sanyc Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 What could be the reasons for a 2 year old 15.6" Unistream to fail its touchscreen? The PLC operates in a food production facility in an electrical panel, nothing out of the ordinary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanT Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Hi Define the failure more explicitly. Power failure? Touch Screen scratched and struck on an X-Y point? Moisture Ingress? DanT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 kratmel Posted November 25, 2020 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 As follows from my observations - the main problem is the appearance of condensation in the panel due to lack of temperature control in the control box. Also, a person in such productions very often washes everything around and water gets into incorrectly installed panels. Sometimes I see that the panel when turning on in the morning has fogging in the middle - this is the first sign that there will be problems in the future if you do not take appropriate measures. I only got one panel 7' with a faulty board (faulty touch panel controller). Unfortunately, I could not establish the reasons why it stopped working. The touch panel itself was not damaged (tested by connecting to a working board). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanyc Posted November 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 The failure is not responsive touchscreen. Kratmel's reply makes the most sense. Did you manage to buy a new touch panel controller so that you fixed the whole Unistream ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is small 1.5x2mm bga chip. It is not possible to simple replace chip . Reworking hardware and some expirience needed. Than maybe you can ask local distributor for base board replacement (if it possible). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swervomotor Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 We had this issue on a 15.6", non-responsive intermittent response. When you touched the screen at different places the x,y touch coordinates would not change. The recommendation was to loosen the screws and remove any screen cover but that did not fix. Ended up returning it under RMA and it was defective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
