Overview
The F2156E is a 15.6-inch 1920 × 1080 resistive HMI panel in the FUTURE Series 2 generation of the Advanced series. This page covers F2156E and F2156E2, which share the same display size and resolution.
Published data: 15.6-inch display · 1920 × 1080 · resistive touch · Quad-core ARM 1.8 GHz · 1 GB RAM · 8 GB flash.
The interface set is 1 Ethernet port, 2 serial ports and 1 USB host port.
Best-Fit Applications
Panels in this size class are used on machine tools, packaging and filling lines, textile and printing machinery, battery and solar production equipment, rubber and plastics machines, and lifting equipment. The deciding factors are the panel opening, the protocol the machine program expects and the port set the cabinet already uses.
A 15.6-inch panel suits operators who work close to the machine. Where the panel is read from a distance or shows dense process graphics, compare the larger sizes in the same generation before ordering.

Compatibility Checklist
- Compare the machine opening with the published 382 × 246 mm cut-out.
- List the protocols and connectors the cabinet uses and compare them with the published interface set: 1 Ethernet port, 2 serial ports and 1 USB host port.
- Check that the cabinet supplies DC 18 to 28 V to the panel.
- Confirm the panel works inside the published -10 to 60 °C range for the machine environment.
- Write down the configuration software and protocol the machine program uses.
Replacement and Upgrade Guidance
When a panel is replaced, the model code alone is not enough. Panels that share a display size and resolution still differ in interface options, memory, panel depth and certification, so the variant code has to match the cabinet.
Send the existing panel label, the panel opening measurements and photos of the cabinet wiring with the request. Every value published on this page comes from the reference specification table for the code.
Who Should Choose This Panel?
Choose the F2156E when the machine needs a 15.6-inch display at 1920 × 1080 and the cabinet already uses 1 Ethernet port, 2 serial ports and 1 USB host port.
Compare another model when the panel has to be larger, brighter, capacitive, or when the machine program expects an interface this group does not list. This group does not list Wi-Fi, 4G and CANopen.
