What is an Industrial PC? Part 6: DIN rails

As diverse as industrial applications can be, so diverse are our industrial PCs. For every application there is the right product in our product range. The use in control cabinets also entails various requirements for a Mini-PC. This also includes the so-called supporting rails, also known as DIN rails or DIN rails.

What is a mounting rail or DIN rail?

DIN rails are either fixed to the PC or can optionally be purchased as accessories. They are used to install a PC particularly quickly and easily in a control cabinet. Systems that are used in control cabinets can also be replaced with a few simple steps, which would be a great deal of effort without the rails.

Which spo-comm Mini-PCs have DIN rails?

Especially for the use in control cabinets, we have a very special Mini-PC in our product range: our MOUNT Silver. It is the first system to be designed primarily for application in control cabinets thanks to its fixed mounting rail.

However, well-known systems from spo-comm can also be upgraded with the help of an optional mounting rail for use in control cabinets. These include the Mini-PCs of the BRICK series and those of the WINDBOX series. The DIN rail mounts can easily be added in the configurator on these four PCs in our online shop .In this way, these systems also arrive at our customers equipped for control cabinet applications.
