Industrial Computer 2.5G/1G LAN 2xRS485 2xRS232 CM5 - IPCBOX-CM5-B (EU)

Description

Industrial computer designed for use with Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5, featuring dual Ethernet ports with 1 Gbps and 2.5 Gbps throughput for advanced networking applications. The design is based on a dedicated baseboard providing a wide range of communication interfaces, including two RS485 ports and two RS232 ports, as well as CAN interface and digital input/output lines.

The device supports HDMI video output with resolution up to 4K and allows expansion with 4G/5G communication modules via the M.2 B KEY interface. An additional M.2 M KEY slot enables installation of NVMe storage, improving read and write performance compared to microSD cards. The system is suitable for automation, monitoring and industrial communication applications.

The aluminum alloy enclosure improves heat dissipation, while the built-in cooling system ensures stable operation in demanding environments. The device supports DIN rail and VESA mounting, making it suitable for industrial control systems, IoT and embedded applications requiring reliable operation.
