Industrial built-in computer

September 2012 Industrial Computer Hardware

The PS-4000B from Pro-face is a built-in computer for industrial use. It is equipped with an advanced high-speed Dual Core CPU, Core 2 Duo 2.26 GHz, which has become a standard CPU in common PCs as well as PCI Express, a high-speed bus, in an expansion slot. With these high-speed components, the PS-4000B is suited for high performance machines such as printing machines, semiconductor manufacturing equipment and other machines which require high-speed processing of production data.

Various models are available and some are equipped with Windows 7, the most advanced operating system (OS) available. This provides an easy change of system configuration at production sites where the introduction of the same advanced OS as the office is under consideration. For network communication, a 2-port of high-speed 1 gigabit Ethernet interface provides fast communication of production information to the office and control information to the production site.

In addition, a large heat sink and intelligent fan control contribute to stable machine operation and significant reduction in maintenance time. Users can select the best option from a wide variety of modular options and maintenance can be performed easily from the front of the computer.
