IPCs provide computing for AI-aided automation
PACSystems IPC 6010, IPC 7010 and IPC 8010 industrial computing platforms expand Emerson’s family industrial personal computer (IPC) models applications, including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and advanced analytics. They feature the first CPU in the latest generation of processors designed to support AI-enabled capabilities, such as predictive maintenance, process optimization, quality inspection, decision support and supply chain management.
PACSystems IPCs use the latest generation of soldered, industrial-rated 13th generation Intel Core processors with up to 64 GB soldered ECC memory for maximum resistance against shock and vibration. Their compact form factor employs fanless cooling for an extended operating temperature range up to 70 °C, with thermal monitoring and an optional fan available for high-temperature environments. They also benefit from Emerson’s patented vibration and thermal technologies to boost reliability and extend deployment life.
With solid-state drive (SSD) storage options ranging up to 4 terabytes, multiple gigabit Ethernet interfaces, up to four PCIe slots, and other interfaces, PACSystems can be tailored to compute for vision systems, advanced analytics, data processing, historization/visualization, and other rigorous functions for process optimization and operational insight.
Available pre-installed, pre-licensed operating systems with edge and visualization software help simplify deployment of common configurations while also allowing users to fully customize their systems. Operating system options include Windows IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021, PACEdge and Linux. Software options include PACEdge, Movicon Connext and Movicon WebHMI. Alternatively, users can load their own OS or software. Built-in Trusted Platform Module (TPM) crypto-processors and Secure Boot software ensure that data and operations are kept secure.
