iPPC Series Introduction
The iPPC series is WES7 based Panel PC that combine computing, I/O, and operator interface into a single unit, and provide the perfect solution for integrating HMI, data acquisition and control in an individual iPPC. It is equipped with an Intel Atom E3827 or E3845 CPU, three I/O expansion slots option, TFT LCD and a variety of connectives including dual Gigabit Ethernet, USB port, RS-232 and RS-485 interface. The operating system is pre-installed in the built-in mSATA SSD, and the storage can be expanded from a Compact Flash slot. Local I/O slots are available to use our I-8K and I-87K series I/O modules and remote I/O expansion is available to use our Ethernet I/O modules and RS-485 I/O modules. Designed for panel mount installation, the front panel is NEMA 4/IP65 rated and can withstand sprayed water, humidity and extreme dust. Designed to operate over a wide -20°C ~ 60°C ambient temperature range, the fanless design offers the ultimate in reliability with no moving parts.
Since WES7 has the same Win32 API as Windows 7, most popular applications on desktop can run on WES7 based Panel PC.

Remote I/O Selection
Ethernet
The available Ethernet I/O devices are ET-7000, ET-7200, ET-87P4/8-MTCP and I-8KE4/8-MTCP. The PAC can access them in Modbus/TCP protocol. A nModbus.dll is provided for C#, VB.net programming.
RS-485
The PACs are equipped with the RS485 COM ports which enable the transmission rate up to a maximum of 115.2 Kbps. The medium for connection is a twisted-pair, multi-drop, 2-wire RS-485 network that can link I-7000, M-7000, RU-87Pn with high profile I-87K modules. To access M-7000, a nModbus.dll is provided for C#, VB.net programming. To access I-7000 and RU-87Pn with high profile I-87K modules, PACSDK is provided for C#, VB.net, VC and VB programming.
FRnet
FRnet is an innovative industrial field bus that has many special features, such as high-speed deterministic I/O control, real I/O synchronization capabilities, non-protocol communication, and easy programming. With a FRnet communication module (I-8172W), the PAC can link FRnet I/O modules to implement high-speed distributed I/O (FR-2000 series). To access I-8172W, a pac_i8172w.dll is provided for C#, VB.net, VC and VB programming.
CAN Bus
The Controller Area Network (CAN) is a serial communication way, which efficiently supports distributed real-time control with a very high level of security. It provides the error-processing mechanisms and concepts of message priority. These features can improve the network reliability and transmission efficiency. Furthermore, CAN supplies the multi-master capabilities, and is especially suited for networking“intelligent” devices as well as sensors and actuators within a system or a sub-system. With I-8123, I-8124, I-87120, the PAC is able to demonstrate every feature of CAN, CANopen, and DeviceNet.
