Combine as desired.

One major characteristic for the new Panel PC FLEX series from ICP Deutschland is the two-part modular design. The combination of high-performance embedded PC FLEX-BX200 and variable LCD kit FLEX-PLKIT offers up to 48 different possibilities. The capacitive multi-touch is anti-reflective and available as a prefabricated LCD kit in sizes of 15" to 23.8" with resolutions ranging from XGA to Full-HD. The embedded PC is equipped with the latest Intel® Coffee Lake Core i7/i5/i3 or Pentium® CPU and offers users sufficient performance for the processing of complex and computation-intensive processes. The cabling is enabled by means of LVDS, inverter and touch cables. In addition, the FLEX-BX200 can be equipped with up to 64GB of RAM. Four externally accessible 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s drive bays are available for mass storage expansion. The RAID 0/1/5/10 functionality offers additional security, also thanks to the hot-swappable hard discs. In addition, two M.2 slots with NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 signal provide space for additional SSDs. Two PCIe 3.0 x8 and two PCIe x4 slots each allow the FLEX to be functionally expanded at will. These slots can take suitable GPOE expansion cards for the direct connection

Hyper, Hyper.

A sophisticated cooling concept can help to prevent unwanted heat accumulation during the development of compact embedded systems or HMI units for installation in the machine.

ICP Deutschland offers developers a suitable solution with the compact PICO-ITX Embedded Board HYPER-AL, which features an extended temperature range of -20°C ~ +60°C, a low power dissipation of max. 6W TDP as well as a combined cooling and mounting plate. The latter allows easy mounting of the embedded board at the machine, whereby the waste heat is dissipated directly via the adjacent chassis.

The heart of the 100x72mm "small" CPU board is a powerful Intel®...

Implementing AI in the production environment.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is also gaining more and more importance in the industrial sector. A common application in the production environment is automatic optical inspection (AOI), which is used for the recognition and control of objects. In order to guarantee a high success rate and reliable defect identification, the database of the underlying training model must be constantly refined. This is realized by means of industrial inference systems.

With the new TANK-870AI, ICP Deutschland offers developers such an inference system that convinces with a pre-installed Linux Ubuntu 16.04 LTS operating system and ready-to-use software. The hardware is based on an Intel® Skylake or Kaby Lake CPU and has up to 32GB pre-installed...

Securing embedded systems for emergencies.

In most cases, the loss of data due to manipulation or corruption entails high consequential costs and great technical effort in restoring the data. ICP Deutschland offers system integrators and end customers a simple, bit-based and operating system independent backup and recovery solution to prevent precarious downtimes of embedded systems.

The combined hardware/software solution of the cooperation partner Waxar Data Saving Systems is already integrated in a USB stick. Thus, the system can be booted easily and directly from the USB stick and fully automated backed up and restored. Special IT knowledge is not required for this...

High stacking performance.

With the new PC/104-Plus CPU Board PM-BT, ICP Deutschland is expanding its existing PM product line with a high-performance variant for high stacking in confined spaces. The compact dimensions (96x90mm), the low weight (120g) and the standardized PC/104-Plus connector for both PCI and ISA support of the PM-BT are predestined for vertical expansion.

Depending on the functionality, common PC/104, PC/104-Plus and PCI/104 add-on modules can be used for expansion, which can also be flexibly replaced or removed...

Compact, robust and full of power.

Powerful HMI Panel PCs are used to control plants, machines and buildings. Their compact and robust design makes them the perfect interface between man and machine. The new semi-industrial 12" Panel PC from ICP Deutschland successfully combines these attributes. The 30x24cm compact AFL3-12C in 4:3 format is designed for a temperature range of -20°C ~ +50°C and a voltage input of 12~30V_DC. Due to its low installation depth of 6cm and versatile mounting options, the robust Panel PC can be us...

Powerful and maintenance-friendly media converter.

With the new Power over Ethernet (PoE) media converter IPMC-111PB++-60W, ICP Deutschland expands its portfolio of communication products with a particularly powerful and maintenance-friendly variant.

Ethernet devices can be supplied with up to 60 watts of power via the 10/100Base-T(X) P.S.E. (Power Sourcing Equipment) RJ45 port according to the IEEE802.3at standard. Via a 100Base-FX SFP port, the IPMC-111PB++-60W is connected to the optical fiber network, thus can cover a range of up to 70km. Its ease of maintenance is underpinned by the integrated Link Fault Pass-through function (LFP). The LFP function is activated via a DIP switch and ensures that the connection of the transceiver port is checked regularly. In the event of an interruption or failure of the copper connection, the fiber link is interrupted, allowing the network administrator to...

Multi-Core boost for image and video processing.

Computing-intensive applications such as image and video processing are predestined for parallel data processing using multi-core processors and multi-threading. ICP Deutschland offers the new Mini-ITX CPU Board KINO-DH310 with LGA1151 socket and the latest Intel® Coffee Lake processor series from Core^TM i7/i5/i3 to Celeron® to Pentium®.

Depending on the CPU configuration level, up to six cores and 12 threats with a constant power dissipation of 35W or 65W provide the decisive "boost". In addition, the KINO-DH310 can be equipped with max. 64GB DDR4 SO-DIMM memory. Two SATA 6Gb/s interfaces and an M.2 slot are available as additional mass storage expansion. The second M.2 slot supports PCIe x1 and...

Protection against environmental influences.

Another protective measure against environmental influences in industrial PCs is to cover the built-in RAM and flash memory modules from ICP Deutschland with a protective film of acyrrole resin, also known as conformal coating. Acyrl resin protects against moisture, dust, chemicals, heat shock and sunlight and prevents irreparable damage to electronic components. The...

Facelift for Panel PCs in harsh environments.

The capacitive touch screens of the popular PPC-F and DM-F series from ICP Deutschland receive a facelift in two respects with the upcoming revision change. Firstly, by replacing the microcontroller, the number of touch points on the multi-touch screen has increased from two to ten...
