1. Structural dimensions

Wall-mounted industrial computers primarily consist of wall-mounted enclosures and frames, while rack-mounted industrial computers utilize rack structures. Wall-mounted industrial computers are more compact than 4U rack-mounted PCs . The interior of the enclosure is larger than that of conventional enclosures, thus optimizing the use of space on the three-dimensional surface. In contrast, the interior space utilization of rack-mounted industrial computers is relatively limited.

2. Installation method

Wall-mounted industrial computers are typically installed by hanging or lying flat against the wall, rather than being installed on a rack like rack-mounted industrial computers. This is also why wall-mounted industrial computers are so popular. Although their physical size is relatively small, they are very similar to 4U industrial PCs in terms of functionality.

3. Expandability

4. Wall-mounted industrial computers are recommended.

The device features three Gigabit network ports, supports network activation and power-on, and is equipped with six standard DB-9 COM ports, making it compatible with a wide range of devices. For expansion, it offers three PCIe and one PCI expansion slot, supporting GPU cards, motion control cards, sensing cards, and more. This enables it to support the age of industrial intelligence and be suitable for a variety of industrial scenarios, such as industrial automation, call centers, data acquisition, customer management, telephone customer service, and other areas. We also offer industrial PCs with GPUs and industrial PCs with PCI slots , among others.

5. Conclusion

There are obvious differences between wall-mounted and rack-mounted industrial computers in terms of appearance, size, features, and installation methods. Thanks to its compact design and powerful functions, it is increasingly used in industrial control applications, especially in space-constrained environments.
