As a modular box PC in the Harmony iPC range, the HMIBMU0I29D200A serves as the compute platform for HMI and SCADA applications, running Windows-based runtime environments. Its 8 GB of DDR3 RAM (non-expandable) determines the size of the application it can host — sufficient for multi-tag visualization and data logging, while the 512 KB MRAM retains critical process variables across power cycles without a battery. Two mini PCIe full-size slots accept expansion cards for fieldbus, additional Ethernet, or serial interfaces, and the Intel QM87 chipset supports display resolutions up to 3200 x 2000 pixels at 60 Hz. The internal SATA bay accepts a slide-in HDD/SSD (HMIYMADSDD1) for hot-swap RAID via Intel Rapid Storage Technology, and a CFast slot provides boot or storage flexibility. A watchdog timer configurable from 1 to 255 ms monitors application health and triggers a system reset if the software hangs — critical for unattended machine operation.
Applications
Harmony iPC modular box PCs of this class are deployed as the central compute node in industrial HMI and SCADA systems — packaging lines, material handling cells, water treatment skids, and OEM machinery — running operator interfaces, data historians, and edge analytics directly on the machine floor.
The HMIBMU0I29D200A measures 254.0 mm wide by 205.74 mm high and supports flat, wall, and book mounting orientations, giving panel builders flexibility in cabinet layout. The screw-type ground connector at the bottom and the SMA antenna connector at the top are pre-wired; ensure the ground pigtail is kept short to maintain EMC compliance per the Class A group 1 standards listed. Cooling is fanless by default; a fan is required only when PCI/PCIe cards above 3 W are installed. The conformal-coated enclosure protects against condensation in humid environments.
