Datasheet

A compact fanless hardware solution for Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) has been announced by Lanner - the LEC-7233. Software-based thin client computing has now become ubiquitous in production automation, so too have the hardware appliances deployed at processing plants and manufacturing factories.

Together with the availability of a variety of thin client management software, Lanner’s industrial automation solutions, such as the LEC-7233, have evolved and improved in terms of flexibility and capability.

The LEC-7233, measured at 152x30x143mm, is a thin client gateway equipped with three GbE LAN ports, four DIO ports, two COM ports and wireless connectivity via the built in mini-PCIe, making it a multi-service communication gateway for Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES).

Powered by the dual-core Intel Celeron N2807 SoC (codenamed Bay Trail), this particular box PC offers the following features:

Intel HD Graphics
3x LAN & 2x COM
4x DI and 4x DO
1x USB3.0 & 2x USB2.0
1x HDMI Port (1920 x 1080)
1x mSATA
1x Full-sized Mini-PCIe Slot with SIM Slot for 3G/LTE Communication
1x Half-sized Mini-PCIe Slot for Wireless Communication

While most have yet to grasp the concept of Industry 4.0, the introduction of the LEC-7233 reiterates Lanner’s commitment to providing intelligent manufacturing solutions for MES, machine vision and factory automation, bringing early system testing and adoption to Lanner’s strategic partners for realising most Industry 4.0 applications.
