Rockwell Automation’s Industrial Data Centre is your manageable, cost-effective gateway to virtualisation

Did you know that by adopting virtualisation today, you could save your business money?

Virtualisation has become widely adopted as a standard in the information technology industry and is now becoming a growing trend in the manufacturing and production industries.

You could discover such benefits as:

• Reduced server footprint
• Extended application longevity
• Improved infrastructure reliability with management and recovery features
• Engineered specifically for use in production and manufacturing environments

The Industrial Data Centre (IDC) from Rockwell Automation can help your business realise these cost savings through a pre-engineered, scalable infrastructure offering.

All of the hardware you need to run multiple operating systems and multiple applications from virtualised servers are included in the cost.

As a pre-engineered solution, the Industrial Data Centre is designed to ease the transition to a virtualised environment for your business, saving you time and money. Instead of ordering five different pieces of equipment with five purchase orders, in addition to hiring the correct certified installation professionals to get you up and running, the Industrial Data Centre combines equipment from industry leaders that are pre-configured specifically for the manufacturing and production industries.

The 5274A can transfer a maximum of 128 samples, either on one channel, or evenly divided over the module’s four channels, making it possible to capture data from up to four different analogue sources (e.g. weigh scale, thermo-couple, vacuum sensor, etc.)

Product features:

• 50µs data sampling rate
• Data export for analysis and/or records
• Four High Speed Analog Inputs
• Four Digital Inputs
