Compatible programming software
The UL variant of the Full HD 15-inch panel with resistive touch: the Kinco F2156E2(UL) carries the UL marking for the USA and Canada. 1920 × 1080 pixels, glove-capable operation, two separate networks — technically identical to the F2156E2.
🏭 Typical applications
Network separation with gigabit: LAN0 at 10/100/1000 Mbit/s for the upper-level network, LAN1 at 10/100 for the machine network — no gateway, no route through corporate IT.
Wet areas and mandatory gloves: resistive touch at Full HD — food, chemicals, cleaning cycles with foam.
New machines with Full HD visualisation: overview, alarms and trends at the same time, plus symbolic tags imported straight from the TIA Portal.
Remote access and MES integration: OPC UA server and client, MQTT and built-in VPN — the data goes upstream with no additional hardware in the cabinet.
🖥️ Display and performance
1920 × 1080 pixels on 15.6 inches, 1000:1 contrast and 89° viewing angle stability in all four directions — the image stays colour-accurate even from below or from the side. That is the difference to the F2156E, whose panel drops off at 85° vertically. The quad-core at 1.8 GHz with 1 GB RAM keeps pages with many live values fluid.
Resolution: 1920 × 1080 pixels (Full HD, 16:9)
Brightness: 300 cd/m² | Contrast: 1000:1 | Viewing angle: 89° / 89° / 89° / 89°
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 (kapazitiv, sonst identisch).
🔌 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 F2156E2. 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 F2156E2 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.
💡 F2156E2, F2156E or F2156E2-PX
F2156E2: 2 × Ethernet, resistive, 3 × COM, 89° viewing angle all round
F2156E: 1 × Ethernet, resistive, 2 × COM — cheaper
F2156E2-PX: like the F2156E2 but with capacitive glass touch and multi-touch
F2156E2 MAX: like the F2156E2 but 64 GB flash and 2 GB RAM — for trend archives and recipe management
🌐 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.
