Product Description:

Bosch Rexroth's RHO4.1/IPC300 is an industrial PC designed for automation tasks. It is equipped with specialized components to meet industrial requirements. The system operates on Microsoft Windows NT 4.0. Its Real-time interfaces include V24/20 mA, PHG connection, and CAN-Bus, with optional incremental encoder and probe support, providing a stable platform for various applications.

The RHO4.1/IPC300 pc is powered by an Intel Pentium or compatible CPU at 266 MHz, with an optional upgrade to a 400 MHz Pentium III processor. It supports a minimum of 64 MB and a maximum of 128 MB of RAM. The system includes a hard disk exceeding 5 GB, featuring an IDE interface and spring cushioning with an Auto-Park function. A 32X or higher CD-ROM drive and a high-density 3.5-inch, 1.44 MB floppy disk drive are standard. It offers three slots configurable as 3 PCI or 2 PCI and 1 ISA for expansion. Power supply options in RHO4.1/IPC300 pc include 230/115 VAC at 50/60 Hz or 24 VDC, with an internal battery providing uninterruptible power supply (UPS) capabilities. Standard interfaces comprise four serial RS-232 ports, one parallel port, PS/2 connections for keyboard and mouse, and a VGA output. Enhanced interfaces feature Ethernet connectivity, gigabit video transmission including touchscreen signals, and power supply provisions for control panels. The housing dimensions are 448 x 132 x 256 mm, and the front panel measures 19 inches by 3U by 256 mm. The unit weighs approximately 8 kg.

The design of RHO4.1/IPC300 pc emphasizes reliability and ease of maintenance. The spring-cushioned hard disk enhances shock and vibration resistance, while the internal UPS ensures data integrity during power interruptions. Temperature monitoring safeguards against overheating by initiating controlled shutdowns when necessary. The variety of interfaces and expansion slots allows for flexible integration into diverse industrial environments.
