SCALANCE LPE is a small, robust local processing engine with a powerful CPU. It is flexibly usable for cloud and edge applications that allow you to significantly boost the efficiency of your plants. With SCALANCE LPE, data can be collected, analyzed, and forwarded to higher-level systems such as cloud platforms.

Acquiring manufacturing data, such as temperature, maintenance information, and utilization rates, along with pre-processing on the SCALANCE LPE opens up numerous possibilities in terms of predictive maintenance or anomaly detection. Applications running directly on the device can take over important services in the plant like network services or simple visualization tasks.

Thanks to its powerful CPU, the processing engine can handle several applications simultaneously. Its Linux-based operating system allows you to implement your own self-developed apps as well as applications available on the market (such as Docker©) with one device.

SCALANCE LPE is designed for use in temperatures ranging from –40°C to +60°C. The processing engine is fanless, provides a redundant power supply, operates without batteries (less maintenance effort) and fits in any control cabinet thanks to its compact design. Several mounting options are possible, e.g., SIMATIC S7-1500 and S7-300 DIN rail mounting and direct wall mounting. Due to the SIMATIC S7-1500 design, the processing engine is optimally suited for integration into an automation solution with SIMATIC S7-1500 components. Seamless integration into the SCALANCE network components as well as the SINEC network management portfolio.
