In an industrial facility, early visibility of fire or hazardous-gas conditions can help operators respond quickly and follow the site’s emergency procedures. A Fire and Gas (F&G) system uses field detectors to identify conditions such as combustible or toxic gas leaks, smoke, or flame. The detectors send signals to an **F&G controller**, which processes the inputs and activates the responses configured for that system.

An operator workstation can make this information easier to view and act on. The **STS fanless industrial box PC** can serve as the computer for an F&G **operator HMI, monitoring, diagnostics, and event logging application**.

### How the application can work

**Fire and gas detectors → F&G controller → Operator HMI on the STS box PC**

The detectors sense a condition in the field. The F&G controller processes the signals and manages the configured safety response. The box PC can run the application that presents system status, alarms, diagnostics, and event history to operators or maintenance personnel.

Depending on the selected software and system design, the workstation may help users:

View detector and system status

Display alarms and event messages

Review alarm history and event logs

Monitor system diagnostics and communication status

Support maintenance, troubleshooting, and commissioning

Provide a local operator interface in a control room or equipment room

**Important:** The PC is shown as a supervisory workstation. It does not replace the F&G controller or the certified safety logic. The controller and system must be selected, configured, and approved for the site’s safety requirements.

### Where a fanless box PC may be used

With suitable F&G software, interfaces, and system engineering, an industrial box PC may support monitoring and operator-interface applications in:

• Oil and gas facilities, including refineries and processing plants

• LNG terminals, gas storage, and gas distribution facilities

• Offshore platforms, FPSOs, and marine support facilities

• Tank farms, terminals, and pipeline or compressor stations

• Chemical and petrochemical plants

• Power plants, boiler houses, and utility facilities

• Ports, shipyards, and industrial workshops

• Other facilities where fire and hazardous-gas events are monitored through an F&G system

The exact application depends on the F&G controller, software, communication protocols, site network, and project requirements.

### How the STS fanless box PC adds value

A supervisory computer may need to communicate with multiple devices while running the site’s HMI or monitoring software. The fanless STS box PC shown in the poster is specified with:

**Intel Core i5-1240P, 12th Gen**

**16 GB DDR4 RAM and 512 GB SSD**

**2 × LAN**

**Up to 6 × COM and 6 × USB**

**VGA and HDMI**

**Windows 11 Pro or Linux**

**Fanless industrial design**

The available serial and Ethernet interfaces can be useful when the project requires connections to controllers, instruments, or other industrial equipment. The precise port standards and supported protocols must be confirmed for the selected configuration. VGA and HDMI allow connection to compatible local displays, while the SSD provides local storage for the operating system, application, and project data.

### Why consider STS?

Sundar Techno Solutions helps customers select and configure industrial computing products around their application requirements. For an F&G monitoring project, that may include reviewing the required operating system, software environment, display connections, serial and LAN interfaces, mounting, and installation conditions.

We can work with system integrators, OEMs, panel builders, and industrial customers to identify a suitable computer configuration for their project. Product selection and approvals should always be checked against the actual site specification.

**STS is based in Bengaluru and supports project requirements across India**, including industrial hubs such as Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Delhi NCR, Kolkata, Coimbatore, Kochi, and other locations.
