EPC-302B Five Intel LAN Ports, Smart-Fan Cooled Industrial Box PC

5× Intel I210 LAN · 3× RS232 · 6× USB · HDMI + audio · 337 × 160 × 47.5 mm · 3.3 kg · External smart fan, fanless inside

Five Gigabit LAN ports and a hot-swappable smart fan are what the EPC-302B is built around. The fan is not inside the box: it sits on the outside of the chassis under an intelligent thermal control system that brings it in only when the processor load and the cabinet temperature ask for it, and it can be swapped in the field without opening the unit or sending it back. Inside, the board area is cooled passively, so there is no impeller pulling cabinet dust, metal filings or oil mist across the electronics. The five ports are Intel I210, and the same chassis carries 3× RS232, 6× USB, HDMI and audio at 337 × 160 × 47.5 mm and 3.3 kg.

Design notes

Why the fan belongs on the outside of the box

EPC-302B box PC — The fan lives outside the box, and you can swap it yourself

The fan lives outside the box, and you can swap it yourself

Most industrial PCs answer heat the same way: put a fan inside and pull unfiltered cabinet air across the boards. The EPC-302B does the opposite. Its hot-swappable smart fan is mounted on the outside of the chassis and driven by CESIPC’s intelligent thermal control system, which varies the speed against the real thermal load instead of running flat out from switch-on. When the fan eventually reaches end of life it is a field replacement — no opening of the enclosure, no return-to-factory, no downtime for the machine it is controlling.

  • Fan mounted outside the chassis — the board area stays passively cooled
  • Hot-swappable: replaced in the field without opening the unit
  • Speed follows temperature and load under intelligent thermal control
  • No impeller drawing cabinet dust or oil mist across the electronics
  • Aluminium extrusion + sheet metal, 3.3 kg gross, MTBF 60,000 hours

Five Intel I210 ports that let the networks stay apart

The EPC-302B carries five 10/100/1000M Intel I210 Gigabit LAN ports on one box. That is the difference between a machine that shares a switch and a machine that owns its own segments: the controller LAN, the plant or MES network, the camera subnet, the link to the next cell and the maintenance port can all be kept separate, each with its own address range and its own firewall rules. The applications the datasheet names — semiconductor equipment, machine vision inspection, AGVs, medical imaging and energy automation — are exactly the ones where mixing traffic is not acceptable.

  • 5× Intel I210 Gigabit LAN on one chassis
  • Machine LAN, plant LAN, camera subnet and service port kept separate
  • Intel NICs, so teaming, jumbo frames and VLAN tagging behave predictably
  • Mini PCIe socket free for 4G LTE, Wi-Fi or a fieldbus card
  • Bracket mount or VESA mount, 337 × 160 × 47.5 mm

EPC-302B box PC — A 12th Gen platform with three orderable builds

A 12th Gen platform with three orderable builds

The EPC-302B runs the Intel® Core™ 12th Gen family on DDR5: the base build is the i3-1215U, stepping up to the i5-1235U — the build the datasheet numbers, C10.03.04.005 — and the i7-1255U. Memory runs 8–32GB DDR5 across 2× M.2 SSD, and standard memory on each build is set by the factory so the part number fixes what arrives. The platform covers Windows 10 / 11 and Linux Ubuntu 16.04–22.04, with ODM support for custom BIOS, boot-on-LOGO and OEM branding.

  • 3 orderable builds: i3-1215U / i5-1235U / i7-1255U
  • Part numbers issued per configuration — C10.03.04.005 is the i5-1235U build
  • DDR5 8–32GB and 2× M.2 SSD
  • Windows 10 / 11 and Linux Ubuntu 16.04–22.04
  • CE / FCC / BIS to EN 55032 & EN 55035, EN IEC 61000-3-2, ISO 9001:2015

FAQ

EPC-302B frequently asked questions

Questions about the external hot-swappable fan and the intelligent thermal control system, the five Intel I210 LAN ports, the three 12th Gen builds and the 3.3 kg chassis.

Does the EPC-302B have a fan?

Yes — but not inside the box. The EPC-302B uses an external hot-swappable smart fan on the outside of the chassis, driven by CESIPC’s intelligent thermal control system; inside, the board area is cooled passively, with no impeller moving cabinet air across the electronics. The datasheet lists it under Thermal Management as “Hot-swappable fan with intelligent thermal control system”, and the page table row “Fan-less” refers to the internal cooling path, not to the box as a whole.

What does “hot-swappable fan” mean in practice?

It means the fan is a serviceable module: when it reaches the end of its life it is replaced in the field without opening the enclosure and without returning the unit to the factory. For a machine that runs three shifts, that turns a fan failure from a production stoppage into a scheduled maintenance item. The intelligent thermal control also keeps the fan at low speed until the load and the cabinet temperature justify more, which is what extends its life in the first place.

How many LAN ports does it have, and which controller?

Five 10/100/1000M Gigabit ports on Intel I210 controllers. Intel NICs matter here because the five ports are normally used as separate segments — teaming, VLAN tagging and jumbo frames behave predictably, and the driver support is the same one your IT team already qualifies. A Mini PCIe socket is left free for 4G LTE, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth or a fieldbus card.

What do five network ports let me do that two cannot?

Keep the networks apart without adding a switch. A typical five-port layout is: one port to the machine or PLC LAN, one to the plant/MES network, one dedicated to a vision camera subnet, one to the neighbouring cell or line controller, and one left for commissioning and maintenance. Each segment keeps its own address range and its own firewall rules, and no segment can see the others unless you route it. That is why the datasheet targets semiconductor equipment, machine vision inspection, AGVs, medical imaging and energy automation.

What serial, USB and display ports does it carry?

Per the EPC-302B datasheet: 3× RS232 on DB9, 2× USB 2.0 and 4× USB 3.0 — six Type-A ports in total — plus 1× HDMI, 3.5 mm TRRS audio and a Clear CMOS switch. Six USB ports is enough for a keyboard, a barcode scanner, a label printer and a licence dongle without an external hub.

Which processors can I order, and what are the part numbers?

Three standard builds on the Intel® Core™ 12th Gen platform: i3-1215U with 8GB standard memory, i5-1235U with 16GB, and i7-1255U with 8GB. The i5-1235U build is the one the datasheet numbers — C10.03.04.005. Part numbers for the other two builds are issued per configuration, because the datasheet states “CPU model may vary — contact sales for details”; the chassis, the five LAN ports and the I/O are identical across all three.

How much memory and storage does it take?

8–32GB DDR5 with 2× M.2 SSD. Two M.2 slots mean the operating system and the image or data archive can live on separate drives, which is the usual arrangement on the machine vision and medical imaging installations this model is aimed at. Standard memory is fixed by the build order, so the part number tells you what ships.

What power input does it use, and how is it mounted?

12V DC on a 2-pin aviation power connector, with 9–36V DC optional for vehicles, AGVs and DC-bus cabinets, and a rear ATX power button with an internal AT/ATX mode switch. The unit measures 337 × 160 × 47.5 mm with installation dimensions of 327 × 100 mm, weighs 3.3 kg gross, and mounts on a bracket or a VESA plate.

What environment and certifications does it hold?

Operating temperature is 0–50 ℃ as standard with −40–70 ℃ optional; storage is −10–60 ℃ and humidity is 10%–90% non-condensing. EMC is CE and FCC to EN 55032 & EN 55035 plus EN IEC 61000-3-2, the factory is ISO 9001:2015, and MTBF is 60,000 hours. BIS is listed on the product page, and ODM support covers custom BIOS, boot-on-LOGO and OEM branding.
