iPC-Fanless Series Launch Overview

iPC-Fanless Series Summary

The iPC-Series Embedded High Performance Industrial PCs replaced the very successful ePC-Series a little over one year ago. However, the ePC Fanless with ATOM N270 had not been updated until now. Fanless and Solid State Drives have become popular options providing high reliability and lower typical power usage. Although a solid CPU performer in most industrial cases, the single core ATOM N270 has proven to be underpowered for more robust Windows 7-based applications. In order to address this issue, Nematron added a new Fanless Dual Core ATOM N2800 processor option to the iPC-Series. This new ATOM N2800 CPU offers over twice the PassMark® performance scores than the previous generation ATOM N270. The new iPC Fanless also takes advantage of the many improvements and enhancements previously noted in Nematron’s ePC-to-iPC continuous improvement strategy. With four sizes to choose from (12”, 15”, 17”, & 19”) and a display-less node version, these ultra-thin industrial PCs can be used in many different applications, even Class I Division 2 Hazardous Locations. The iPC Fanless continues Nematron’s mission of supplying superior quality, state-of-the-art Industrial PCs that are built and supported in the USA.

Release Schedule

ePC and iPC Product Direction

iPC-Fanless to replace ePC-Fanless• iPC-Fanless w/ N2800 CPU is the same cost as current ePC-Fanless w/ N270 …

… BUT with superior performance!- Passmark Scores: 671 vs. 304

- Former base ePC-Series w/ CM440 was 438- Current base ePC-Plus w/ MC550 is 547

- 80 GB SSD standard on iPC-Fanless vs. 40 GB on ePC-Fanless

• At the end of 2013, the ePC w/ N270 will have been shipping for over 5 years- Verifies Nematron’s 5-year product life cycle commitment

• On January 1, 2014, the ePC w/ N270 will raise $200.00 list price and transition to “Legacy” status

- Reduced distributor discount - Last Time Buy will be issued later in 2014 for the ePC-Fanless

• Actual date will be based on run rate and iPC conversion success rate

• Begin transition of current customers as soon as possible.

• Enclosed ePC units with N270 will not be transitioned to iPC units with N2800- Main reason is lack of sales history- Enclosed ePC with N270 will remain available until last time buy is issued in 2014

• Truly Industrial UL/cUL ratings– Nematron UL 508 compliance allows easy integration into the UL Panel

Builders Program – NEMA Type compliance is actually tested by UL as part of this certification,

not just stated or implied– UL Description of Nematron approvals for Industrial Control Equipment

(Programmable Controllers) is as follows:

• Other Suppliers do NOT have Industrial UL ratings!– Advantech’s (and other overseas suppliers) UL approvals are for

Informational Technology Equipment (ITE), UL description as follows:

Note: ITE approvals have NO requirement for NEMA Type testing!

Which one would you promote to your industrial customers?
