CUSTOMISED EMBEDDED PC for NETWORK RAIL
Amplicon has been building industrial computers in the UK for over 15 years. During this time, our service level to customers has evolved from the supply of simple off the shelf industrial computer configurations to fully customised computing solutions and OEM designs for a wide range of applications.

Our latest case study highlights how Amplicon worked with TEW Plus, a leading telecoms and security systems integrator designing and manufacturing a cutting-edge CCTV level crossing surveillance system for Network Rail.

TEW Plus required a custom built, small form-factor, embedded PC which met stringent rail approvals. In this case study we discuss how Amplicon turned a complex industrial PC requirement into a successful solution.

The power of xeon - Amplicon Impact-S series upgraded!
The power of Xeon - Amplicon Impact-S servers Amplicon proudly announce an upgrade to the long-standing Impact-S series.

The recently introduced powerful E5 v2 Intel Xeon processor in single or dual CPU configurations, allows the Impact-S series to support up to 512GB ECC LRDIMM, or up to 64GB non-ECC memory.

The Impact-S series can offer up to 32 hard drives; these can be configured in varying arrangements of RAID; from RAID 1, through to multi-nested arrays. The upgrade also allows for IPMI integration, using v1.5/2.0 for system administrators and out-of-band service/support, saving on potentially costly site visits. This series also now supports Windows Server 2008, Server 2012 and many options for Linux operating systems.

The Impact-S range can be fully customised to suit your storage needs, including custom OEM branding to give that unique and professional finish.

All-in-one automation network management software
MXView network management softwareMXview network management software is designed for configuring, monitoring and diagnosing network devices in Ethernet networks. It is specifically designed for industrial automation networks rather than enterprise class IT networks. This software is capable of automatically rendering any network topology in an easy to grasp graphical user interface and can deliver real time details on network operations.

MXview speeds up network troubleshooting by immediately displaying any device or link failure on a network, the software will also record network events which can be played back by network operators to help diagnose the root cause of a network issue.

For more information on the benefits of industrial network management software and a comparison to their enterprise class counterparts, please read our latest white paper: Industrial Network Management: Finding the Perfect Solution.
