Monitor 6176M Repair

The 6176M monitor series is a series of standard industrial monitors offered in several different models that are made by Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation. Generally, 6176M monitors are used for systems with moderate demands but they meet most of the requirements for shock, vibration, and excessive temperatures in industrial situations. These monitors are built for operation within a 0 to 45 degrees Celsius (32 to 113 degrees Fahrenheit) temperature range and they can withstand 15 G of shock and 1 G of vibration when operating. The 6176M monitors can have a NEMA type 4/12 (IEC IP 66) enclosure rating. The industrial monitors from the 6176M series are available with aluminum or plastic bezels and with a display diagonal of 15 to 19 inches (381 to 483 millimeters). The TFT color display supports resolutions of up to 1024 x 768 pixels with 16.7 million color graphics. The luminance of the display ranges from 300 to 350 candela per square meter and its contrast ratio is 400:1 or 800:1, depending on the model.

The maximum response time of the monitors is 3 to 4 milliseconds for a fall and 6 to 12 milliseconds for a rise. The backlights can last up to 50,000 hours if the monitors are used in environments with normal temperatures. The 6176M monitors have a resistive antiglare touchscreen and inputs such as the RS-232 and USB ports. Besides that, the monitors have analog video ports such as DVI and VGA ports, and they can be connected to either AC or DC power sources. The 6176M series monitors support VESA mounting and they can be mounted directly on the panel, put in a rack, or mounted on a bench or tabletop. The overall weight of the monitors from this series depends on the mounting base that is used, so the weight can range from 3.1 to 7.5 kilograms (6.82 to 16.5 pounds). The 6176M monitors have available drives for almost any version of the Windows operating system from Windows Server 2003 to Windows 10 IoT Enterprise. However, the monitor does not support the Linux operating system.
