FCC certified.

Intended use: Industrial-grade touchscreen touch PC for indoor use as control panel, digital signage, wayfinding, POS, and similar applications. Protect from direct sunlight. Operation outside specified temperature ranges is not covered by warranty.

Included in the Delivery
