19″ Industrial Touch PC i5 (Large Case)

The 19″ Capacitive Touch PC I5-1145G7E (Large Case) is faytech's large-format industrial-standard touch PC — engineered for the deployment scenarios where 19″ 5:4 SXGA is the established hardware specification. This is the natural upmarket choice for control rooms and operator workstations that need the proven 5:4 SXGA industrial format at a larger, more visible viewing size: supervisory control positions, shared operator workstations, large process control facilities, and applications where the 17″ sibling is the standard but a larger display is operationally preferred.

Why 19″ at 5:4 SXGA Specifically

The 5:4 SXGA (1280×1024) specification is the long-established industrial control room aspect ratio for high-end operator workstations. The 19″ size at this aspect serves several specific deployment patterns that differ from the 17″ sibling:

• Supervisory control positions: Shift supervisors, control room leads, and operations managers typically need larger displays than line operators for overseeing multiple processes. The 19″ size at the same proven 5:4 SXGA spec maintains operational alignment with the 17″ operator workstations while providing better visibility for supervisory oversight.
• Shared-viewing operator stations: Operator workstations where multiple personnel need simultaneous viewing (training stations, handoff positions, technical specialist consults) benefit from the larger 19″ size. The 178°/178° viewing angles are wider than the 17″ sibling, supporting better off-axis viewing for shared use.
• Larger control room footprints: Process control facilities and refining operations centers with established console furniture sized for 19″ panels can refresh hardware without rebuilding console infrastructure.
• Lower pixel density for older operator demographics: SXGA on a 19″ panel produces lower pixel density (~86 PPI) than the same resolution on the 17″ panel (~96 PPI). For operator demographics with older average age and vision considerations, the larger pixels improve readability without requiring software display scaling.

The 19″ 5:4 SXGA panel has been a control room standard for two decades — used widely in power generation control rooms, refining and petrochemical operations, pharmaceutical manufacturing, telecommunications operations centers, and other process-intensive industries. Replacing existing 19″ 5:4 panels with modern widescreen displays creates the same compatibility problems as the 17″ sibling: legacy DCS and SCADA software designed for 5:4 either renders incorrectly on widescreen or leaves significant unused screen real estate, and operator training continuity is disrupted.

Display Specifications

The 19.0″ display delivers 1280×1024 SXGA resolution across a 374.78 × 299.83 mm active area, in 5:4 aspect ratio. Brightness is 250 cd/m², appropriate for indoor industrial control room environments. Contrast ratio is 1,000:1 — matching the 17″ sibling at the highest contrast in the compact Core i5 Touch PC family. Viewing angles are 178°/178° — wider than the 17″ sibling (170°/160°), supporting shared viewing and off-axis approach. 30,000-hour LED backlight lifetime supports continuous 24/7 industrial deployment for over 3.4 years of round-the-clock operation. The display uses LVDS interface internally.

Intel Core i5 Industrial Compute Platform

The platform is built around the Intel® Core™ i5-1145G7E (Tiger Lake U) — a genuine industrial vPro embedded processor, not a low-power Atom or Celeron SoC. The i5-1145G7E offers full Intel Core architecture with significantly more compute performance than the Atom and Celeron alternatives common in this product category. Paired with 8 GB DDR4 RAM and a 240 GB SSD (proper SSD, not eMMC), the platform handles demanding industrial software with margin to spare.

This compute spec matters operationally because modern process control software remains resource-intensive even when running in legacy 5:4 aspect: browser-based HMI panels running multiple WebSocket connections, real-time process data dashboards with high-frequency telemetry, historian integration, AI-assisted predictive maintenance interfaces, and the multi-application workloads common in supervisory operator stations that simultaneously run DCS clients, alarm management, document management systems, and corporate productivity software.

The 1145G7E is also a vPro processor, supporting Intel's enterprise remote management features (AMT, vPro Manageability Engine) — meaningful for IT teams managing fleets of industrial workstations remotely across geographically distributed facilities. Power consumption is 29.2W under operating load — slightly higher than smaller siblings due to the larger panel area.

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 available on request (with additional fee): Linux Ubuntu 22.4 LTS for the broader Ubuntu ecosystem alignment, Windows 10 for legacy Windows industrial software, and Windows 11 for current Windows commercial software. Windows pre-installation is particularly relevant for this product, as most legacy DCS and SCADA clients run on Windows.

Touch System

The 10-point projected capacitive multi-touch panel is built on 1.1 mm thermally strengthened cover glass with AG (chemical etching) anti-glare surface treatment, IK08 impact protection, and faytech's Clear Bond® optical bonding. The EXC81W84 touch controller communicates via USB. Touch resolution is 59 RX × 46 TX — the highest touch resolution in the compact Core i5 Touch PC family, supporting fine touch precision across the larger panel area. The optical bonding eliminates the air gap between touch sensor and LCD panel, improving optical clarity, reducing reflections in control room lighting, and increasing mechanical durability against operator impacts.

Comprehensive Industrial Connectivity

Network: 2× 10/100/1000 Mbit Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports (Realtek® 8111H) supporting network segmentation common in industrial OT/IT separation. 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 (high-speed peripherals: external storage, barcode scanners, high-bandwidth instruments) + 2× USB 2.0 (standard industrial peripherals).

Video Output: 1× HDMI + 1× DisplayPort for external display extension — useful for modernizing supervisory stations to dual-display configurations (19″ 5:4 touch screen for legacy DCS + secondary widescreen for additional modern dashboards, video feeds from process cameras, or video conferencing for remote technical consultation).

Industrial Serial: 2× RS-232 COM ports (RX/TX only, DSUB9). The dual COM port specification matters for industrial integration: many process control deployments require simultaneous communication with multiple legacy devices (DCS controller + historian + analyzer + barcode scanner). The pinout follows standard RS-232 convention: Pin 2 RXD1, Pin 3 TXD1, Pin 5/10/11 GND.

Additional connectors: 1× Audio In/Out (Realtek® ALC897 Audio CODEC), 1× SD card slot for local data logging and removable storage, 1× SIM card slot for cellular connectivity in installations where Wi-Fi/Ethernet isn't appropriate.

Modular Front Kit + Back Kit Design

• 19″ Rubber Frame Front Kit: Contains the 19″ 5:4 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 (i5-1145G7E): Contains the Intel Core i5 compute platform, all external connectivity, network hardware, storage, and the aluminum IPC back case with passive thermal management fins. This is the same back kit shared across the entire compact Core i5 Touch PC family.

The two kits can be ordered pre-assembled (deployment-ready) or separately packaged (for OEM integration), connected through various standardized connectors. Independent replacement during service supports:

• Compute platform refresh as Intel Core processor generations advance, without replacing the more expensive front kit
• Field damage replacement of cracked cover glass without retiring the working back kit and configured OS image
• OEM integration projects where custom control panel enclosures house the back kit separately from the front kit
• Service inventory optimization with separate kit stocking — the shared Large IPC Back Kit across multiple front kit sizes simplifies fleet inventory management for organizations operating mixed-size Touch PC deployments (such as facilities running 17″ at operator positions and 19″ at supervisory positions)

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