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.
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.
