HelloJeetu, Maybe you need to breakdown the word ruggedness into some parameters (e.g. IP, temperature, humidity, corrosion, vibration and shock resistance). Later on you canselect the appropriate HMI. [quote user="Jeetu;DAE"]If, as my experience, panels are more strong, Can any one tell me the reasons behind it. IMHO, There's no particular reason and no one can say it's 100% true. I've seen IPCs with crashed hard disks and dead motherboards but on the other hand I've seen many dead operator panels (keys stopped working, dead RS485 interfaces and black out screens). However, I must admit that the frequency of IPCs failure was a bit higher than operator panels but again this is a personal experience that differs from one to another. Maybe the old IPCs were not quite tough against vibration but maybe it's different now. At the end the hard disks will give you more memory but they are still a weak point when it comes to vibration and shock resistance. Best regards, H-H

Hello,
The question here which should be asked for each case of failure of these IPCs. What was the reason of damage?
In any case, what I wanted to say, if you would like to select an HMI, first identify your requiremets and then see which panel will be able to do your requiremets. Then if you would like it more rugged, go for SIPLUS solution. Hope this helps.
