Automation real-time target machine - Chassis

The zinc coated sheet metal chassis is extremely robust and ready for installation into a machine cabinet. During your control/automation software design phase it can also be placed on a desktop (turned 90 degrees). The width of the chassis depends on the number of PCI slots available (1,2, or 5) and therefore the number of I/O modules your application with an Automation machine requires.

The Automation machine's rear bracket is optimized for mounting the machine into a machine cabinet having standard mounting points. Installed this way, all I/O modules and peripheral connectors are leaving at the top.

The chassis consists of the mainboard and a piggy-backed PCI bus PCB with either 1, 2, or 5 PCI slots. The mainboard's cooling is accomplished fully passively through a heat sink mounted on the left side of the machine. The I/O modules' cooling on the other hand is accomplished by a bank of lowest-noise fans producing an airstream covering the entire width of the I/O module card cage. The speed of the fans is temperature-controlled and in an ambient temperature environment they are mostly idle, therefore producing no audible noise. The chassis further contains the power supply producing all necessary voltages. The power inlet requires a single 24VDC source which can either be provided by a simple desktop AC/DC adapter or by a more professional DIN-rail mountable power supply (contact Speedgoat for more information on this).

The Automation real-time target machine has mainly been designed for the use in a machine cabinet. For other use cases we therefore recommend our other Real-time target machines: Performance, Mobile, Modular.
