An Industrial Personal Computer (IPC), known as an Industrial Control Computer, is a ruggedized and enhanced personal computer. In layman's terms, it is a computer designed specifically for the industrial field, and can be used as an industrial controller to run reliably in an industrial environment. Its main structure and working principle is the same as a normal computer.
Industrial computers are usually bus-structured and can be used for inspection and control of production processes and electromechanical equipment and process equipment. In the industrial production process, industrial controllers and other equipment often need to face the challenges of harsh environments, such as dust, smoke, high/low temperatures, sewage, electromagnetic radiation, etc., and need to ensure data security.Therefore, industrial computers have higher requirements in terms of waterproof, explosion-proof and dust-proof to ensure the stability of production. In order to meet the actual needs of the industry, we have introduced various types of industrial computer products.
ATEX certified
ATEX certification means that electrical and non-electrical equipment used in explosive atmospheres in the EU undergoes a series of tests in accordance with the relevant standards of the EU Directive 2014/34/EU. Products that pass the test will have the ATEX mark printed on the product in a hexagonal shape, indicating that the product has complied with the requirements of the ATEX Directive. The main purpose of this certification is to avoid serious explosions.
We currently have the QT2200 (TFM version) series and the QT3400/3600 (TFM version) series of ATEX certified industrial computers, which are panel mounted industrial computers based on the Intel platform with a wide range of models and configurations to choose from.
