Overview
The HMIYPCI161 is a Schneider Harmony iPC expansion unit, order code HMIYPCI161, providing one PCI slot at 33 MHz and one slide-in slot for a 12" panel display. It is classified as package type PCE and is now discontinued, with the last production date recorded as 2021-02-08.
This expansion unit adds a standard PCI slot running at 33 MHz to a Harmony iPC base unit, allowing installation of a full-height PCI card such as a frame grabber, motion controller, or additional communication interface. The slide-in slot accepts a compatible 12" panel display module, integrating the screen into the same mechanical assembly.
Applications
Within the Harmony iPC family, the HMIYPCI161 is used to expand the connectivity of a Panel PC 12" platform, adding a PCI slot for industrial I/O, vision, or fieldbus cards that are not available in the base unit's form factor. Typical deployments include machine vision inspection stations, multi-axis motion control cells, and HMI/SCADA front-ends requiring a dedicated PCI communication card.
