    Introduction The PPC-IPS module is a lightweight intelligent power management system designed to protect panel PCs from electrical damage. During power interruptions/ fluctuations, the module can serve as a temporary power source to ensure safe shut- downs and reduce the risk of data losses. Moreover, the module can be easily installed on a DIN rail or affixed to the rear of a panel PC for easy deployment.
