IPC types
Thanks to a consequently implemented platform strategy, Industrial PCs can be assembled
individually and are nearly optionally scalable with regard to power, display size, and func-
tion. This results in three different designs from which you can select the tailor-made plat-
form for the prevailing automation solution.
This universal and scalable IPC platform is complemented by HMIs which are provided in
fixed configurations and can also fulfil automation functions in a restricted way.
The following designs are distinguished:
