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.
