The TR-Electronic VPC300 series is a versatile, modular industrial PC box engineered for reliable operation in demanding industrial environments. Designed for both wall and cabinet mounting, this compact system offers a powerful, scalable, and cost-effective solution for automation, control, and monitoring applications. Its modular architecture allows for flexible configuration, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial requirements.

Processor and Performance

The VPC300 series features scalable CPU power, ranging from energy-efficient Intel Atom processors to high-performance Intel Core 2 Duo processors, ensuring continuous operation and strong performance for various industrial workloads. Paired with up to 4GB of RAM, the system delivers smooth multitasking and responsive operation. The integrated graphics support resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 pixels, suitable for demanding HMI and visualization tasks.

Modular Expansion and I/O

A key feature of the VPC300 series is its exceptional expansion capability. The PC wall-mounting kit includes a modular backplane system that supports up to 14 expansion slots (PISA/PCI/ISA), allowing the integration of various add-on cards for specialized industrial functions. Standard I/O interfaces include LAN, USB 2.0, RS232, VGA, and PS/2 for mouse and keyboard. Enhanced optional interfaces include CAN, PROFIBUS, RS232CF II adapter, audio, LPT1, and additional USB2.0/LAN ports. Optional fieldbus interfaces such as PROFINET, EtherCAT, and PROFIBUS are also available for seamless integration into industrial networks.

Cooling and Environmental Specifications

The VPC300 series is available with two cooling options: a heatsink version for passive cooling in less demanding environments, or a monitored fan version for active cooling in higher temperature conditions. The system operates reliably in temperatures from 0°C to +50°C (fan version) or 0°C to +45°C (heatsink version), with an IP20 protection rating suitable for industrial control cabinets. Power supply options include 24 VDC or 90-240 VAC, providing flexibility for different installation environments.

Storage and Software

The system supports multiple storage options including SATA hard drives, SSDs, RAID1 configurations, CF cards, and optionally hot-swappable CD/DVD-RW drives. TR-Electronic can pre-install your desired operating system (Windows or Linux), allowing for immediate deployment upon delivery.

Applications

The VPC300 series is ideal for industrial automation, machine control, process monitoring, data acquisition, HMI systems, and as a reliable computing platform for manufacturing and infrastructure applications requiring modular expansion and rugged reliability.
