ctrlX IPC: Scalable, robust and future-proof

Scalable and robust industrial PC

With its high computing power, robustness, and modular architecture, ctrlX IPC is an industrial PC providing the ideal basis for demanding applications in the manufacturing industry. A passive cooling concept and durable hardware design ensure that the embedded PC works reliably even in extreme conditions.

In addition to the robustness and durability, the user benefits from scalable performance: the portfolio ranges from compact solutions to high-performance devices for high-end applications. The open platform offers versatile expansion interfaces such as M.2, mPCIe, and PCIe for adaptation to local conditions.

With a state-of-the-art industrial PC from the ctrlX IPC device family, optimized for edge computing and IoT applications, maximum performance, adaptability, and future viability are ensured for a variety of projects. A special feature of ctrlX IPC is the powerful edge computing. Here, the data filtering takes place directly at the edge, so that even with high data transfer rates from cloud computing and with large data volumes, there is no overload. These are the ideal prerequisites for the implementation of smart processes.

The components are easily connected to the process level. The industrial PC also forms the ideal interface between the field level and the cloud or control level and ensures the reliable and secure transmission of large volumes of data.

IPC with NVIDIA: maximizing performance for vision & artificial intelligence

The ctrlX IPC with NVIDIA extension is ideal for highly complex vision and AI applications that require accurate and powerful computing. As part of the ctrlX AUTOMATION portfolio, this platform not only offers outstanding performance and flexibility, but also the ability to perform sophisticated AI-based analysis processes directly on the system.

The seamless integration of ctrlX OS, an open, industrial operating system, allows all the advantages of the ctrlX World to be utilized to the full. Users benefit from a broad, modular ecosystem that can also perform special tasks thanks to partner apps. This makes the ctrlX IPC the central hub for highly demanding automation solutions that are perfectly integrated into the ctrlX AUTOMATION world.

CDI+ interface: the smart single cable solution for HMI

The CDI+ interface expands the possibilities of ctrlX HMI solutions. This innovative single cable solution transmits both video and touch functions over a single cable – and over distances of up to 100 meters.

This guarantees an easy to install, trouble-free and reliable connection between the HMI and IPC. Perfect for industrial applications where HMIs need to be located farther away from the control unit without compromising performance.
