Automationdirect Launches Durable Industrial Displays for Harsh Conditions
October 2, 2026
When standard monitors falter under harsh industrial conditions, specialized solutions become essential. AutomationDirect has developed two distinct series of industrial-grade displays designed to deliver reliable performance in the most demanding environments.
The ATLAS series industrial flat-panel LCD monitors are built to maintain seamless operation under severe environmental stresses. Their rugged construction and superior protection make them ideal visual information centers for challenging industrial settings.
Available in 15-inch, 17-inch, and 19-inch color TFT active matrix LCD configurations, the ATLAS series accommodates diverse spatial requirements. These size options balance information visibility with installation flexibility across various industrial applications.
A heavy-gauge steel chassis forms the foundation of each ATLAS display, while machined aluminum bezels with durable powder coating provide additional protection. This design withstands physical impacts common in industrial environments, safeguarding internal components.
Standard analog VGA and digital DVI input interfaces ensure compatibility with existing control systems. Some models offer additional connection options for more complex integration scenarios.
The displays support all VESA video modes up to 1280 x 1024 resolution at 75Hz, with 800:1 contrast ratio and 16.7 million color reproduction. This ensures clear, detailed imaging even in challenging lighting conditions.
Select models feature 5-wire analog resistive touchscreen technology with USB or RS-232 connectivity options, enhancing operational efficiency in interactive applications.
UL 508 and UL 1604 certifications qualify ATLAS displays for use in Class I Division 2, Class II Division 2, and Class III hazardous environments, making them suitable for oil, chemical, and pharmaceutical applications.
The C-more CTM series industrial LCD flat panels combine 10-point projected capacitive (PCAP) touch technology with industrial durability, offering intuitive human-machine interfaces for modern automation systems.
PCAP technology delivers high-sensitivity touch response, including glove-compatible operation. The precise control enhances efficiency in fast-paced production environments.
Available in 18-inch, 22-inch, 24-inch, and 27-inch configurations, all models feature LED backlighting and support 1920 x 1080 resolution at 60Hz for sharp, detailed imaging.
Standard VGA, HDMI, and USB Type-B inputs facilitate integration with various industrial control devices, supporting flexible system architectures.
With 16.7 million color capability, the displays render complex graphical interfaces and process visualizations with exceptional clarity and accuracy.
IP65-rated front panels resist dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, making the displays suitable for wet or dirty environments common in food processing and chemical industries.
UL61010 certification confirms the series meets rigorous electrical safety standards for industrial equipment.
The C-more series serves effectively in SCADA systems, Andon boards, and as interfaces for headless HMI configurations across various automation scenarios.
