Siemens launches ultra compact industrial PCs with new Intel Atom processors

The Siemens Industry Automation Division is extending its range of embedded industrial computers to include a new product line of particularly compact and energy-saving PCs in the nano-format.

The product line starts with two basic designs and a number of different versions: compact Nanobox PCs with versatile installation options and Nanopanel PCs with integral touchscreens of 7" or larger. At the core of the Simatic IPC227D Nanobox PCs and the Simatic HMI IPC277D Nanopanel PCs are the latest generation of Intel Atom processors.

The Nano IPCs are designed for maintenance-free, 24-hour service even when subjected to high temperatures, vibration, shocks and electromagnetic interference. The units are suitable for simple control, visualisation and communication tasks and can also be used as data loggers in areas such as machine building, traffic control, building automation systems or energy transmission.

Ready-to-run packages comprising both computers and software allow the units to be put into service immediately. In recognition of its innovative product design, the Simatic IPC227D Nanobox PC has received the famous iF product design award.
