Open letter on Collaborative Engineering
Much has been pronounced about open architecture, open networking, open automation, seamless integration and the like: collaboration is the key to future proofing efficient and effective manufacturing
Modular iPCs have sophisticated internal diagnostics that warn users when environmental parameters are approaching their limits.
They also feature a patented system of construction that makes it easy to remove key components such as hard drives and power supplies as an aid to fast and easy maintenance.
For applications where modularity is not required, Magelis Compact iPCs on the second step of the new range offer an outstanding price/performance ratio.
All-in-one touchscreen products, they are available with screen sizes of 8.4, 12.1 and 15.1inches.
All versions feature exceptionally compact construction together with easy installation and set up, making them an ideal choice for machine builders.
Where users have requirement that involve reader/browser PC nodes, or running client applications such as Schneider Electric's new Vijeo Citect SCADA platform, Magelis Smart iPCs - the third step in the new range - are an attractive option.
These thin-client web-browser iPCs use the Windows XPe operating system and can be supplied with 8.4, 12.1 and 15.1inch touchscreens.
Since they use no rotating components, such as hard disks, floppy drives or CD drives, they offer very fast booting, and can be used in even the harshest of environments.
On the fourth and final step of Schneider Electric new iPC range are Magelis i-Display flatscreen monitors with touchscreen interface.
Offered in 15 and 19inch versions, the latter with SXGA 1280 x 1024 pixel resolution, they are suitable for connection to any PC that has either a VGA or DVI interface to provide a ruggedised front-end display.
