Eaton XV-303-15-C00-A00-1D Product Introduction
1. Product Description
The Eaton XV-303-15-C00-A00-1D is a mid-to-high-end 15-inch industrial Human-Machine Interface (HMI) engineered for large-scale centralized automation systems, where comprehensive process visibility, multi-controller integration, and reliable operation in harsh industrial environments are non-negotiable requirements. It is purpose-built for scenarios including multi-module manufacturing lines (e.g., automotive component assembly with 10–15 workcells), large-scale process control (e.g., chemical plants with mixing, distillation, and purification stages), and smart factory dashboards (e.g., real-time production monitoring across multiple workshops with KPI visualization).
As a flagship centralized solution in Eaton’s HMI portfolio, this model differentiates itself with its 15-inch large-format IPS panel (enabling wide-angle viewing by 3–5 operators simultaneously), dual redundant Gigabit Ethernet ports (eliminating single points of failure for critical data transmission), and reinforced mechanical design (resisting dust, oil mist, and high vibration). It seamlessly integrates with Eaton’s high-tier PLCs (e.g., XC-CPU601, XC-CPU801) and third-party enterprise-grade controllers (e.g., Siemens S7-1500, Rockwell ControlLogix 5570), making it the preferred choice for manufacturers transitioning from distributed small HMIs to a unified control interface—reducing operational complexity and improving cross-process coordination. Whether deployed in heavy machinery factories, oil & gas auxiliary facilities, or municipal water treatment plants, it maintains consistent performance under extreme conditions like temperature fluctuations (-15°C to 65°C), exposure to corrosive gases, and 24/7 continuous operation.

3. Product Specifications
3.1 Hardware Architecture
- Display & Touch Module: Features a 15-inch IPS (In-Plane Switching) panel with 1280×1024 SXGA resolution—optimized for displaying multi-window process data (e.g., 6 workcell statuses, real-time KPI dashboards, and alarm logs simultaneously) and high-detail 2D/3D animations (e.g., production line flow paths, equipment internal structures with cross-sectional views). The 550cd/m² adjustable brightness ensures visibility in direct sunlight (e.g., outdoor oil rig control rooms) or dark environments (e.g., electronics cleanrooms), while the 1800:1 contrast ratio delivers sharp text for small parameter readouts (e.g., component tolerance values of ±0.01mm, chemical concentration levels with 4 decimal places). The IPS panel’s 178° wide viewing angle eliminates color distortion for operators standing at any position around the screen—critical for shift handovers or collaborative troubleshooting. The PCAP touchscreen supports 10-point simultaneous operation, enabling intuitive gestures like pinch-to-zoom (for trend graphs spanning 30+ days), drag-and-drop (for recipe editing), and multi-finger rotation (for 3D model viewing)—with a <8ms response time and ±1mm positioning accuracy. Its 7H anti-scratch safety glass resists damage from tools or heavy impacts, while the anti-glare/anti-fingerprint coating reduces reflections and smudging in high-touch, bright environments.
- Processing & Storage Core: Equipped with a 1.8GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor paired with 4GB DDR3 RAM—designed to handle compute-intensive tasks in large-scale automation, such as real-time data acquisition (150+ variables), video streaming from 6–8 machine vision cameras (for quality inspection across multiple workcells), and complex control logic (e.g., cascading PID loops for temperature/pressure/flow regulation across interconnected process stages). The 32GB industrial-grade eMMC Flash (operating range: -30°C to 80°C) provides secure storage for 1,000,000+ historical data points, 300+ process recipes, and dual-image firmware (for fail-safe updates)—with built-in Error Correction Code (ECC) and wear leveling to prevent data corruption and extend lifespan. A CompactFlash (CF) card slot (up to 128GB) extends storage for long-term logging (e.g., 12 months of hourly production metrics) or large-format assets (e.g., equipment maintenance videos, 3D part diagrams, and operator training materials).
