Industrial Monitor Spec Glossary
Industrial monitor specifications, explained.
IP65 / IP66 — ingress protection: dust-tight and protected against water jets (IP65) or powerful jets (IP66). The IronView front bezel is sealed to IP65.
NEMA 4 / 4X — a North American enclosure rating roughly equivalent to IP65/IP66; 4X adds corrosion resistance (stainless).
SXGA (5:4, 1280×1024) — the classic square-ish industrial resolution still used by many PLC/HMI systems.
Nits — screen brightness. Standard panels are ~250–350 nits; sunlight-readable panels reach ~1000 nits.
MTBF — mean time between failures; a measure of long-term reliability.
PCAP — projected-capacitive touch; multi-touch that works through gloves and water.
VESA — the standard mounting-hole pattern (e.g., 75×75 / 100×100 mm).
9–36V DC — wide-voltage input common in industrial and in-vehicle power.
