Multi-core processor technology

Thanks to the use of two or four processor cores, the multi-core processors are ideally suited to multi-thread application programs and multitasking.

Multiple demanding applications – such as visualization applications with demanding graphics or programs executing extensive calculations – can be executed at the same time to enhance the response time of the system. Thanks to energy-optimized multi-core technology and outstanding energy-saving properties, the Core processors permit the execution of highly complex applications even at increased temperatures up to 40 °C without loss of performance.

The SIMATIC IPC RW-543A is preconfigured for multi-core technology with Intel Core processors and Microsoft operating systems, and offers higher performance and better multitasking in the industrial environment.

Monitoring functions

Integrated monitoring functions: Temperature inside enclosure, fan speed (CPU, power supply and front fan), program execution (watchdog), battery.

Integrated interfaces:

• Ethernet
  The integrated Ethernet interfaces (10/100/1 000 Mbps) can be used for IT communication and for data exchange with programmable controllers such as SIMATIC S7 (with the "SOFTNET S7" software package).
• Additional interfaces
  There are 3 free slots for PCI components, 5 free slots for PCI Express, as well as 4 x USB 3.2, 7 x USB 2.0 and serial interfaces available for connecting I/O devices.
