Why SCALANCE LPE (Local Processing Engine)?

SCALANCE LPE is a small, robust local processing engine with a powerful CPU that collects, pre-processes, and analyzes data directly at the process for edge applications. This allows you to significantly boost the efficiency of your plants by handling multiple applications simultaneously. Its open, Linux-based system provides maximum flexibility, allowing you to implement self-developed applications.

FEATURED CAPABILITIES

Key Features

Industrial design

Designed for use in temperatures from –40°C to +60°C. The local processing engine is fanless, has redundant power supply, and fits any control cabinet due to its compact design. With its powerful CPU, SCALANCE LPE can handle multiple applications simultaneously. A wide range of approvals, including railway and hazardous Zone 2, extends its application range.
