Real-time Automation PC - NP series

The NP series of ultra-compact Industrial Automation PC combines maximum computing power with compact format. The NP series equipped with the latest Intel processor, in different performance from Intel Celeron quad-core to Intel® Core™ 6th-11th generation i3, i5, i7, i9 Pentium, Celeron and LGA1151/LGA1200 processors with 8 cores, for 10+ years life cycle.

Flexible and Modular Design

Nodka’s Automation PC product line is engineered to meet the sophisticated demands of industrial automation with a suite of high-performance PCs and support modules. This comprehensive suite includes control cabinet PCs that support a variety of real-time operating systems and extensions, and are powered by a range of Intel® processors and diverse I/O options. It also features fanless IPCs for energy-efficient operations, EtherCAT I/O modules for high-speed real-time communication, a supercapacitor UPS for power backup, and HDBaseT transmitters for long-distance, high-quality display connectivity.

Scalable Performance and Customization Flexibility

The COMLACTM SoM design architecture Nodka supports easy upgrades and customization, offering a variety of expansion slots for additional peripherals, which helps in tailoring the system to specific industrial needs. These PCs range from Intel® Celeron® for basic tasks to Core™ i9 processors for intensive applications, allowing them to handle varying levels of data processing and software demands across different industrial environments.

Real-time OS Compatibility

Automation PC compatibility with real-time operating systems (RTOS) like INtime, VxWorks, RTX, EC-Win, Windows or Linux with real-time extensions, enables precise control and synchronization essential for demanding industrial applications.

Comprehensive Fieldbus Support

The EtherCAT support enhances the real-time capabilities significantly. Automation PC can control a network of EtherCAT slave devices, like I/O modules, with high precision and minimal latency. This setup is ideal for synchronized operations in automation, where tasks require exact timing across multiple devices.

Apart from EtherCAT, several other fieldbus systems are also supported, which include PROFIBUS for connecting industrial controllers and I/O devices, CANopen for machinery, Modbus for industrial devices and PROFINET for more complex applications and integration into industrial Ethernet networks.
