►FAQ
EPC‑10XA Series — Fanless Embedded Industrial PC FAQ
Compact, headless industrial computer designed for control cabinets — from Celeron to 12th Gen Core, modular I/O expansion, and SafeCore power‑loss protection.
What makes the EPC‑10XA different from a standard commercial PC?+
• Fanless passive cooling — Uses a thermally engineered 6061 aluminum chassis as a passive radiator, eliminating dust intake, bearing failure, and scheduled fan replacement. Ideal for welding bays, metalworking shops, and CNC environments where metal dust, oil mist, and particulate would clog fan‑cooled systems.
• Industrial‑grade reliability — Supports -40°C to 70°C extended operating temperature, 9–36V DC wide‑range input that tolerates voltage fluctuations from servo drives, and IP65 front panel (on specific variants) for dust/splash resistance.
• BlockCore™ modular architecture — Standardized I/O expansion via i‑Door modules (CAN, 5‑port LAN, isolated serial, 5G) without custom PCB development.
• SafeCore™ power‑loss protection — Prevents OS/file corruption during sudden power loss, with one‑reboot recovery.
Standard commercial PCs lack all of these industrial‑grade features and typically fail within months in harsh automation environments.
What processor options and performance levels are available for the EPC‑10XA?+
The EPC‑10XA supports multiple CPU tiers on the same hardware platform, all sharing identical mechanical chassis, I/O layout, and mounting dimensions — simplifying spares logistics across a plant. Options include:
Intel Celeron® J1900 — Quad‑core 2.0–2.42GHz, 10W TDP, DDR3L 4–8GB. Entry‑level for lightweight HMI, data logging, and PLC gateway roles.
Intel Celeron® J6412 — Quad‑core 2.0–2.6GHz, 10W TDP, DDR4 4–32GB. Improved efficiency for light SCADA workloads.
10th Gen Intel® Core™ — i3‑10110U / i5‑10210U / i7‑10710U, up to 4.9GHz, 15W TDP, DDR4 4–32GB. Balanced performance for machine vision, batch reporting, and data acquisition.
12th Gen Intel® Core™ — i3‑1215U / i5‑1235U / i5‑1240P / i7‑1255U, hybrid architecture, 15W TDP, DDR5 4–32GB. High‑performance for edge AI, real‑time analytics, and multi‑axis trajectory planning.
Domestic platform options — Phytium, Rockchip processors also available for projects requiring local supply chain compliance.
The EPC‑10XA is available in four sub‑models (102A, 106A, 107A, 109A) covering these processor tiers, with I/O configurations varying slightly between Celeron and Core platforms.
What I/O ports and expansion capabilities does the EPC‑10XA offer?+
The EPC‑10XA provides a rich set of industrial interfaces.
Standard I/O (base platform): USB 2.0 ×2, USB 3.0 ×4, RS‑232 ×3 (DB9 connector), Audio, Mic, HDMI, VGA (supports dual independent displays), 2× Intel® I210 Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000M, PTP time sync support).
I/O variations by sub‑model: On Celeron‑based models (EPC‑106A/107A): 5× USB 2.0, 1× USB 3.0. On Core‑based models (EPC‑102A/109A): 2× USB 2.0, 4× USB 3.0.
Expansion: Dual M.2 2280 NVMe slots for high‑speed storage, M.2 2230 slot for Wi‑Fi + Bluetooth module, 1× Mini PCIe socket for wireless modules (4G/5G/GPIO expansion).
Modular I/O via BlockCore™ i‑Door: The i‑Door expansion slot accepts function modules — CAN bus, 5‑port LAN, isolated serial, 5G — snapping in without rewiring. System integrators can configure exact I/O maps for each work cell while using the same base unit across the line, dramatically cutting BOM complexity and inventory cost.
What is BlockCore™ modular architecture, and how does it benefit my project?+
BlockCore™ is CESIPC’s modular computing architecture that standardizes interface, structure, power, and expansion across all products. For the EPC‑10XA, BlockCore™ delivers:
1. Standardized I/O expansion — i‑Door expansion slots accept function modules (CAN, 5‑port LAN, isolated serial, 5G, GPIO) without custom PCB development.
2. Same chassis across CPU tiers — The mechanical chassis and I/O layout remain identical whether you choose Celeron J1900 or 12th Gen Core i7. This simplifies spares logistics and qualification across a plant.
3. Future‑proof upgrades — Upgrade from a Celeron to a 12th Gen Core i7 by swapping only the compute board (i‑Core Board). The enclosure, I/O connectors, and mounting dimensions remain unchanged — no re‑certification required.
4. LEGO MODE ecosystem — The i‑Function Board (functional expansion) and i‑Connect Board (I/O expansion) allow additional ports to be added without altering the base chassis. This modular approach reduces long‑term maintenance costs and enables phased project upgrades.
What protection does SafeCore™ provide, and why does it matter for industrial applications?+
SafeCore™ is CESIPC’s system‑level power‑loss protection architecture built into the EPC‑10XA. In industrial environments, plants often perform emergency shutdowns for cleaning cycles, lockout/tagout procedures, or experience voltage dips from large servo drives — events that can corrupt OS files and batch logs if power is removed abruptly. SafeCore™ provides:
• System‑level write protection — Blocks all unauthorized changes to the system; even after power failure, user error, or malware attack, system files automatically restore after reboot.
• One‑reboot recovery mechanism — System crash or file corruption? Just reboot — the system returns to a healthy working state. No technical skills needed.
• Zero IT support required — Anyone on the production floor can recover the system with a simple restart, reducing downtime.
• Safe disk writes — Prevents fragmentation or file corruption during sudden power loss, ensuring data integrity for production traceability logs and HACCP records.
Combined with auto power‑on recovery (the system automatically restarts when power returns), SafeCore™ is standard across all EPC‑10XA models and works in tandem with TPM 2.0 hardware security for encrypted authentication and data protection.
What are the mechanical specifications, mounting options, and environmental ratings?+
Dimensions: Compact 299(W) × 237.5(H) × 74.6(D) mm (full‑featured) or 229×160×47 mm (ultra‑compact variant) — fits easily inside standard control cabinets.
Mounting: Supports DIN rail mount for standard electrical cabinets, wall mount, and VESA mount for flexible installation. The small footprint leaves room for motion control cards, I/O terminal blocks, and power supplies in the same enclosure — no external PC cabinet required.
Enclosure: Industrial‑grade 6061 aluminum alloy + steel chassis, front panel IP65‑rated (specific variants) for dust and splash resistance.
Cooling: Fanless passive cooling — no moving parts, zero scheduled maintenance.
Operating temperature: 0°C ~ 50°C standard; optional -40°C ~ 70°C extended grade for cold storage, outdoor automation, and extreme environments.
Storage temperature: -10°C ~ 60°C.
Humidity: 10% ~ 90% RH, non‑condensing.
Power input: 9~36V DC wide‑range input with standard 12V DC — directly accepts 24V industrial power rails without additional DC‑DC conversion. Tolerates voltage fluctuations common when large servo drives switch loads on the same rail.
Boot modes: AT (auto power‑on) for unattended operation, or ATX (power button) for manual control.
Certifications: CE, FCC, BIS compliant (EN 55032 & EN 55035), factory ISO9001:2015 certified. MTBF 60,000 hours.

What are typical applications for the EPC‑10XA? How does it compare with a panel PC?+
The EPC‑10XA is a headless compute node designed to live inside control cabinets, while panel PCs (EPC‑S or EPC‑W series) are operator‑facing terminals. The recommended architecture pairs them together: EPC‑10XA inside the cabinet handles robot coordination, motion bus communication, real‑time data acquisition, and MES/SCADA client tasks. Panel PC at the operator station surfaces live process data, alarms, and production stats to operators.
Typical applications for EPC‑10XA include:
• CNC motion control — Pairs with motion control cards from OSAI, NcStudio, Weihong, and Syntec. The fanless design eliminates thermal throttling, ensuring consistent CPU frequency under continuous load. Multiple COM ports connect to motion card, spindle VFD, tool changer, and handwheel MPG without USB‑to‑serial adapters.
• Automotive production lines — Deployed in body welding and final assembly lines running robot coordination, PLC communication (Profinet/EtherCAT), and real‑time torque/vision data processing.
• Machine vision & edge AI — 12th Gen Core i7 platform with dual M.2 NVMe storage and optional 4G/5G connectivity for real‑time image analysis and edge inference.
• Industrial gateway & data acquisition — Celeron‑based models as cost‑effective PLC gateways, protocol converters, or data‑forwarding nodes.
• Oil & gas, water treatment, energy monitoring — Wide‑temperature (-40°C ~ 70°C) and wide‑voltage (9–36V DC) capabilities enable deployment in remote, unregulated environments.
