The **TPC-317-R853A** is an industrial-grade Touch Panel PC manufactured by Advantech. It is designed for harsh HMI (Human Machine Interface) applications, featuring a high-performance processor and robust electronic components. --- ## 1. Core Processing Unit (CPU) The "R85" in the model name typically signifies the integration of the **Intel® Core™ i5-8365UE** processor (or similar 8th Gen Whiskey Lake architecture). | Component | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Processor** | Intel® Core™ i5-8365UE (Quad-core) | | **Base Frequency** | 1.60 GHz | | **Max Turbo Frequency** | 4.10 GHz | | **Cache** | 6 MB SmartCache | | **TDP** | 15W (Ultra-low power consumption for fanless cooling) | --- ## 2. Memory and Storage The electronic architecture utilizes high-speed DDR4 memory and solid-state storage interfaces to ensure reliability in industrial environments. * **RAM:** Supports 1 x SO-DIMM DDR4-2400 (Up to 32GB). * **Storage Bus:** * 1 x M.2 Key-B (SATA or PCIe) for SSDs. * 1 x 2.5" SATA SSD/HDD bay. * **Expansion:** Includes 1 x Full-size mini-PCIe slot (often used for Wi-Fi/LTE modules). --- ## 3. Display and Touch Electronics The unit features a large-format display controlled by an integrated graphics engine. | Part | Description | | :--- | :--- | | **LCD Panel** | 17" SXGA TFT LED | | **Resolution** | 1280 x 1024 | | **Touch Controller** | 5-wire Resistive (Industrial durability) | | **Light Transmission** | 80% ± 3% | | **GPU** | Integrated Intel® UHD Graphics 620 | --- ## 4. Input/Output (I/O) Interfaces The motherboard provides several physical electronic interfaces for machine communication: * **Ethernet:** Dual 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports (Intel i219 and i211 controllers). * **USB:** 4 x USB 3.2 (Gen 1) ports. * **Serial Comms:** 2 x RS-232/422/485 ports (BIOS selectable). * **Video Out:** 1 x HDMI 1.4 for secondary displays. * **Audio:** Line-out and Mic-in (Realtek ALC888S). --- ## 5. Power and Thermal Design The electronic design emphasizes stability under electrical fluctuations and heat management. * **Power Input:** 24VDC ± 20% (Phoenix connector). * **Cooling:** Fanless design (The aluminum chassis acts as a large heat sink). * **Protection:** Front panel is IP66-rated (dust and water jet protection). * **Watchdog Timer:** 1 ~ 255 sec system reset (prevents system hang-ups in automated environments).
