Click2Contact

The Advantech MIC-7500 is a compact modular inter-process communication (IPC) platform. The system’s fanless, ruggedised design supports a wide input power range, ensuring the durability to withstand harsh industrial environments. Advantech i-modules can be integrated with the product and provide flexible expansion on demand.

The device supports diverse communication requirements and devices, including external sensors, controllers and displays. The i-modules comprise two slots, four slots and two slots with a 2 x 2.5″ hot-swappable tray, with plans to develop additional modules in the near future. The i-modules are easy to assemble and have a simple upgrade path. The platform can be integrated with a wide range of i-modules to support diverse applications.

The platform is powered by a 6th generation Intel Core i processor that delivers up to 10% additional CPU performance and 30% faster graphics compared to the previous generation. The series is also compatible with a wide range of CPU platforms, including the Intel Xeon (for server applications) and Intel Atom (for entry-level operations).

The standalone design of the i-modules allows Advantech to release engineering samples for advance testing to eliminate customer concerns regarding the lengthy development time. Furthermore, the comprehensive range of easily configured modularised options reduces lead times for Advantech’s configure-to-order service (CTOS).

The product supports a wide operating temperature range of -20 to 60°C. The ruggedised design and cast aluminium case offer vibration and shock protection, as well as a passive thermal solution that ensures silent operation.

Designed for the industrial automation market and to withstand harsh environments and 24/7 operation, all electronic components satisfy certification standards for environmental protection, EMI/ESD tolerance and high-voltage surge requirements (2 kV). The device supports the Microsoft Windows 7/8/10 and Linux operating systems and is equipped with Advantech’s SUSIAccess remote management software utility for convenient management and system protection.
