RXi-EP Box IPC
Highly Versatile, Ruggedized Computing
GE Intelligent Platforms has combined its
expertise in designing high-performance
embedded computing platforms with
our more than 30 years of experience in
industrial control to create a powerful and
expandable industrial computing platform –
the PACSystems RXi-EP Box IPC.
The PACSystems RXi industrial computing
platform delivers compact, rugged, highperformance computing capabilities to run
HMI, historian, and analytics applications
right at the machine, enabling improved
real-time control of operations and better
integration into plant-wide systems.
The RXi-EP Box IPC is the mid-range offering
in the RXi IPC family, featuring the added
expandability of a PCI Express slot and
CFast storage.
High-Performance Computing
The RXi-EP Box IPC incorporates the latest
technologies to deliver high-performance
computing for the industrial environment.
GE selected the latest Intel processors for
their unmatched performance. The RXi-EP
Box IPC has multiple Gigabit Ethernet
interfaces, and industrial grade high-speed
SSD storage (or optional larger hard disk
storage) to complete the high-performance
design. These high performance specifications make the RXi-EP Box IPC the perfect
platform for running GE’s Proficy* applications or other industrial applications right at
the machine, even in the harshest environments.
Expandability
The RXi-EP Box IPC provides additional
application flexibility with both mini PCI
express and low profile PCI express slots.
This expandability combined with the
highest performance CPUs delivers truly
high performance computing.
Greater Uptime
From the use of all industrial grade components to its fanless design, all aspects of
the RXi-EP Box IPC have been engineered
for reliability in harsh environments. The
core of the RXi-EP Box IPC architecture is
GE’s rugged COM Express modular CPU
platform. GE incorporates patented thermal
monitoring technology with sophisticated
passive cooling techniques to provide the
highest-performance, fanless industrial
computing platform that can operate in
extended temperature ranges.
Lower TCO
Reliability is just one aspect of how the RXi-EP
Box IPC reduces your cost of ownership. The
RXi-EP Box IPC delivers on the promise of low
TCO through features such as compact size,
reduced maintenance, low power consumption, and ease of future performance
upgrades enabled by our innovative rugged
COM Express CPU architecture.
