The Allen-Bradley 6181X-12TPXPDC is a 12-inch integrated display industrial computer designed for demanding applications in hazardous industrial environments. It is commonly used in sectors such as oil and gas, chemical plants, pharmaceuticals, and power generation, where rugged, certified computing solutions are required for monitoring and control tasks in potentially explosive atmospheres.
In such critical environments, the 6181X-12TPXPDC offers reliable operator interface and processing power, enabling real-time data visualization and control via its integrated touch display. It addresses challenges including harsh ambient conditions, stringent safety requirements, and continuity of operations in Class I Division 2 and Zone 2 hazardous locations. The computer provides operators and engineers the capacity to interact with complex control systems while complying with global standards for hazardous area equipment.
The 6181X-12TPXPDC belongs to the VersaView 1200XT family from Rockwell Automation, combining panel mountability with industrial-grade specifications such as resistance to vibration, shock, humidity, and wide temperature ranges. Its design features a 12.1-inch XGA (1024 x 768) color active matrix TFT flat panel with an analog resistive anti-glare touchscreen, optimized for glove use and dusty conditions.
Powered by an Intel Core Duo U2500 processor running at 1.2 GHz with 2 GB of DDR2 RAM, it supports intensive applications including SCADA, MES, and HMI software running on Windows XP Embedded. The computer comes equipped with 8 GB of compact flash storage, multiple USB and Ethernet ports, serial ports, and audio I/O, facilitating flexible connectivity and data exchange in rugged industrial networks.
The front bezel is aluminum, built to industrial standards with gasketed sealing, enabling NEMA 4X, 12, and IEC IP65 protection ratings—critical for washdown and contaminant-prone environments. The device operates reliably from -20 °C to +55 °C on the display side and up to +70 °C on the back side, making it suitable for a wide range of potentially explosive industrial locations worldwide.
