Ultra-compact C6015 Industrial PC and DIN rail mounted CX5140 Embedded PC are now Azure™ Certified
SAVAGE, Minnesota, June 27, 2017 – To provide plants, factories
and machine builders with even more system-integrated solutions for
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Beckhoff Automation has announced
Microsoft Azure™ certification for the C6015 Industrial PC (IPC) and
CX5140 Embedded PC. All certified devices from Beckhoff can be found in
the Microsoft “Azure Certified for IoT” device catalog, providing
customers with an easy-to-reference guide for Azure-compatible devices.
Both the C6015 IPC and CX5140 Embedded PC offer a powerful set of
features and can help implement cloud connectivity in a wide range of
industries.
The ultra-compact C6015 IPC opens up new application areas for PC-based
control technology, especially those with pronounced cost or space
restraints. Fully suited to industrial applications, the
cabinet-mounted IPC with Intel® Atom™ processor options (1-, 2- or
4-cores) is exceptionally compact, measuring just 82 x 82 x 40 mm. The
larger CX5140 Embedded PCs are equipped with 4-core Intel® Atom™
processors and feature a direct backplane connection to the
comprehensive Beckhoff I/O system (EtherCAT Terminals or Bus Terminals).
TwinCAT automation software from Beckhoff establishes the IoT
connectivity for these PC-based control devices. When running TwinCAT,
the same hardware device used for IoT can handle all aspects of machine
automation – from PLC and motion control, to visualization and HMI
functionality – all in a compact format for cabinet mounting or DIN
rail mounting.
Azure certification demonstrates Beckhoff commitment to IoT
Beckhoff has maintained a long-standing development partnership with
Microsoft. This began with the company’s early commitment to deploy
standard Windows operating systems for industrial applications across
all product lines. With the rise of IoT, IIoT and Industrie 4.0
concepts, Beckhoff continues to work closely with Microsoft to certify
PC-based control devices for use with Azure cloud services.
[an error occurred while processing this directive]The
recent inclusion of these two additional Beckhoff devices in the Azure
Certified for IoT device catalog assures Azure cloud connectivity and
eliminates the need for compatibility testing on the part of end users.
Users will know immediately that their Beckhoff devices will seamlessly
connect to Azure cloud systems and deliver the required functionality.
