Service-friendly layout
Unlike traditional box PCs that assume a horizontal footprint, the iPC400 is engineered to operate upright. Its vertical orientation mirrors the layout of the other cabinet electronics, enabling direct mounting inside enclosures without sacrificing accessibility.
Accessible yet secure
The iPC400 incorporates a front-accessible, hot-swappable SSD tray that simplifies storage replacement and upgrades. Technicians can remove or secure drives without opening the chassis, reducing downtime during maintenance.
Service without obstacles
The iPC400 brings every critical connection (LAN, USB, serial, video, and power) onto a single front panel, eliminating side and rear cabling. Technicians can wire, probe, or replace peripherals directly from the cabinet door, cutting service time dramatically.
Functional by design
This system includes a recessed USB compartment within the chassis, purpose-built to physically isolate critical peripherals such as software license keys. The design minimizes accidental disconnection during operation or maintenance while preserving external I/O accessibility.
Performance without compromise
The system accommodates higher TDP processors (including 65W-class CPUs) by leveraging an optional external fan kit. This thermal extension enables expanded performance configurations without exceeding enclosure heat dissipation limits, ensuring system stability in demanding workloads.
Built for scalability
The iPC402 variant extends the iPC400 platform with two high-bandwidth PCIe Gen5 slots, enabling integration of advanced I/O, data acquisition, or specialized motion control cards. Despite its compact footprint, the system maintains expansion flexibility critical for evolving industrial automation requirements.
Engineered for real-time control
The iPC400 is validated with RSI’s RMP EtherCAT Motion Controller for reliable 125 μs communication cycles, ensuring deterministic real-time performance. With support for common industrial protocols such as OPC UA, Modbus, and PROFINET via software integrations, the system is suited for diverse automation environments requiring high-speed I/O, precise synchronization, and flexible interoperability.
Designed for longevity
Built on Intel’s Q670E platform, the iPC400 supports 12th to 14th Gen Core™ processors with a guaranteed availability window extending through Q4 2036. This ensures long-term component stability for industrial deployments requiring extended product lifecycles and minimizes the risk of mid-cycle hardware obsolescence.
