IPC2110A vs IPC2115A
With the IPC2115A, you’re getting an Industrial Box PC with a faster processor, memory and SSD, 2 additional serial ports, higher resolution display options, extended operating temperature, built-in I/O and a remote power switch option.
CPU Differences
| Model | IPC2110A | IPC2115A |
| CPU | Intel® Quad Core™ Celeron® J4125 Gemini Lake Processor @2.0GHz | Intel® Quad Core™ Alder Lake-N N100 Quad-Core, up to 3.4GHz |
| Differences | Turbo Speed: 2.7GHz CPU Mark: 2936 | Turbo Speed: 3.4GHz CPU Mark: 5361 |
This adds an 82% increase in CPU mark from the IPC2110A to the IPC2115A, contributing to an overall faster and stronger CPU.
System Memory Differences
| Model | IPC2110A | IPC2115A |
| System Memory Options | 1 x DDR4 260-pin SO-DIMM RAM (4, 8, 16 GB) | 1 x DDR5 SO-DIMM RAM (8, 16 GB) |
| Differences | Data Transfer: 1600 – 3200 MT/s Bandwidth: 12.8 – 25.6 GB/s Slower | Data Transfer: 4800 – 8400+ MT/s Bandwidth: 38.4 – 67.2 GB/s Overall, much faster |
DDR5 RAM is much more efficient compared to DDR4 with both faster data transfer speed and higher bandwidth.
USB Differences
| Model | IPC2110A | IPC2115A |
| USB | 2 x USB 2.0 4x USB 3.0 | 7 x USB 2.0 1 x USB 3.0 |
| Differences | 6 total USB ports | 8 total USB ports |
USB 3.0 is better for data transfer, however in the industrial environment, this feature is less likely used compared to a consumer environment. Having an additional 2 USB ports overall is more beneficial in this industry for extra USB devices such as barcode scanners.
Serial Differences
| Model | IPC2110A | IPC2115A |
| Serial | 1 x RS-232/485-2W DE-9P, COM3 (default RS-232) 3 x RS-232 DE-9P (COM1/COM2/COM4) | 2 x RS-232/485 DE-9P (COM1/COM2) 4 x RS-232 DE-9P (COM3/COM4/COM5/COM6) |
| Differences | 4 total serial ports & only 1 of those have RS-485 compatibility. | 6 total serial ports including 2 ports with RS-485 compatibility. Serial port configuration for COM1 & COM2 are set in BIOS. |
This adds a total of 2 extra serial ports to the IPC2115A with the additional RS-485 compatibility making it more versatile for serial devices.
Display Interfaces Differences
| Model | IPC2110A | IPC2115A |
| Display Interfaces | 1 x HDMI® 1.4b port (max. 4096 x 2160 pixels @30Hz) 1 x Display Port™ (max. 4096 x 2160 pixels @60Hz) | 2 x HDMI® 2.0 (max 4096 x 2160 @60Hz) |
| Differences | HDMI 1.4b Bandwidth: 10.2 Bpbs HDMI 1.4b Resolution: 4K @ 30Hz Display Port 1.4 Bandwidth: 32.4 Gbps Display Port Resolution: 8K @ 60Hz | Bandwidth: 18 Gpbs Resolution: 4K @ 60Hz |
IPC2110A previously had 1 lower end HDMI 1.4b port and one display port 1.4 whereas the IPC2115A now has two higher end HDMI2.0 ports. A display port 1.4 is generally used more for gaming and can stream 8k video @ 60Hz which is not applicable in the industrial automation environment. HDMI 2.0 still streams 4k video @60Hz
SSD Differences
| Model | IPC2110A | IPC2115A |
| SSD | 1 x 2.5” SATA3 MLC (64, 128, 256, 512 GB, 1 TB) | 1 x M.2 2280 NVME 3D TLC (128, 256, 512 GB, 1 TB, 2 TB SSD) |
| Differences | Data transfer: 480 to 580Mbps | Data Transfer: 3200 to 6200Mbps Memory lasts longer in active use. Compact M.2, direct slot. Better for speed and performance. |
SATA3 meets the basic requirements for Windows 11, however M.2 NVME 3.0 x 4 is the optimal performer for Windows 11.
Mechanical/Environmental Differences
| Model | IPC2110A | IPC2115A |
| Dimensions (W x H x D) | 6.10 x 5.00 x 1.85 inches [155 x 127 x 47 mm] | 6.99 x 4.21 x 2.05 inches [177.6 x 112 x 52 mm] |
| Net Weight | Approx. 2.2 lbs. [1 kg] | Approx. 1.98 lbs. [.9 kg] |
| Operating Temperature | 41~104°F [5~40°C] | 32~122°F [0~50°C] |
| Storage Temperature | -4~140°F [-20~60°C] | -4~158°F [-20~70°C] |
Differences: IPC2115A is slightly bigger in dimensions but lighter in weight and has a wider operating and storage temperature range. VESA mounting remains the same.
Windows OS
| Model | IPC2110A | IPC2115A |
| Windows OS | Windows 11 Enterprise GAC | Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC |
Windows 11 LTSC requires less frequent updates and offers more stability with a longer supported lifestyle than GAC. LTSC is more fitted for an industrial environment whereas GAC is better suited for home and personal use.
Unique to IPC2115A
| Digital IO | 1 x 12 Pin Terminal Block Connector (5-in, 5-out) | GPIO can be accessed and configured via BIOS menu. |
| Remote Power Switch | 2-Pin Connector Header | 2-pin jumper to allow for wiring momentary button for power control outside of cabinet. |
GPIO Benefits and Use Cases
GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) adds the advantage of enabling small 5V digital input/output signals to be connected directly to the IPC. Unlike the IPC2110A, which lacked this feature, GPIO allows for versatile interactions within the system. Common applications include:
- System alarms that trigger IO to turn devices on or off
- Equipment status monitoring
- Counting or event logging by tracking pulses to the IO
- Standard digital input/output functions, such as receiving signals from sensors or sending signals to actuators
Typical Use Cases:
Operating garage gate mechanisms
Controlling light indicators at bus or train stations
Remote Power Switch
The IPC2115A introduces the ability to power the device on and off via a remote switch located outside of the panel. This feature significantly enhances convenience, allowing operators to easily reset or restart the IPC without opening the panel or using physical access to the device.
