• Flexible installation (rail, wall, portrait, side mounting); all mounting positions are allowed
• Minimum space requirements (installation space of approx. 1 liter or more; all interfaces on one side, integrated industrial power supply)
• Up to 50 °C ambient temperature; dust protection due to closed enclosure
• LED for efficient self-diagnostics (e.g. using WinAC: Run/Stop, Error, Maintenance); optimized for headless operation
• Device options for optimum adaptation to the application (optional)
  • Simple expansion by means of a PCIe slot or
  • three additional RS232 interfaces or
  • four additional digital inputs and outputs each, 24 V DC

High-performance data processing at low power consumption

• Intel Atom technology of the Power-Optimized family E6xx
• Power consumption from 8 W (low waste heat in protective enclosure/control cabinet)
• Wake-on-LAN for remote-controlled switching between standby and active state
• Support of Sleep States/SpeedStep (dynamic power adaptation depending on the required computing performance)
• Intel VT-x technology for virtualization

High degree of industrial functionality and flexibility for implementing the embedded solution

• Flexible memory concepts: CompactFlash or more, Solid-State Drive, or hard drive
• 2 Gbit Ethernet (teaming-capable); PROFINET with RT functionality (via Standard Ethernet)
• 4 high-speed USB 2.0 ports
• 1 RS232; alternatively as: RS485 or CAN (optional)
• Ready-to-run embedded bundles with WinAC RTX2010 (F) and/or WinCC RT Advanced (optional)
• 512 KB retentive memory (MRAM), of which 128 KB can be written to within the buffer time (optional)
• Embedded and standard operating systems for selection: Windows Embedded Standard 2009 and Windows XP Prof. MUI; Windows Embedded Standard 7 32 bit and Windows 7 MUI 32 bit
• Suited for Linux certificate for simple, secure implementation of proprietary Linux-based solutions

High system availability in order to reduce the risk of potential failures and maintenance costs

• Maintenance-free since there are no rotating parts (fans, HDD)
• Battery-free operation even if retentive memory option is selected (with time-of-day synchronization over network)
• Comprehensive self-diagnostics thanks to pre-installed local diagnostics software SIMATIC IPC DiagBase

High investment security in order to reduce engineering costs

• Long-term availability: Service & Support period of 8 – 10 years after market launch
