Compact industrial PCs

Written by Gareth Chamberlain, Product Manager- Cyber Security & IT Automation

An industrial PC is normally the last thing on many developers’ / integrators’ minds when designing an application. The process of selecting an IPC can also be a daunting task when selecting the specifications- this is where our knowledge of industrial computing can help you to decide the correct unit for you.

With more decentralised systems becoming more prominent within the automation community and EDGE/FOG computing, Phoenix Contact launched a new range of IPCs at the SPS show in Nuremburg in November. Our new range of IPCs are designed with high performance for its class and the usual Phoenix Contact rugged quality.

Introducing the BL2 BPC 1500:

  • Metal compact housing
  • Intel Celeron N3350 processor
  • Microsoft Windows 10 and Linux are supported
  • M.2 Storage options
  • Serial Port (optional)
  • WLAN 802.11 (optional)

With the size of the housing 97 x 95 x 49 mm (without the optional COM ports) there are a huge array of applications this can run within.

The BL BPC 1500 industrial PCs will be available from 1st of January 2020.

Phoenix Contact has a wide portfolio of industrial PCs that can help you in your application. If you have any questions regarding the BL BPC 1500 or need help in your selection of an IPC that will fit your project please contact us.

Then in 2011, we released the QUINT UPS-IQ, which for the first time allowed some monitoring of the connected battery to see such things as battery status, battery lifetime, and remaining runtime. With this generation of UPS it is possible to pass this info up to higher level controls but requires additional hardware.
