Global industrial automation leader, Rockwell Automation, Inc. introduced Allen-Bradley VersaView 6300 box PCs and thin clients. It is the company's smallest industrial computer to deliver performance in durable and affordably priced packages with improved reliability. These box PCs and thin clients are also designed to withstand harsh industrial environments with a built-in heatsink and are protected against shock & vibration. Both the products use DisplayPort (supports 4K video), two USB 3.0 ports, and two Ethernet ports, making them perfect for high-speed data logging and IIoT gateway applications.

The thin clients are ThinManager-ready, and the box PCs are ThinManager-compatible, implying they can run on a Windows 10 IoT OS or switch over to run in the ThinManager environment. This dual use helps deliver applications from a central server or a local PC using one product. It can load applications from a PC if a central server fails, additionally it can utilize a PC first as an HMI for a standalone machine, as a thin client for a series of connected machines, or as a data aggregator to gather and share operational data.

“These new box PCs and thin clients are the first of the Allen-Bradley VersaView 6300 family of industrial computers, and leverage designs and technology from our acquisition of ASEM earlier this year,” asserted Dan DeYoung, Hardware Business Director, Rockwell Automation. “The unique designs of the VersaView 6300 family provide a very high level of durability for industrial environments in an affordable, flexible platform.”
