HARTING: MICA mini industrial computer with EtherCAT board

HARTING's MICA® mini industrial computer now is available with an EtherCAT board, allowing data to be collected directly from industrial production networks, preprocessed and forwarded to IT systems.

Creating the EtherCAT functionality as an internal function module enables MICA to deliver further benefits, such as protection class IP67. MICA's modular Open Source Software Architecture makes it the ideal solution for developing edge and cloud applications in production, company officials said in a press release.

MICA also has been certified for Microsoft Azure for IoT. Microsoft's certification process places certain demands on end devices so that they work seamlessly with Microsoft Azure services. To achieve the certification, the MICA went through a series of tests provided by Microsoft to evaluate the functionality of the hardware.

The "Microsoft Azure Certified for IoT" program is intended to help speed up Internet of Things (IoT) projects with Azure. With Azure, Microsoft provides a collection of integrated Cloud services to create, deploy and manage applications across a global network of data centers.
