🏭 MANY SCADAs. ONE STS INDUSTRIAL PANEL PC.
One rugged industrial hardware platform—configurable for multiple HMI and SCADA software environments.
Sundar Techno Solutions introduces the 21.5″ STS Industrial Panel PC for SCADA visualisation, machine control, production monitoring and industrial operator-station applications.
Whether your project uses Honeywell Experion, Ignition, AVEVA Plant SCADA, Siemens WinCC, Geo SCADA Expert, FactoryTalk View SE, Proficy iFIX, zenon, ICONICS GENESIS64 or VTScada, STS can propose suitable Panel PC hardware based on the software version, project architecture and processing requirements.
WHAT IS SCADA?
SCADA means Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. A SCADA system collects real-time information from PLCs, RTUs, instruments, sensors, drives, controllers and industrial equipment.
The collected information is presented through graphical process screens so authorised operators can:
✅ Monitor machines and industrial processes
✅ View temperature, pressure, level, flow and speed
✅ Start or stop authorised equipment
✅ Adjust permitted process setpoints
✅ View and acknowledge alarms
✅ Analyse real-time and historical trends
✅ Record production and equipment data
✅ Identify abnormal operating conditions
✅ Supervise geographically distributed installations
HMI means Human-Machine Interface. The STS touchscreen Panel PC becomes the physical operator interface on which the customer’s licensed HMI/SCADA application can run.
TEN MAJOR SCADA PLATFORMS AND THEIR BRAND OWNERS

5️⃣ ECOSTRUXURE GEO SCADA EXPERT
Brand owner: Schneider Electric
Designed primarily for telemetry and remote SCADA applications such as water networks, pipelines, power distribution and geographically dispersed infrastructure.
6️⃣ FACTORYTALK VIEW SITE EDITION
Brand owner: Rockwell Automation
Used for scalable HMI/SCADA applications, particularly in factories and production systems using Allen-Bradley and Rockwell Automation equipment.
7️⃣ PROFICY iFIX
Brand owner: GE Vernova
Used for industrial process visualisation, alarms, monitoring and control in manufacturing, power, water, utilities and process industries.
8️⃣ zenon
Developer/brand owner: COPA-DATA
Used in industrial and energy automation, pharmaceutical production, food and beverage, automotive manufacturing, utilities and infrastructure.
9️⃣ ICONICS GENESIS64
Brand owner: Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions—formerly ICONICS
Used for SCADA, HMI, smart buildings, energy monitoring, industrial automation, dashboards, analytics and digitalisation applications. Mitsubishi Electric acquired ICONICS, which was subsequently renamed Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions.
🔟 VTScada
Developer: Trihedral Engineering
Parent group: Delta Electronics
Used extensively for water and wastewater, oil and gas, utilities, remote telemetry, infrastructure and distributed industrial assets. Trihedral is a Delta Group company.
ONE PANEL PC—DIFFERENT SCADA ROLES
Depending on the project architecture and software licence, an STS Panel PC can be configured as:
🔹 Machine-level HMI
🔹 SCADA operator client
🔹 Standalone SCADA runtime station
🔹 Production-line monitoring terminal
🔹 Remote telemetry operator station
🔹 Industrial dashboard terminal
🔹 Engineering-cum-runtime workstation
🔹 Replacement for an obsolete industrial operator PC
For a large plant, the main SCADA server, historian and database should normally run on appropriately sized server hardware. The Panel PC would usually function as an operator client or HMI terminal.
TYPICAL 21.5″ STS PANEL PC SPECIFICATIONS
🖥️ 21.5″ Full HD, 1920 × 1080 display
👆 Projected capacitive touchscreen
⚙️ Intel Core i5/Core i7 processor options
💾 16–32 GB RAM
💽 512 GB–1 TB industrial SSD
🌐 Dual Gigabit Ethernet LAN
🔌 Optional RS-232/422/485 ports
🛡️ IP65-protected front panel
❄️ Fanless industrial construction
🔧 Panel-mount and VESA-mount options
⚡ Industrial DC power-input options
⏱️ Designed for continuous industrial operation
The exact processor, RAM, SSD, operating system and communication interfaces must be selected according to:
• SCADA brand and exact version
• Runtime, client, engineering or standalone role
• Number of tags and connected devices
• PLC and communication protocols
• Scan and data-logging rates
• Number and complexity of graphics
• Alarm and historical-data volume
• Database and reporting requirements
• Cybersecurity software
• Redundancy and availability requirements
HOW IS SCADA INTEGRATED WITH AN STS PANEL PC?
The customer, OEM or system integrator installs the licensed SCADA runtime and project on a suitably configured STS Panel PC.
The Panel PC can connect to PLCs, RTUs, drives, sensors and controllers through supported interfaces such as:
✅ Gigabit Ethernet
✅ OPC UA/OPC DA
✅ Modbus TCP
✅ RS-232/422/485
✅ Modbus RTU
✅ USB communication devices
✅ Protocol converters and gateways
✅ Industrial Ethernet networks
Dual LAN ports can help separate the PLC or machine network from the plant-level network, subject to the approved OT-network architecture.

WHY AN INDUSTRIAL PANEL PC?
Unlike an ordinary office computer, an industrial Panel PC integrates the display, touchscreen and computer into one rugged enclosure.
Its fanless construction removes the cooling fan—a common point of failure in dusty industrial environments. The metal enclosure, industrial SSD, multiple communication interfaces and IP65-protected front make it suitable for control panels, machines and shop-floor installations.
