Protection level of industrial control screen

Protection level of industrial control screen

The protection level (IP level) of industrial control screen is an important indicator to measure its stability and reliability in harsh industrial environments. The IP level is formulated by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and uses two numbers to indicate the protection ability of the device against solid foreign objects (such as dust) and liquids (such as water).

Dustproof level: The first number ranges from 0 to 6. The higher the number, the stronger the protection ability. For example, IP6X means completely dustproof and dust is not allowed to enter.

Waterproof level: The second number ranges from 0 to 9. The higher the number, the stronger the waterproof ability. For example, IPX7 means that the device can be immersed in water for a short time without damage.


In practical applications, the commonly used IP levels of industrial control screens include:

IP65: completely dustproof, can prevent low-pressure water spray from any direction, suitable for ordinary workshops.

IP67: completely dustproof, can be immersed in water for a short time, suitable for humid or dusty environments.

IP68: completely dustproof, can be immersed in water for a long time, suitable for underwater operations or special environments.

Choosing the right IP level depends on the specific use environment. For example:

In the food processing and medical industries, IP66 or IP67 rated displays are often selected for easy cleaning and disinfection.

In construction and heavy industry, IP65 to IP67 rated displays may be required to protect the equipment from dust and water.

In outdoor or extremely humid environments, IP67 rated displays can provide better protection.

In short, understanding and selecting the IP rating suitable for specific industrial applications can significantly improve the performance and durability of the equipment and ensure stable operation in various complex and harsh industrial scenarios.
