Application
SIMATIC IPC BX-32A provides machine, plant and control cabinet builders with a high-performance, compact PC platform for use at machine or process level, or in the industrial environment for:
- Measuring and checking, open-loop and closed-loop control of process and machine data
- Acquisition, further processing and visualization of data
- All applications at the machine level, created in C/C++ or with Software Controller/WinCC RT Advanced, which require rugged, ultra-compact IPCs with high computing power
- Additional new applications such as shipbuilding, building automation, water treatment
The application spectrum ranges from automation computers fully integrated in TIA to C/C++-based automation solutions and all the way to “standalone” applications for general IT applications.
SIMATIC IPC BX-32A has the CE marking for use in industrial applications as well as in domestic, business and commercial environments. It can therefore also be used in building automation systems or in public facilities.
Due to the fanless design and use of an SSD, there are no rotating parts, which increases system availability.
The SIMATIC IPC BX-32A Advantage
High data processing speed for high productivity:
- Up to Intel® Xeon®, fanless
- DDR4 memory technology up to 32 GB
Maximum compactness and ruggedness for use directly on the machine:
- Low mounting depth, ambient temperature up to 50 °C
- Front portrait mounting as second standard mounting position
- 256 GB or 512 GB solid-state drive (SSD)
High degree of industrial functionality and flexibility for implementing the embedded solution
- 2 x LAN 10/100/1000 Mbps connections
- PROFINET interface onboard
- 4 x high-speed USB 3.2 Gen2 ports; up to 4 serial interfaces (optional)
- Flexible installation and mounting options (DIN rail, wall, portrait mounting)
- Easy expandability (1 x PCIe slot, 1 x M.2 slot)
- On-off switch
High system availability in order to reduce the risk of potential failures and maintenance costs:
- Maintenance-free since no rotating parts (fans, hard disks) and operation without battery possible
- System-tested SIMATIC Software
High investment security in order to reduce engineering costs:
- Long-term availability: Service and support period of 8 to 10 years after market launch
