Syslogic Compact M: Fanless box PC for industrial automation

Syslogic, the embedded expert, is well-known in the industry market for its sturdy, long-lasting devices that offer long-term availability. And even though Syslogic isn’t re-inventing the wheel with its Compact M series, it is definitely creating quite a stir. The fanless Box PC comes with an unparalleled number of features. It combines compact dimensions with high-powered multi-core CPU boards and interface variability like no other device before it.

Fanless Embedded Box PC for automation specialists

With its Compact M series, Syslogic is setting its sights on the automation market. Thanks to the quadcore processor from the Intel Atom E3845 series, the Box PC masters demanding control tasks and their visualization. And its interface allocation has been tailor-made to meet the requirements of automation specialists. For the first time, a Syslogic device features switchable COM interfaces. These interfaces can be configured as an RS232 or as an RS422/485 with galvanic isolation. The basic configuration also includes LAN, CAN, USB and EtherCAT interfaces. Optionally, the device can additionally be fitted with WLAN, GSM, UMTS and LTE.

Fanless Embedded Box PC as a compact EtherCAT controller

Syslogic does not only supply industrial hardware, but also supports its customers with the integration of industrial computers with automation systems. Upon request, the Syslogic software engineers also provide EtherCAT Master Stacks for Linux operating systems. This allows customers to use the Embedded Box PC directly as an EtherCAT controller. Automation solutions can be realized easily and cost-efficiently because the graphical interface, the EtherCAT master connection and the control system logic run on the same hardware.

Raphael Binder, Product Manager at Syslogic, is convinced that Syslogic will be able to expand its position on the automation market with the new computer series. He says: "The Compact M series offers outstanding flexibility and a compact design, which makes it suitable for a wide variety of applications in the field of industry automation"
