What is the PPC-6191C-RTAE?
The PPC-6191C-RTAE is a 19" configurable panel PC chassis manufactured by Advantech. It is designed as a platform for selectable Mini-ITX motherboards, allowing integrators and system builders to install their own compatible mainboard up to a 65W TDP processor. The chassis features a true-flat front panel with a 5-wire analog resistive touchscreen, IP65-rated front panel protection, and PCI/PCIe expansion slots. It is typically used in industrial automation, HMI (human-machine interface), and kiosk applications where a robust, touch-enabled display is required.
