What Is a DIN Rail Industrial PC?
A DIN rail industrial PC is a compact industrial computer that mounts directly on a standard TS35 DIN rail. The mounting rail is the same metal rail used for terminal blocks, relays and power supplies in control cabinets. Mounting the computer on this rail saves panel space and keeps wiring organised.
DIN rail PCs are used in factory automation, building management systems and IoT gateways. They run control software, collect sensor data and communicate with machines and networks inside the cabinet.
