Key Core Functions

• Industrial Specialized Performance Package Configuration: The module adopts Rockwell exclusive industrial-grade hardware optimization design, the motherboard circuit has been specially filtered and anti-interference processing, which can stably operate in the industrial site strong electromagnetic interference environment, and the system crash rate is less than 0.1% under long-term continuous operation, far lower than that of ordinary commercial industrial computers.
• Rich Industrial Expansion Capability: The 4 independent expansion slots can be installed with various industrial communication cards, data acquisition cards and motion control cards according to the actual on-site demand, which can easily expand the number of industrial communication interfaces and data acquisition channels, effectively reducing the system hardware investment cost.
• Perfect Rockwell System Compatibility: The module is pre-installed with Windows XP Professional SP3 operating system, which is fully compatible with all versions of Rockwell FactoryTalk View SE, RSLogix 5000 and other industrial software, no additional driver adaptation is needed, and it can seamlessly connect with the existing Rockwell PLC control system and monitoring platform, which can be directly used as spare parts for the maintenance and replacement of old industrial monitoring systems that have been in operation for many years, effectively extending the service life of the old industrial automation system.
• Dual Redundant Network Port Design: The module is equipped with two independent Gigabit Ethernet ports, which can realize dual network redundant connection with the industrial control network, automatically complete seamless non-disturbing switching within 10ms when one network link fails, the industrial data transmission will not be interrupted at all, completely avoiding the huge economic loss caused by the monitoring system network interruption and the production line unexpected shutdown.
• Easy Installation and Maintenance Design: The machine wall-mounted installation design does not occupy the standard cabinet installation space, the interface layout is clear and reasonable, maintenance personnel can quickly complete the disassembly and replacement operation of the industrial PC without modifying a large number of internal wiring of the industrial control system, which greatly shortens the system fault recovery time and reduces the production loss caused by equipment shutdown.

Typical Application Scenarios

• Automobile manufacturing industry: Automobile body-in-white welding workshop industrial monitoring system, responsible for running FactoryTalk View SE monitoring server and OPC data server.
• Petrochemical industry: Large-scale refinery DCS control system monitoring host, realizing stable and reliable operation of the whole plant process parameter monitoring software.
• Logistics handling industry: Large automated sorting station industrial data acquisition server, realizing high-speed and stable data transmission of the whole sorting line control system.
• Machinery processing industry: Large CNC machine tool production line monitoring system, realizing stable and reliable operation of the equipment operation state monitoring software.
• Industrial transformation and upgrading projects: Spare parts replacement and system maintenance of old Rockwell industrial monitoring systems that have been in operation for many years in various industrial sites.

Installation and Maintenance Guidelines

• Strict anti-static protection must be implemented before installation: operators must wear a reliably grounded anti-static wrist strap to avoid static electricity damaging the precision processor and memory components on the motherboard.
• The industrial control network wiring must strictly follow the Rockwell industrial automation system wiring specifications, use dedicated double-shielded industrial Ethernet cables, and the shielding layer must be reliably double-ended grounded to effectively avoid network signal interference and data loss.
• After installation, perform full function test and system stability test of the industrial PC through the dedicated Rockwell industrial software, confirm that the software operation function, network communication function, expansion card function and fault diagnosis function of the industrial PC fully meet the system design requirements.
• Regularly check the operation state of the industrial PC during daily operation, regularly clean the dust accumulated on the surface of the heat dissipation fan and heat sink every 1 year, and replace the aging mechanical hard disk in time, which can effectively extend the service life of this industrial PC to more than 10 years.
