Technical Information


The SPEED7-concept was created for industrial applications with extreme environmental conditions. In comparison to the open processor architecture, such as the Pentium4®- Derivate, which produces between 60W ~ 100W dissipation and depends on the engine-power class, the PLC 7000-Processor produces a dissipation power of only 1.2W max.
