Emerson A6370D/DP Industrial Display

The Emerson A6370D/DP is a high-performance industrial display specifically engineered for use with DeltaV operator workstations. It provides a reliable and clear interface for process operators to monitor and interact with control systems, whether in a central control room or an on-site equipment room.

Display and Touch Technology

The A6370D/DP features a 17-inch TFT active matrix LCD with 1280 x 1024 (SXGA) resolution and 16.7 million colors, delivering crisp text and detailed graphics. The DP variant includes a resistive touch screen that responds to gloved hand or stylus input, making it suitable for industrial environments where operators may wear protective gear. The display offers wide viewing angles (160° horizontal/140° vertical) and a brightness of 300 cd/m² with automatic backlight dimming.

Construction and Environmental Durability

Housed in a rugged sheet-metal chassis with a NEMA 4X / IP66-rated bezel, the A6370D/DP resists dust, water jets, and corrosive agents. It operates reliably in temperatures from 0°C to 50°C and can withstand shock and vibration per IEC 60068-2 standards. The display supports panel mounting or VESA arm attachment, offering flexible installation options.

Connectivity and Integration

The unit provides VGA and DVI-D inputs, ensuring compatibility with DeltaV workstations and standard PCs. It also features USB ports for touch screen interface and downstream peripherals. The A6370D/DP includes on-screen display (OSD) controls for brightness, contrast, and geometry adjustment, which can be locked to prevent unauthorized changes.

Applications

This display is ideal for continuous monitoring of process graphics, alarm summaries, and trend charts in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation. Its touch capability allows operators to navigate screens quickly, acknowledge alarms, and adjust setpoints directly.

Reliability and Compliance

Designed for long service life, the A6370D/DP has a backlight half-life of 50,000 hours. It meets FCC Class A, CE, and UL 60950-1 safety standards, ensuring electromagnetic compatibility and operator safety.

Conclusion

The Emerson A6370D/DP industrial display combines optical clarity, ruggedness, and intuitive touch operation to enhance operator effectiveness in DeltaV-based control rooms. It stands as a reliable visual gateway to the process, built to withstand the rigors of industrial environments.
