The modular design of the IPC964A series allows you to sel ect a combination of expansion slots and input/output ports that are suitable for your tasks. Table №1 lists all available modules for configuring IPC964A computer systems. Only one position can be selected from each column.

Expansion Slots and Modules for IPC964A (up to one module from each column)
Modular Panel №2 Input/Output Ports: System, Expansion Slots:
Dummy Plug (Default) IPC964A-Q-E1F6: 1 x PCIe x16 + 3 PCIe x4
IPC964A-Q-E2F6: 1 x PCIe x16 + 1 PCIe x4 + 2 PCI
AX93511: 4 x RS-232/422/485 with isolation (default RS-232)
AX93512: 2 x RS-232/422/485 with 1.5kVDC isolation & 8-in/8-out with 1.5kVDC isolation DIO module
AX93516: 4 x RS-232/422/485 with 2kVDC isolation module
AX93519: 1 x 10/100/1000 Mbps (Intel® i211-AT) Ethernet, 2 x RS-232/422/485, and 2 x USB 3.0 module
MIO160: 6 x RS-232 (4-wire: TX/RX/RTS/CTS)/422/485 with isolated 2.5kVDC & 2 x CAN bus with isolated 2.5kVDC module

In addition to the input/output ports that can be obtained using modules, the IPC964A series computers feature the following on their chassis: two RJ-45 standard LAN connectors, six USB-A ports for peripheral device connections, one HDMI and one DP++ for up to 4K resolution image output, one DVI-D output, one serial port, two external antenna sockets, a 24-volt DC power input connector, and a power button.

For all modular configurations of the IPC964A series, support for discrete PCI-E video adapters up to 200 watts is available. Additionally, optional expansion boards are provided by the manufacturer: AX92320: 4-port PCI Express GbE PoE network card (4 LAN ports at 1 Gbps with PoE power) and a href="/catalog/ax92320-4gbe/">AX92351: 32-in/32-out or 64-in/64-out isolated 1.5kV DIO module (digital input/output port).

For data storage in IPC964A, the compartment for installing two 2.5” drives with RAID 0/1 support has been redesigned, along with an M.2 Key M 2280 (PCIe x4 Gen4) expansion slot.

Given that voltage fluctuations are common in industrial environments, IPC964A computers are compatible with input voltages ranging fr om 18 to 36V DC, allowing for easy integration into various industrial automation systems.

The modular IPC964A computers are compatible with Microsoft Windows 10/11/Linux operating systems and serve as an ideal computing system for a wide range of tasks in industrial automation. Their compact form factor and wide operating temperature range of -20 to 70°C allow IPC964A computers to be placed in limited spaces and non-heated environments.
