Industrial HMI Touchscreens & Touch Panels

NoseDisplay supplies industrial HMI touchscreens and touch panels for OEM equipment, control cabinets and panel-mounted operator interfaces. This specialist page compares ER, MR and HR/HC series by verified screen size, touch technology, brightness, Ethernet availability and front-panel protection.

Use the series matrix below to shortlist a panel-mounted HMI, then confirm the PLC or host protocol, touch requirement, cutout, enclosure and operating environment with our engineering team. For the wider platform overview, visit our Industrial HMI display solutions.

Choose Your Industrial HMI Series

ER, MR, HR and HC are distinct HMI series. The matrix below is based on the January 2026 HMI specification workbook and catalog. Select the series around the required protection, touch technology and control integration; then confirm the exact model before ordering.

Choose the HMI Series That Fits Your Equipment

ER Series

ER is a compact, resistive-touch HMI for cost-conscious machines and control cabinets. Available in 4.3, 7.0 and 10.1 inches, it provides 300 cd/m² brightness, IP65 front protection and model-specific serial, USB or Type-C connectivity.

MR Series

MR is a general-purpose resistive-touch HMI for higher-brightness machines with network integration. Available in 4.3, 7.0 and 10.1 inches, it provides 400 cd/m², IP65 protection and model-specific Ethernet, CODESYS or wireless expansion.

HR Series

HR is a protected, resistive-touch HMI for demanding equipment front panels. Available in 7.0, 10.1 and 15.6 inches, it provides IP68 front protection; brightness, Ethernet, CODESYS and optional 4G/Wi-Fi capability must be confirmed by model.

HC Series

HC is a protected, high-voltage PCAP HMI for demanding equipment front panels. Available in 7.0, 10.1 and 15.6 inches, it provides IP68 front protection; brightness, Ethernet, CODESYS and optional 4G/Wi-Fi capability must be confirmed by model.

Touch, Interface & Mounting Decisions

Start with the operator interaction: resistive touch is available across ER, MR and HR models, while high-voltage PCAP is specific to selected HC models. Then confirm RS-232, RS-485, RS-422, Ethernet, USB or Type-C requirements. Panel mounting, cutout, front protection and the complete enclosure must be checked together. Cover lens, AG, AF and optical bonding are optional engineering support; see Touch & Cover Lens Integration.

Catalog & Related Controller

Read the Industrial HMI Catalog (PDF) for the cited ER, MR, HR and HC series. HD Box is a separate DIN35 rail HMI controller with HDMI output, not a touchscreen; Ethernet is standard and 4G/Wi-Fi configuration depends on model.

Industrial HMI Touchscreens FAQs

What is an industrial HMI touchscreen?

An industrial HMI touchscreen is a panel-mounted operator interface that combines a TFT display, touch input and control communication for equipment or control cabinets. The required screen size, protocol, protection and touch technology should be selected around the application, not as a one-size-fits-all platform.

Should I choose resistive or PCAP touch?

Resistive touch is used across ER, MR and HR configurations and is practical for many industrial operator panels. Selected HC models use high-voltage PCAP touch. The right choice depends on the user interaction, gloves, front-cover stack and selected HMI model.

Which industrial HMI models support Ethernet?

Ethernet is model-dependent. ER NE variants provide Ethernet; MR Ethernet availability varies by model; and HR/HC listed platforms include Ethernet. Confirm the exact PLC or host network requirement before selection.

What front-panel protection is available?

ER and MR HMI series have IP65 front-panel protection, while HR/HC series have IP68 front-panel protection. Rear protection and the complete enclosure design remain application-specific.

Can the touch panel or front cover be customized?

Yes. Touch-panel and front-cover engineering may include cover lens, AG or AF surface treatment and optical bonding where compatible with the selected HMI and project conditions. These are optional engineering services, not standard on every model.

What information is needed to select an HMI touchscreen?

Please share screen size and resolution, PLC or host protocol, touch method, front protection, mounting/cutout, operating environment and prototype or production quantity. This lets us confirm a suitable series and model.

Discuss Your Industrial HMI Project

Share the target screen size, PLC or host protocol, touch method, mounting or panel cutout, front protection, operating environment and expected quantity. Our team will help confirm the appropriate HMI series and model.
