SIMATIC IPC227E
Overview
SIMATIC IPC227E (Nanobox PC): The Box PC with optimized performance in compact design – maintenance-free and rugged
The SIMATIC IPC227E Nanobox PC is an extremely compact and flexible embedded industrial PC.
Thanks to its closed, dust-protected all-metal enclosure, the IPC227E offers maximum industrial functionality for flexible use under harsh conditions – while remaining maintenance-free.
Modern interfaces and the option for expansion via a PCIe slot mean this Box PC can be easily integrated into the automation system. In the version with pre-installed Industrial Edge Runtime, it also supports modern Edge architectures. In the version with pre-installed Industrial Edge Runtime, it also supports modern Edge architectures. The latest Intel Dual-Core and Quad-Core processors ensure excellent performance here in an ultra-compact design.
