"IPC" is a general term, not a single product. Its meaning is set by context: an IPC (industrial PC) is a rugged computer built for factory and automation use, while IPC in computing also refers to instructions per cycle, a measure of how much work a processor completes per clock tick. The facts available here cover both meanings, so this page treats the query as a search for an industrial PC of the kind used in Schneider Electric automation systems. The closest Thinvent match is the IPC1 industrial PC, which offers Intel and AMD processor options, up to 64 GB of RAM and up to 2 TB of SSD storage in a compact housing.
