HMI Systems Reinforce Industrial Cybersecurity at the Edge
The TPC-B520 and TPC-B300 human-machine interface (HMI) systems developed by Advantech have received IEC 62443-4-2 Verification of Compliance (VOC) certification from Bureau Veritas. They're the company's first HMI systems to achieve compliance with this international cybersecurity standard, addressing industrial security threats while enabling customers to meet global regulatory requirements.
Strengthening operational security across smart manufacturing and digital factories, the IEC 62443-4-2 cybersecurity standard for Industrial Automation and Control Systems defines the technical requirements for robust cybersecurity protection.
Both the TPC-B520 and TPC-B300 have modular designs to flexibly handle various industrial environment requirements while enhancing hardware specifications and cybersecurity protection. Features include support for high-brightness/slim-bezel touch panels ranging from 12.1 to 23.8 inches.
The TPC-B300 has an Intel Atom X6425E processor, while the TPC-B520 uses the 13th-gen Intel Core processors i5 and i7, with an optional TPM 2.0 security module and secure boot protection mechanisms. Among other features are IP66-rated front-panel protection and an operational temperature range from –20 to 60°C. I/O expansion capabilities (LAN/COM/USB) include optional Wi-Fi or LTE modules.
The systems leverage security technologies such as Intel Platform Trust Technology, Intel AES-NI encryption instruction set acceleration, and Intel Boot Guard technology. These help meet IEC 62443-4-2 standard requirements for authentication, data protection, and system integrity while reducing the complexity of system integration and certification processes.
