Packages included with the NPE/iMod

NPE is a reliable industrial computer based on the Linux system, equipped with many interfaces and protocols. The R&D department of the TECHBASE Group Sp. z o.o. company constantly works to implement new protocols and packages and to modify and optimize existing packages.

Packages enable fast and easy installation of the applications found in them. In order to facilitate the installation of selected packages, some of them are available to the user just after the NPE device is connected to the Internet from the level of the console through the use of the Software Manager.

All packages available for installation from the level of the console have been presented in the table below:
