Siemens is launching two fanless embedded industrial PCs - designed for harsh industrial environments. The Simatic IPC427E embedded microbox PC features a fanless concept and SSD (solid-state drive) hard disks or CFast memory without rotating parts and is therefore designed to offer high system availability.

The Microbox PC is suitable for top-hat rail, wall and front-book mounting and can be expanded via two PCIe slots. The Simatic IPC477E Embedded Panel PC can be installed in control cabinets and consoles as well as 19-inch cabinets/racks. The device, consisting of an operating unit with integrated computer unit, has two display ports, for example for additional monitors, and a wide range of interfaces: three LAN 10/100/1000 Mbit/s, four high-speed USB V3.0 and two COM (RS232/RS485).
