GE PACSystems RXi EP Box type Industrial Computer (IPC)

Product Overview

The GE PACSystems RXi EP Box type Industrial Computer (IPC) is a high-performance, ruggedized industrial computing platform designed for harsh industrial environments. It can run HMI, historical data recording, and analysis applications, achieving device level real-time control and plant wide system integration. As a mid-range product of the RXi series, its core features include high-performance computing, flexible scalability, high reliability, and low total cost of ownership (TCO).

Core Features and Advantages

Characteristic specific parameter advantages

High performance processors can be selected from Intel Celeron (1.4 GHz) and Intel Core i7 (1.7 GHz) to meet high-performance requirements such as big data processing and real-time operation of multiple communication ports, supporting industrial applications such as GE Proficy.

The fanless design adopts passive cooling technology, with no moving parts to reduce dust pollution, improve reliability in harsh environments, and reduce maintenance requirements.

Three Gigabit Ethernet ports for network and communication (two of which support IEEE 1588 and 802.1AS time synchronization); Optional WLAN (via Mini PCIe slot) provides flexible network deployment capabilities, supports deterministic data transmission, and meets industrial communication intensive applications.

Expansion capability: 1 low profile PCI Express slot, internal Mini PCIe slot; The Slim version includes one PCI Express x4 slot for on-demand addition of features such as wireless modules and dedicated interface cards, suitable for diverse industrial scenarios.

Storage options include 2.5-inch SATA hard drive/SSD (user replaceable), CFast card slot (supports booting and runs in parallel with built-in storage), SSD enhances shock and vibration resistance, and adapts to wide temperature environments; CFast cards facilitate quick deployment and data backup.

Reinforced design aluminum alloy shell, IP20 dustproof rating, supports wide temperature operation to optimize heat dissipation and durability, suitable for harsh conditions such as dust and vibration in industrial sites.
