Industrial PC

Semiconductor solutions for rugged and reliable PC architectures for harsh industrial environments

nobutton

Overview

Edge computing has now established itself as one of the most important trends in factory automation. Increasingly powerful industrial computers enable factory planners to keep computationally intensive tasks such as machine and process control, linking automation subsystems, data analysis, or graphical visualization close to the factory floor.

Benefits

  • Robust in industrial environment
  • Secure data communication
  • Reliable data logging
  • Heating up power supply
  • Long lifetime in 24/7 operation
  • Bluetooth and Wi-Fi communication

About

Introduction to industrial PC

Industrial PCs are becoming a second pillar of factory automation control alongside or even by replacing classic PLCs. On the one hand the rapidly developing consumer PC technology enablies industries to? make use of established tools, user interfacing or graphics capabilities in the factory. On the one hand Industrial PCs are offering options for processing sensitive data on site rather than moving it into the cloud. Along high speed industrial bus communication precise manufacturing sequences may be realized by high performance processor architectures. Industrial-grade, robust industrial PC? do withstand harsh environmental conditions on the factory? floor such as high temperatures, vibrations, dust or electromagemtic interferences. Mechanical and electric stability is a prerequisite to avoid factory control downtimes.?

Specific industrial requirements for industrial PC

Industry PCs typically are sufficiently powerfull for e.g. complex motion control tasks. Formfactors may include panel integrated and types in compact housing to be mounted on DIN Rail or in a rack. A huge number of various interfaces and options for plug-in boards complement IPCs' featureset. Longevity of Industrial PCs in operation differs as well from PC use in consumer markets. All these correspond to specific industrial requirements for IPC sub-systems and components. E.g. the power supply part of an industrial PC requires low heating up at small form factor as well as working in the control cabinet 24/7 to reach long system lifetime. Artificial? inteligence algorithms may run on a industrial PC.? May be even thinking about running training sequences on an IPC is realistic with no need for looping though cloud anymore.

Our semiconductor solutions for industrial PC

Infineon is providing a range of semiconductor solutions that meet these requirements in terms of power supply (CoolMOS?, CoolGaN?; CoolSiC?) , Hardware based data protection (OPTIGA? TPM/Trust), ESD and surge protection or wired or wireless (AIROC? Wi-Fi & Bluetooth families) connectivity. Infineon¡¯s selected memory product portfolio includes HyperBUSTM and synchronous SRAM types reaching out to 9600MB/s data rate idealy suited as high-speed serial buffer memory and applications requiring low latencies. Infineon's EXCELON TM FRAM devices, providing an utmost number of read/write cycles, do match requirement for continuous data logging purposes. Coping with high temperatures and challenging reiability requirements SemperTM NOR Flash? provides high-performance, safe, and reliable data or code? storage.

Dedicated application know-how from Infineon to support your system design complements our offering. A selection of proven power supply reference designs supports you in providing a scalable industrial PC series, whether as box, rack or panel PC, depending on the required computing power.
