►EPC-S12X2A Video
Would you like to know how to choose the right industrial PC, including factors such as display size, mounting method, and front-panel waterproof rating? These considerations are especially important in hygiene-critical industries such as food & beverage and chemical processing, where frequent cleaning and disinfectants can gradually corrode aluminum front panels.
To meet these requirements, our solutions include not only stainless steel enclosures but also anti-corrosion surface treatments for aluminum front panels. In many cases, success or failure depends on attention to detail. Our team is well aware of these potential pitfalls and understands which aspects require special attention. We are committed to helping you select the most suitable Panel PC for your application.
►FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the EPC-S12X2A series used for?
A: The EPC-S12X2A is a 12-inch fanless industrial Panel PC series used for HMI terminals, SCADA operator stations, CNC machine control panels, PLC interfaces, building automation systems, and compact production line control stations. At 12 inches, it offers a larger display area than 10-inch models while maintaining a more compact footprint than 15-inch units — making it well-suited for control cabinets where space is limited but operator visibility is important.
Q: What is the panel cutout size for embedding the EPC-S12X2A?
A: The panel cutout size for embedded installation is 277.9 × 222.7 mm. Overall unit dimensions are 299.0 × 237.5 × 74.6 mm, and the unit weighs 2.1 kg. Wall-mount and VESA mount options are also supported.
Q: How do I choose between the 10-inch (EPC-S10X2A) and 12-inch (EPC-S12X2A) models?
A: Both series share identical processor options, I/O configurations, IP65 protection, and BlockCore™ architecture. The key difference is display size and chassis dimensions. Choose the 12-inch model when operators need to view multiple data fields or graphical process screens simultaneously — for example, on CNC machine panels or building management terminals. Choose the 10-inch model when the control cabinet has very limited panel space, typically under 250mm of usable width.
Q: What is BlockCore™ and why does it matter for long-term reliability?
A: BlockCore™ is CESIPC’s proprietary modular architecture used across the EPC series. It uses board-to-board connections that eliminate internal wiring harnesses — the most common failure point in traditional embedded panel PCs. The cableless internal design also reduces assembly tolerances and makes hardware upgrades or repairs faster without full unit replacement.
Q: How many serial ports does the EPC-S12X2A have?
A: The EPC-S12X2A includes 2× RS-232 and 1× RS-485 serial ports (DB9 connectors) — three interfaces in total. Additional COM ports can be added via BlockCore™ expansion cards if the application requires more serial connections.
Q: What power supply does the EPC-S12X2A require?
A: The EPC-S12X2A accepts 9–36V DC wide-range input via a 3-pin pluggable terminal block, compatible with standard 12V and 24V industrial DC power rails. It supports AT (auto power-on) and ATX boot modes, and SafeCore™ protects data integrity during unexpected power loss.
