The VPB IndraControl PC Units from Bosch Rexroth Indramat comprise an industrial box PC series intended for applications where the PC and control hardware need to be separated, with the unit mounted in the control cabinet and linked to external displays and terminals.
The series is offered in multiple hardware versions to match different application requirements, with processor options ranging from Celeron to Core i5 and Core i7 variants, memory capacities from 2 GB up to 8 GB or more depending on configuration, and storage choices including standard hard drives, RAID 1 hard-disk arrangements, and solid-state drives. For connectivity, the VPB platform provides dual Gigabit Ethernet, six USB 2.0 ports, a DVI connection for an external service monitor, and a CDI interface for the industrial PC connection to the display or terminal. These units operate from a 24 VDC supply, support Windows XP or Windows 7 depending on the version, and are specified with IP20 overall protection, CE/UL/CSA certification, vibration resistance to 1 g, shock resistance to 15 g, and an operating temperature range of +5 °C to +45 °C. The series is also designed around different slot configurations for plug-in expansion, allowing users to select compact or more expandable versions based on required PCI or PCIe capacity, auxiliary components, and overall system architecture
