Automation PC 3100

Published on : Tuesday 30-11--0001

The Automation PC 3100 combines the advantages of a compact system with the performance of the latest Core i-series processors. To top it off, they also offer added flexibility. Up to two interface cards can be added for additional options.

The processors are based on Intel's latest generation of Core-i technology and can be scaled over the full range – from Celeron to Core i7. This allows computing power to be tuned perfectly to the application at hand.

 

All variants are fanless, so the Automation PC 3100 features no rotating parts. This makes maintenance tasks like replacing air filters a thing of the past. The scalable memory options range from 4 to 32 GB.

Highlights

• Intel Core i processors
• Compact dimensions
• Numerous interfaces
• Modular interface options
• SDL/DVI/SDL4
•  Fanless

Operating systems

•  Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSB 64-bit
• Linux
• Automation Runtime Embedded

Automation PC 3100 devices offer a variety of modular interface options. The two slots can accommodate cards for serial interfaces, Ethernet, CAN and POWERLINK. The slots can also be used for a UPS solution or audio interfaces. The PCs also come with slots for two industrial-strength CFast data storage devices. With up to 256 GB each, the CFast cards can be used to boost performance, as backup protection against failure or as a RAID set.

 

Future proof

The fully modular construction of the Automation PC 910 allows the system platform to be adapted to various applications. With data storage options ranging from SSD to CFast, slots for both PCI and PCI Express and an integrated UPS, there are virtually no limits to what you can do.

Fanless operation that meets the highest demands

Many variants of the Automation PC 910 provide the option of operation without the use of fans. When this feature is combined with CFast cards and SSDs, the PC system is completely free of rotating parts – a huge advantage when it comes to maintenance-free operation. The Automation PC 910 cooling system has been designed to transfer heat out of the housing with optimal efficiency. To maximize convection for fanless operation, the Automation PC 910 heat sink design was optimized through an extensive evaluation process using simulated models.

As processors shrink in size, heat is generated on a smaller and smaller surface area. To deal with this, heat pipes are the best way to provide maximum heat dissipation.

 

It is used in Marine Industry.
