Compatible programming software
The UL variant of the 12.1-inch panel: the Kinco F2121E2(UL) carries the UL marking for the USA and Canada. IPS panel with 1280 × 800 pixels in a metal housing, two separate networks, three serial interfaces.
🏭 Typical applications
Network separation in the mid-range: LAN0 with gigabit and LAN1 at 10/100 separate machine and office network with no separate gateway.
Process visualisation with trend curves: 1280 × 800 and 1200:1 contrast show several curves stacked without labels blurring.
Serial peripherals as well: three COM ports for drives, scales and Modbus RTU nodes in parallel with Ethernet.
Data logging in the device: data logger, real-time clock with NTP sync and recipe management keep running locally — even when the network is down.
🖥️ Display and performance
1280 × 800 pixels on a 12.1" IPS panel with 1200:1 contrast — the highest contrast figure in the 12-inch class. Axis labels in trend charts and small process values stay sharp, black looks black even under stray light. Viewing angle stability 85° in all directions.
Resolution: 1280 × 800 pixels (16:10)
Brightness: 400 cd/m² | Contrast: 1200:1 | Viewing angle: 85° / 85° / 85° / 85°
Touch: 4-wire resistive, 4H surface hardness
CPU: Quad-Core ARM 1,8 GHz
Memory: 1 GB RAM + 8 GB eMMC flash
Real-time clock: built in, NTP-synchronisable
🧤 Resistive touch: for gloves and damp environments
The 4-wire resistive touch responds to mechanical pressure. It works with safety gloves, with wet fingers and with any stylus — exactly where capacitive panels give up.
💡 No multi-touch, no swipe gestures. If you need pinch-to-zoom in trend charts, choose Kinco F2156E2-PX (15,6", kapazitiv, Full HD).
🔌 Interfaces and connectivity
Ethernet LAN0: 10/100/1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit), RJ45
Ethernet LAN1: 10/100 Mbit/s, RJ45 — second independent port for separated networks
COM0 (3-in-1): RS-232, RS-485 and RS-422 in one DB9 connector — one of them usable at a time
COM1: RS-485/RS-422
COM2: RS-232
USB: 1 × USB host (stick, keyboard, barcode scanner, webcam) + 1 × USB slave (program download)
🇺🇸 UL for export to the USA and Canada
This is the UL-marked order variant of the F2121E2. Technically identical to the standard model — the difference is the marking your machine needs for the North American market.
UL file: E344264, holder Kinco Electric (Shenzhen) Ltd.
USA: UL category NRAQ — Programmable Controllers
Canada: UL category NRAQ7 — Programmable Controllers Certified for Canada
Standard: UL 61010-1 (manufacturer specification)
💡 For machines staying in Europe the F2121E2 is sufficient — same technology, lower price.
⚠️ When planning the installation, check which marking your customer or the accepting insurer actually requires. We are happy to send you the UL file as evidence in advance.
📦 Availability: orderable here in the shop like any other article. We keep the UL variants in stock — if one is temporarily unavailable, the delivery time extends accordingly.
💡 F2121E2 or F2121E
Technically identical except for two points: the F2121E2 has two Ethernet ports (LAN0 gigabit), the F2121E only one. In exchange the F2121E is around 12 mm shallower at 37 mm versus 49 mm — an argument for tight cabinet doors, and it has a shorter lead time.
🌐 Protocols and PLC compatibility
If you need to merge data from different sources or visualise plants across vendor boundaries, the drivers shipped with Kinco DToolsPro do it directly — no separate communication processor, no licence fees. The software is free.
Modbus RTU (client and server) via RS-485/RS-422 — the standard for compact machines and legacy installations
Modbus TCP (client and server) via Ethernet — for networked controllers
OPC UA server and client — for cross-vendor networking and MES integration
MQTT publisher and subscriber, BACnet IP, NTP
Siemens TIA Portal: symbolic tags can be imported directly — no manual retyping of addresses
Vendor drivers (selection): Siemens S7-200/200 SMART/300/400/1200/1500 and LOGO!, Beckhoff TwinCAT, Mitsubishi MELSEC FX/FX5U/Q/iQ-R, Omron CJ/CS/CP/NJ/NX, Allen Bradley CompactLogix, Schneider Modicon, Delta DVP, Inovance, Panasonic FP, Xinje XC/XD/XL, CODESYS V3 — over 60 drivers in total
Remote access: built-in VPN function, EdgeAccess 2.0 for remote access and PLC pass-through
💡 Projects from the predecessor software DTools can be imported into DToolsPro.
