Compatible programming software
12.1 inches with 1280 × 800 pixels, a metal housing and a 1200:1 contrast ratio — the Kinco F2121E is the mid-range of the F2 series for plants that need more display area than 10 inches but no second network port.
🏭 Typical applications
Process visualisation with trend curves: 1280 × 800 and 1200:1 contrast show several curves stacked without axis labels blurring.
Control panel on a support arm: VESA 75 × 75 mm allows mounting on a swivel arm — the metal housing carries the load and shields against interference.
Serial peripherals in mid-sized plants: three COM ports at 12 inches, plus the shortest lead time in the mid-range.
Mounting close to drives: galvanically isolated power supply plus protective PCB coating — for cabinets with high interference levels.
🖥️ Display and performance
1280 × 800 pixels on 12.1 inches gives a pixel density at which small process values and axis labels in trend charts stay sharp. The 1200:1 contrast ratio is the highest in the 12-inch class and keeps black looking black even under stray light. At 37 mm mounting depth the F2121E is around 12 mm shallower than the F2121E2.
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: 1 × 10/100 Mbit/s, RJ45
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)
💡 F2121E or F2121E2
Technically identical except for two points: the F2121E has one Ethernet port, the F2121E2 has two (LAN0 gigabit). And at 37 mm the F2121E is around 12 mm shallower than the F2121E2 at 49 mm — an argument for tight cabinet doors.
🌐 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
