The Siemens SIMATIC IPC547D is a 19-inch rack PC for control and cell-level applications. Its facts describe a rack-mount form factor, and the operating instructions confirm the device is supplied with documentation for installation, commissioning and hardware expansion. The closest Thinvent match is the Thinvent Industrial PC IPC1, which is also an industrial PC and is available with Intel and AMD processors. The IPC1 is a compact fanless unit, so it is not a 19-inch rack PC.
