PC station for test stands
A finished product must pass a variety of tests before it is delivered. This is an important part of quality assurance. Products are put on test stands configured for testing purposes; these test stands consist of various components that must interact with each other. An operating system is required for communication with the individual subcomponents of such a test stand. The SIMATIC IPC377E is an excellent choice for such a test.Â
Efficient, simple and time-saving
Your benefits when you use this application example.Â
Rugged and compact design
Specially developed for the industrial environment: Easy installation at low height
Flexible connection options
Thanks to a variety of current and legacy interfaces
Current hardware and software
Windows 10 pre-installed on fast SSD. Best connectivity thanks to integrated WLAN. In stock for immediate delivery.
Possible uses
Thanks to its modularity and flexible expandability, you can use the application example for a wide variety of tasks.
Some examples for the possible uses:
- Final testing of electrical devices
- Testing of non-electrical products
- Testing of incoming electrical subcomponents
- Long-term and load testsÂ
How does it work?
By using the correct add-on modules, you can set up a complete, industrial-grade test stand with the help of the IPC377E. The products to be tested are identified by a 2D barcode scanner. The test scenario is forwarded to the I/O board and further to the test object or test devices via software installed on the IPC. The test results are returned to the IPC and from there stored in a database with all relevant data. A printer can issue a test seal after testing has been completed successfully.
Required components
You need the following components to implement the application example.Â
