Description
The PIP40 Product Family is a high performance, low power and highly integrated Rugged Embedded Computer, based in the latest Intel technology. The solution is available in a compact aluminum housing with DIN-Rail or flange, a rugged MIL IP67 enclosure, a 19” rack system or an open frame solution with a cooling plate. All configurable depending on your application or needs. The unique chassis solutions allows to operate the PIP40 product range in a moderate as well as in harsh environments. The design integrates standard connectors for easy connection or lockable headers, depending on housing choice or needs.
PIP40 Family Highlights
The PIP housings offer sufficient space for 2.5” SSD or other expansions like UPS, RAID..). Two mPCIe and three m.2 slots allow to expand the system very easy. The internal expansion bus allows to integrate PCIe/104 or PCIe cards. These expansion possibilities give a maximum on customization for additional interfaces and features. Particular precautions during the design have been taken that the entire system EMC is within the CE and FCC limits and standards like EN50155, IEC 60945 or MIL-STD-810 can be met.
Key features are:
- Up to 32GB DDR4 memory *
- Fanless operation, also from -40°C to +65°C
- Long term availability (Typically 10 years or more, 20+ years repair)
- Extremely flexible
- AMT / vPro support *
* depending on selected CPU
The PIP40 Family has been designed to withstand any harsh environments and extreme temperature conditions. The special rugged design, combined with the best industrial-grade components, offer high reliability and long-term performance.
The PIP40 Family is available for different Industries and is the perfect embedded computer solution for industrial environments, railway applications, MIL/COTS, SWaP-C applications, or whenever a rugged long-term available computer is needed.
