Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today that it will extend its MELIPC series of industrial PCs for edge computing and control applications in the field of factory automation (FA) by introducing two new MI3000 units on February 28. The new units will facilitate the visualization of various data at production sites for improved productivity.

Product Features

1) Supports Edgecross for visualization of data from the production site

Like the series' three existing models, the new units are preinstalled with the Edgecross1 software platform and SLMP2 data collector for real-time data collection of production site data and creation of Edge-computing systems.
The preinstalled GT SoftGOT20003 visualization software is compatible with Edgecross for easy data visualization.
1 Open software platform from Japan supporting edge computing and FA/IT integration
2 Seamless Message Protocol: Common protocol for seamless connection between CC-Link IE compatible devices and Ethernet® products without network hierarchy / boundary
3 Software for creating screen displays and screen-based operations similar to that of the programmable HMI GOT 2000 series

2) High flexibility and scalability enable optimal system design for a wide variety of applications

The 21.5-inch widescreen, Full HD LCD panel4 displays data easily and clearly.
PCAP5 touch-panel technology adopted from smartphones and tablets enables a "light-touch" operation and enhanced LCD backlighting
Flexible connection with various devices, from Windows® barcode readers to OnVIF6 cameras
A variety of expansion slots and interfaces, including audio output, support flexible system design for optimum solutions to meet diverse application needs
