The Advantech IPC-220 is a compact, modular industrial computer chassis designed specifically for the PCE-2000 series CPU boards. It offers a perfect balance between size and expandability, making it ideal for space-constrained industrial environments such as machine control cabinets, manufacturing floors, and edge computing deployments.

Flexible Motherboard and Processor Support

The IPC-220 chassis is compatible with Advantech PCE-2000 series CPU boards, supporting a wide range of Intel Core i processors. It accommodates 6th/7th Gen Core i CPUs (LGA1151) as well as 10th Gen Core i CPUs (LGA1200), with chipset options including Intel Q170, H110, and Q470E. The system supports up to 64 GB DDR4 2666 MHz memory via two 260-pin SO-DIMM slots, delivering sufficient performance for industrial automation, machine vision, and data acquisition tasks.

High Expandability in Compact Form Factor

Despite its compact dimensions of 155 x 230 x 150 mm, the IPC-220 provides excellent expansion capabilities. It features one PCIe x16 slot and one PCIe x4 slot, allowing integration of various add-on cards such as motion control cards, vision frame grabbers, I/O cards, and even GPU cards for AI acceleration at the edge. The chassis also supports Advantech iDoor technology for additional I/O and communication expansion options.

Storage and I/O Features

For storage, the IPC-220 includes two shockproof 2.5" HDD/SSD drive bays (max height 15mm) and one mSATA slot, ensuring reliable data storage even in vibration-prone environments. The front I/O panel provides convenient access to 2 x USB 2.0 ports, 6 x USB 3.0 ports, 2 x Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports, HDMI and VGA display outputs, 2 x RS-232/422/485 serial ports, and audio jacks (Mic-in and Line-out). Additionally, the chassis offers front-accessible 12V@2A and 5V@2A power output for powering external devices.

Rugged Design for Industrial Environments

The IPC-220 is built to withstand demanding industrial conditions. It operates reliably in temperatures ranging from 0°C to 45°C and can be stored in temperatures from -40°C to 85°C. With vibration resistance of 2 Grms (with SSD) and shock resistance of 10G, it is suitable for use in machinery and equipment subject to constant movement and vibration. The chassis supports both wall mount and workbench placement, providing flexible installation options. It holds CCC, CE, FCC, and UL certifications, ensuring compliance with international safety and EMC standards.

Applications and Ecosystem

The IPC-220 is ideal for machine automation, industrial control, machine vision inspection, and edge computing applications. It is AWS IoT Greengrass qualified, enabling seamless connectivity to Amazon Web Services for cloud-based data analytics and remote management. With its combination of compact size, robust expansion, and rich I/O, the IPC-220 serves as a reliable foundation for building customized industrial computer systems tailored to specific application requirements.
