Product Details

The XYCOM 8503 is a discontinued flat panel industrial workstation from the XYCOM 8500 series, designed as an all-in-one operator interface for legacy factory and process automation monitoring and control. It adopts a compact flat panel design instead of bulky CRT, saving cabinet depth and suitable for control cabinets with limited installation space. This unit is equipped with industrial-grade processor, supporting classic operating systems including Windows 95, Windows NT and Windows 2000, compatible with mainstream SCADA software, HMI configuration software and common industrial protocols such as Modbus, DF1, DH485 and EtherNet/IP. It provides optional analog resistive touchscreen or membrane keypad for on-site operation, and the touchscreen supports glove operation for workshop use. The front panel meets NEMA 4 and IP65 protection rating after standard panel mounting, offering reliable protection against dust, water splashes and oil mist in harsh production environments. It carries rich onboard I/O interfaces including multiple RS232/RS485 serial ports, Ethernet port, USB ports, parallel printer port and PS/2 interface, which can connect directly with PLCs, variable frequency drives, barcode scanners and serial measuring instruments. It reserves ISA or PCI expansion slots for users to install additional communication cards and fieldbus cards to match different legacy control system requirements. It supports standard panel mounting, and the cabinet cutout size matches other 8500 series workstations for direct drop-in replacement, reducing mechanical modification work during maintenance. The built-in hardware watchdog timer can automatically reset the system to avoid program halt during long-time unattended operation. This legacy unit is mainly supplied as spare replacement parts for existing automation systems, and users need to back up the original system image and HMI project files before hardware replacement. A conformal coated version is optional for high humidity, dusty and mildly corrosive industrial sites. This model is widely used in chemical batch control, oil & gas skid operation, wastewater treatment, food and beverage manufacturing and old production line renovation projects.

This industrial flat panel workstation adopts heavy-duty aluminum front panel and industrial rear housing. It accepts 100-240VAC wide voltage power supply. LED indicators display power status, hard disk activity and network communication status for convenient on-site inspection. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C, storage temperature ranges from -40°C to 85°C, relative humidity 5% to 95% non-condensing. It complies with industrial shock, vibration and EMC standards and has obtained UL and CE certifications. It supports system image backup and offline configuration cloning for fast recovery after hardware replacement.

This XYCOM 8503 flat panel industrial workstation is widely applied in compact process skid operator stations, packaging machine local control interfaces, remote pumping station monitoring and legacy automation system upgrade projects. It integrates display, touch or keypad operation, industrial computing and expansion capability into one thin unit, which is an ideal upgrade substitute for old CRT workstations. As a reliable discontinued industrial workstation spare part, the XYCOM 8503 retains original field wiring and control programs, and effectively reduces the renovation cost of on-site HMI workstation replacement.
