Pro-face PSA6000 iPC 15" widescreen, Intel Atom

PFXPSA6AFD18W11 uses a widescreen 15,6-inch colour TFT LCD.

Resolution 1920 × 1080 px Full HD provides significantly more workspace than classic XGA panels, allowing advanced synoptic views, trends, alarms and process data to be displayed on a single screen.

The display supports 16 million colours, and its active area measures approximately 344,16 × 193,59 mm.

The panel uses Projected Capacitive Touch, a capacitive touch technology providing fast and precise interface operation.

The screen supports Multi-Touch with two simultaneous touch points.

The manufacturer specifies a touchscreen durability of at least 50 million operations.

The variant identified by the letter A in the PSA6000 catalogue number uses an Intel Atom processor.

PFXPSA6AFD18W11 is equipped with Intel Atom Processor X Series X7425E with a base frequency of 1,50 GHz.

The processor has four cores and four threads, 6 MB of L2 cache and reaches a frequency of up to 3,40 GHz in Turbo Boost Mode.

PFXPSA6AFD18W11 features 8 GB DDR5 memory.

The Atom platform supports DDR5 memory up to 4800 MHz and In-Band ECC.

In this configuration, RAM is part of the factory device configuration and the manufacturer does not provide for user replacement or expansion.

The PFXPSA6AFD18W11 model number identifies a configuration with 128 GB M.2 SATA SSD system drive.

The main SSD1 slot uses M.2 Key M and supports Type 2280 or 2242 drives.

The panel also features additional SSD2 slot supporting M.2 SATA or PCIe drives, enabling storage capacity to be expanded according to application requirements.

Tip W11 unambiguously identifies the operating system of this variant.

PFXPSA6AFD18W11 is factory-equipped with Windows 11 IoT Enterprise 2024 LTSC 64-bit.

The Windows platform enables the panel to be used with visualisation software, data collection and analysis applications, and other compatible industrial programs.

PSA6000 is included on the current list of industrial computers supported by GP-Pro EX.

For the PFXPSA6AFD18W11 model, Pro-face indicates support from GP-Pro EX Ver. 5.01.000.

GP-Pro EX can run on PSA6000 computers through the WinGP environment. The required software and licences must be selected for the specific project configuration.

The panel features as many as 3 independent RJ45 Ethernet interfaces: ETH1, ETH2 and ETH3.

All support 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T.

This allows communication to be separated between the controller network, supervisory system and other Ethernet infrastructure without requiring all devices to use a single network segment.

PSA6000 retains classic serial communication interfaces often required when integrating with existing automation systems.

COM1 supports RS-232C, while COM2 can operate as RS-422 or RS-485. Both ports use 9-pin D-Sub connectors.

The transmission speed range is 2400–115200 bit/s. The interfaces are non-isolated.

PFXPSA6AFD18W11 has a total of 4 USB Type-A ports.

Two operate in the USB 3.1 Gen1, with the other two as USB 2.0.

The total maximum power available across all four USB Type-A ports is 6 W.

The panel features DisplayPort 1.2 Dual Mode DP++.

The interface supports a resolution of up to 4096 × 2304 px at 60 Hz, allowing the PSA6000 to work with an additional external monitor.

PSA6000 enables configuration expansion through additional slots available beneath the service cover.

In addition to the second SSD slot, there is slot M.2 Key E Type 2230 supporting the PCIe/USB 2.0 interface.

This allows the computer to be adapted for additional communication or hardware functions according to the manufacturer’s list of compatible expansions.

PFXPSA6AFD18W11 features a hardware TPM 2.0 security module.

The unit also uses UEFI BIOS and was designed as a modern industrial platform for Windows 11 IoT.

TPM can be used by operating system security features and applications according to the IT/OT infrastructure configuration.

PSA6000 can be conventionally installed in a cabinet door, operator console or machine enclosure.

The mounting cut-out for the 15,6″ Wide version measures 394 × 250 mm with a tolerance of +1/−0 mm.

The rear of the device also features VESA 100 × 100 mm, enabling the panel to be mounted on a compatible arm or bracket.

When correctly installed in a suitable enclosure, the front of the device provides IP66 protection rating.

The manufacturer also specifies front compliance with UL 50/50E Type 4X for indoor applications.

The rear of the computer has a protection rating of IP20.

PFXPSA6AFD18W11 is designed for direct power supply from a standard automation installation 24 V DC.

The permissible voltage range is 19,2–28,8 V DC.

Current PSA6000 documentation specifies a maximum power consumption for the 15,6-inch Atom configuration of 55 W, and 45 W without powering external devices.

PSA6000 uses natural fanless cooling.

With an airflow of 0,6 m/s, the permitted ambient temperature is 0…50°C. Without airflow, the manufacturer specifies a range of 0…40°C.

Pro-face officially identifies PFXPSA6AFD18W11 as the recommended model when migrating from older 15-inch widescreen SP5000 systems using SP-5700WCD and SP-5B41 Open Box.

PSA6000 integrates the display and computer in one enclosure, moving from the modular SP5000 Open Box design to a modern All-in-One Panel PC with Windows 11 IoT.

When modernising an existing machine, dimensional differences, interfaces, software and mounting method should be checked according to the manufacturer’s official Replacement Guide.
