EDATEC ED-IPC3100 is a range of four DIN-Rail mountable industrial computers based on the new Raspberry Pi CM5 (Compute Module 5) with two Ethernet ports, and various RS232 or RS485 COM port options depending on the selected model.
The ED-IPC3100 computers are offered with the CM5 with up to 16GB LPDDR5, 64GB eMMC flash, and optional WiFI 5 and Bluetooth 5. All also feature one HDMI port, two USB 2.0 ports, 9V to 36V DC input, and the EDC-IPC3120 model also adds a 3.5mm audio jack and internal connectors for a speaker, MIPI DSI and HDMI video output interfaces, and a MIPI CSI camera.

EDATEC provides Raspberry Pi OS 32-bit/64-bit (Desktop/Lite) images including the necessary drivers for the Raspberry Pi CM5-based industrial PCs. We also asked for internal photos of the systems which show the CM5 module installed on the same EDATEC ED-IPC21x0 carrier board used for the previous generation ED-IPC2100 industrial computers based on Raspberry Pi CM4.
Apart from the Raspberry Pi CM4 being replaced by a CM5, the specifications for the ED-IPC3100 industrial computers look identical to the ones for the ED-IPC2100 family. So we asked EDATEC if there were any other differences, and they replied there were only “a few cosmetic differences”.
The company did not provide pricing information at this time, but they told us samples will be sold through AliExpress. For reference, the ED-IPC2110-14084-10 model with WiFi/Bluetooth, 4GB RAM, 8GB eMMC flash, and a 4G LTE module sold for $288 plus shipping, so I’d expect around $300 for the similar ED-IPC3110-10416-4US with 16GB eMMC flash. Note that the company will typically only sell one model on AliExpress, but if you need one of the many other variants (see illustration below), you’d need to contact them directly. Additional information may be found on the product page.
