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.
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.
Maximum flexibility and openness to your ideas
As an open, Linux-based system, SCALANCE LPE enables you to implement your own self-developed applications. It can function as an industrial PC, edge device, for network anomaly detection, firewall, or router—and supports market-available apps, including Zero Trust remote access solutions.
Seamlessly integrable and system compatible
The housing follows the SIMATIC S7-1500 design, ensuring seamless integration with the SCALANCE and SINEC portfolios. Its dimensions and structure fit perfectly with other Siemens network management components.
Reliably future-proof for long-term use
Enables future-ready machine and plant concepts designed for long-term success. The flexible platform ensures you can leverage community developments for years without changing hardware.
