EDATEC ED-IPC3100: Raspberry Pi CM5 and Broadcom BCM2712-Based Industrial Computer with 4G LTE and 4K HDMI

The EDATEC ED-IPC3100 industrial computers feature a durable metallic case designed to withstand external shocks and support DIN-rail installation. Built around the latest Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5) powered by the Broadcom BCM2712 SoC, the ED-IPC3100 offers advanced connectivity options, including dual-band 2.4GHz/5GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 4G LTE.

The system provides up to 16GB LPDDR4 RAM and 32GB eMMC storage, with additional support for a Micro SD card and a SIM card slot. A Micro USB port is available for flashing the system to eMMC, and storage can be expanded via an M.2 NVMe SSD slot. The device also includes an HDMI Type-A port compatible with the HDMI 2.1 standard, enabling 4K resolution displays at 60Hz.

Designed for industrial applications, the ED-IPC3100 supports a 9V to 36V input range and comes with a 12-pin 3.5 mm pitch Phoenix terminal with an I/O isolator. It features four isolated RS232/RS485 COM ports, equipped with electrostatic and surge protection for reliable communication in demanding environments.
