CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (Oct. 29, 2025) - Emerson has announced the addition of an enhanced central processing unit (CPU) and memory options for the PACSystems™ IPC 2010 Compact Industrial PC (IPC). The IPC 2010 delivers high-efficiency computing performance and graphics capabilities in an extremely compact yet ruggedized form factor. 

This makes it well suited for demanding computing tasks in remote field locations, such as connecting with PLCs, cameras, sensors, flow meters, valve manifolds, and any other intelligent devices requiring data connectivity, visualization, and analytics. Available software applications include support for time-series data logging, remote monitoring, leak detection, preventative maintenance, and many other roles.

Like other award-winning products in the PACSystems IPC product line, the IPC 2010 uses fan-less cooling technology and soldered memory to ensure high reliability and a long deployment life, yielding a beneficial total cost of ownership. Patented Emerson technologies and a long history of industrial experience provide user confidence that the IPC 2010 will withstand even the harshest temperature and vibration conditions for extended timeframes.

Specifiers can still select the original 2-core CPU, and now they have the option to choose the new 4-core CPU for more demanding applications, in either case with 2 or 4 gigabytes of DDR4 memory. The IPC 2010 comes with two 10/100/1000 BASE-T Ethernet ports, one DisplayPort via USB-C, two USB 2.0 ports, and one RS-232 port for flexible connectivity, with eMMC 64 GB internal storage and one MicroSD card slot for removeable storage. Two operating temperature ranges are available: commercial -20 to +70 degrees Celsius, and extended -40 to +70 degrees C. 

The IPC 2010 is ideal for several edge computing roles and can be ordered in one of four configurations:

  • Linux™: A basic operating system-only version, ideal for custom development by users.
  • PACEdge: A flexible edge enablement platform with all the tools necessary to collect, store, process, share, visualize, secure, and integrate data.
  • PACEdge with Connext: A gateway communications center with built-in protocol libraries to manage data flows among field devices, software applications, and the cloud—effortlessly and safely.
  • PACEdge with Connext and WebHMI: A comprehensive visualization solution with powerful tools, providing effective displays and fast delivery and interpretation of critical data.

As part of Emerson’s Floor to Cloud™ vision, the IPC 2010 enables end users, systems integrators, and original equipment manufacturers to create industrial internet of things and other advanced edge computing solutions.
