The IPC-221 from Advantech is a space-saving compact industrial computer chassis, packing desktop CPU performance (65W) into a compact box PC (240 x 233 x 93 mm) with a single-sided I/O layout. It delivers stable, high-performance computing to meet a wide range of industrial control requirements.
Multi-generation CPU support
The IPC-221 features a new flat design (240 x 233 x 93 mm) that saves vertical space, making it particularly suitable for cabinet installation. It can be paired with Advantech’s PCE-2x series motherboards and supports a wide range of CPU options, including Intel® Celeron®, Pentium® and Core™ i3, i5, and i7 (10th, 12th, 13th, and 14th Generation) processors, as well as the latest Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 2 (Ultra 5, Ultra 7, Ultra 9), providing both performance and flexibility.
The IPC-221 is capable of supporting high-load industrial applications, such as soft motion axis control and HMI data visualisation, ensuring real-time processing and system stability. When paired with the latest PCE-2134 or PCE-2034 CPU modules, the IPC-221 leverages its built-in NPU to enable the efficient execution of lightweight AI workloads at the edge. This makes the IPC-221 an ideal solution for smart manufacturing and automation.
Expanded I/O for greater functionality
It offers extensive I/O expansion, including two full-height PCIe slots for additional expansion cards and multiple COM ports for easy connection to external devices. The Remote Switch function enhances integration flexibility, allowing the IPC-221 to be deployed in diverse smart manufacturing scenarios and to meet various industrial requirements.
Compact design, high performance
With its compact design, high-performance computing and extensive I/O expansion, the IPC-221 is an excellent choice for compact device integration, smart factories and industrial automation. Engineered for diverse industrial scenarios, the IPC-221 acts as an edge controller, coordinating motion control, data acquisition, and vision systems to form a closed-loop architecture. It is also widely deployed in smart production lines for online coding, data collection and for significantly enhancing operational efficiency.
