Designed specifically for machine usage, making them innovative yet reliable, the IPC Machine Controller combines the precision and utility of the Sysmac platform with the versatility and range of Windows programs. 
The two platforms operate simultaneously but separately, so if Windows is down, the machine just keeps on working. As a result, engineers become unstoppable - empowered to explore manufacturing innovation by leveraging big data, NUI (Natural User Interface) and IoT (Internet of Things) initiatives, all without compromising proven PLC reliability and robustness.

• Fourth-generation Intel® Core™ i7; Four core/8 threads 
• Windows Embedded Standard 7 
• Open operating system enables use of own software 
• Ethernet port for access to your IT systems

• Sysmac Machine control inside 
• 500 μs system cycle time 
• 16 to 64 axes of motion control 
• EtherNet/IP port for machine-to-machine, HMI communication 
• EtherCAT port for up to 192 synchronized slaves 
• Safety over EtherCAT - FSoE

Integrated Development Environment 
• A single tool for logic sequence, motion, safety, robotics, vision, HMI and Database connection 
• Open standard IEC 61131-3 
• Sysmac Library to optimize engineering time and machine availability

Our challenge was to use Sysmac machine control incombination with an open operating system like Windows. 
Normally it would be done using full virtualization, but this would influence the machine control, so it wasn’t acceptable to us. Instead, we use partitioning, so that both operating systems can work independently: if Windows is down, the machine is not affected.

• Vertical integration delivers production data from manufacturing process directly to IT systems 
• Data management enables machine data to be recorded, stored and analyzed to improve productivity 
• EtherCAT connectivity simplifies installation of production modules and safety devices
