In many areas of Industry 4.0, automation and high-performance IT infrastructures, like for IoT systems, compact DIN rail, and embedded PCs are indispensable elements that are used as gateways or for local process management. With the newly developed DRPC-W Series, a functional model series is available that has been optimized for high performance as well as efficient thermal cooling. It is suitable for uninterrupted operation 24/7/365 and, thanks to its high energy efficiency, ensures a low cost load with rapid amortization of investments.
Modern Intel CPU on 3.5'' SBC
The DRPC-W Series uses a slim 3.5'' SBC board with an SoC processor to realize a compact and robust design. Several variants are available, ranging from an Intel Celeron N5105 Quad Core CPU with 2.90 GHz to an i3-1115G4 Dual Core and an Intel Core i7-1185G7e with eight threads and 4.40 GHz peak clock. Due to their extensive scalability, the models of the DRPC-W Series can be optimally designed for different applications - a feature that is supported by the use of variable backplates with different I/O interfaces. In addition, the industrial embedded PCs allow individualization of the hardware including storage media and interfaces through expansion slots in M.2 and thus support, for example, mobile Internet via WWAN in 5G.
Rugged, fanless design ensures long life expectancy
The DRPC-W Series is designed to operate in harsh environments and operates over a wide temperature range of .-20° Celsius to +60° Celsius without active cooling or supply of fresh air. Placement in outdoor enclosures is possible, as is tight mounting of numerous units on DIN-rail top-hat rails. Although designed as headless servers for process management and IoT gateways, the DRPC-W Series also supports graphical output via Triple Independent View for H2M interfaces. The combination of a rugged design with modern hardware and flexible I/O makes the Industrial Embedded PC suitable for a wide range of tasks, the most important of which include IoT applications, process management and automation, and SCADA interfaces.
