SIMATIC Microbox IPC227G / Edge Device

The product name, Microbox IPC227G / Edge Device, mixes two Siemens lines. The SIMATIC IPC227G is a Nanobox PC, the successor to the IPC227E, with an Intel Core or Celeron processor and a fanless design that is mounted on a DIN rail or wall. A version is sold as the SIMATIC IPC227E Industrial Edge device, which is shipped with the Industrial Edge runtime for running containerised applications close to machines. The unit has multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports, USB interfaces, a DisplayPort and an option for a serial interface, and it runs on a 24 V DC supply. Storage is by SSD or CFast. It is used for data collection, analytics and gateway tasks, linking PLCs and field devices to MindSphere or IT systems.
