System Configuration

The IPC Programmable Multi Axis Controller supports the following system configuration.
Port 3
Ethernet
SD Memory
Card
PCIe Card
HDD / SSD
RS-232C DVI
The Windows operating system has all interfaces an Industrial PC requires:
• 1 Ethernet port to connect with regular Ethernet networks and to be able to connect with databases,
MES- and ERP systems and other IIoT applications.
• 4 USB ports to connect peripheral devices.
• 1 DVI port to connect a monitor
• 1 RS-232C port to connect (legacy) peripheral devices and factory automation devices
• 2 slots for HDD and/or SSD storage devices
• 1 SD Memory Card slot for removable storage
• 1 PCIe Card Slot to add support for other (industrial) networks or peripheral ports
The Programmable Multi Axis Controller kernel has 2 Ethernet ports assigned.
• 1 EtherCAT port for (real-time) communication with EtherCAT Slaves, like servo drives and I/O devi-
ces.
By using the EtherCAT master communications port on the Programmable Multi-Axis Controller,
EtherCAT slaves such as servo drives, frequency inverters, machine vision systems, digital and an-
alog I/O, and other general-purpose slaves can be connected.
• 1 Modbus-TCP port for communication with other Modus-TCP devices.
The Ethernet communications port on the Programmable Multi-Axis Controller supports the Modbus-
TCP protocol. It can be connected to devices such as a PLC or a programmable terminal that sup-
ports the Modbus-TCP protocol.
