EPC-S1522B Five Intel LAN Ports with Intelligent Thermal Control

15″ 1280 × 1024 · 12th Gen Core i3-1215U · 5× Intel LAN · 7 kg

Five Intel I210 Gigabit ports and a hot-swappable smart fan in one 15-inch panel. The EPC-S1522B is the network-dense member of the range: five separate segments — machine, plant, camera subnet, cell-to-cell and service — without a switch in the cabinet, and an intelligent thermal control system that runs the panel passively until the load or the ambient temperature asks for more, with a fan that can be replaced in the field. Behind the IP65 front bezel it carries 3× RS232, six USB ports and a 1280 × 1024 display, and it runs the 12th Gen Core platform on DDR5.

Design notes

Why five network ports and a smart fan belong in the panel

EPC-S1522B panel PC — Five ports, because four segments are not enough

Five ports, because four segments are not enough

A line that talks to a PLC, a plant MES server, a camera subnet and the next cell already uses four. The EPC-S1522B adds a fifth, which is what lets a panel keep the commissioning or remote-access path separate from the production traffic instead of borrowing a port and re-addressing it every time somebody needs access. All five are Intel I210, so teaming, VLAN tagging and jumbo frames behave the way the plant network expects, and none of the segments can see the others unless you route it.

  • 5× Intel I210 Gigabit LAN on the panel
  • Machine, plant, camera, cell-to-cell and service segments separated
  • No managed switch inside the cabinet
  • Intel NICs — predictable VLAN, teaming and jumbo-frame behaviour
  • 1× Mini PCIe socket free for 4G, Wi-Fi or a fieldbus card

Passively cooled, with fan assist only when it is needed

The EPC-S1522B runs fanless in normal operation: no noise, no filter, and no air path pulling cabinet dust, filings or oil mist across the boards. When the processor load or the cabinet temperature reaches the thermal threshold, the intelligent thermal control system brings in fan assist, and the fan itself is hot-swappable — a field replacement rather than a return-to-factory. It is the same thermal design used on the box PC range, applied where the heat source is a 15-inch panel in a sealed door.

  • Fanless passive in normal operation — no filter to clean
  • Automatic fan assist when load or ambient temperature rises
  • Hot-swappable fan: replaced in the field, no factory return
  • Front bezel rated IP65, so the face can be wiped down
  • 0–50 ℃ standard, −40–70 ℃ optional

1280 × 1024 at 4:3 is the standard 15-inch industrial format, and the EPC-S1522B is dimensioned for the opening most machine builders already have: 359.9 × 283.9 × 75.1 mm with a cutout of 342.4 × 269.4 mm. The display is 350 cd/m² at 450:1 with a backlight rated beyond 50,000 hours, and the touchscreen is multi-touch projected capacitive at 85% transmittance. Three RS232 channels on DB9 keep the instruments and legacy controllers connected without converters.

  • 1280 × 1024 350 cd/m², 450:1, backlight > 50,000 h
  • Multi-touch P-CAP, 85% transmittance, USB controller
  • 3× RS232 (DB9) plus 2× USB 2.0 and 4× USB 3.0
  • HDMI output; 12V DC (9–36V optional), AT / ATX startup

FAQ

EPC-S1522B frequently asked questions

Questions about the five Intel LAN ports, the intelligent thermal control system and its hot-swappable fan, the 15-inch 4:3 cutout, the serial and USB ports, the processor builds and the IP65 front.

What is the EPC-S1522B, and what is it built around?

It is a 15-inch 4:3 industrial panel PC with five Intel I210 Gigabit LAN ports and an intelligent thermal control system. The five ports let a single panel keep the machine network, the plant network, a camera or instrument subnet, the link to the next cell and a service connection separate — work that normally needs a box PC and a managed switch inside the cabinet.

What are five LAN ports used for in practice?

Five separate segments. Port 1 to the machine or PLC network, port 2 to the plant and MES side, port 3 to a vision camera or instrument subnet, port 4 to the neighbouring cell or line controller, and port 5 for commissioning, remote support or a redundant path. Each keeps its own address range and firewall rules. The panel replaces the switch rather than adding to it, which matters when the cabinet is already full.

Does it have a fan, and how does the thermal design work?

It runs passively fanless under normal conditions — that is the default state, and it is why there is no filter to clean. When processor load or cabinet temperature approaches the thermal threshold, the intelligent thermal control system starts fan assist automatically, and the fan is hot-swappable: it can be replaced in the field without opening the enclosure or returning the panel to the factory.

Why a 15-inch 4:3 panel rather than a widescreen?

Because the cutout already exists and the format suits the application. 1280 × 1024 at 4:3 is the long-standing 15-inch industrial standard, so the panel drops into an existing opening — 342.4 × 269.4 mm cutout, 359.9 × 283.9 × 75.1 mm overall. The squarer screen also gives more vertical space to alarm lists, trend pages and recipe grids than a 16:9 panel of the same diagonal.

What I/O does it carry besides the network ports?

3× RS232 on DB9 for instruments, scales and legacy controllers, 2× USB 2.0 and 4× USB 3.0 for scanners, keyboards, cameras and dongles, one HDMI output and audio. A Mini PCIe socket is left free for 4G, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth or a fieldbus card, and the panel supports the 12th Gen Core platform with DDR5 memory and a 1× mSATA SSD.

What power, temperature and mounting does the panel need?

12V DC on a 3-pin pluggable terminal block, with 9–36V DC optional and startup selectable between AT and ATX. Operating temperature is 0–50 ℃ as standard with −40–70 ℃ available; storage is −10–60 ℃ and humidity 10%–90% non-condensing. It mounts in the panel cutout, on a wall bracket or on a VESA plate, at 7 kg with the display.

What certifications and customisation does the five-port panel carry?

CE, FCC and BIS according to EN 55032 and EN 55035, with ODM support for custom BIOS, boot-on-LOGO and OEM branding. Because it is a BlockCore™ platform, the same panel can be configured with a different CPU tier, a different serial or network combination, 4G or Wi-Fi, and the coating or touch type the application needs.

Where is a five-port panel the right answer?

On lines that have outgrown a single network: vision-assisted inspection stations where the cameras need their own subnet, production cells with a cell controller and a link to the next cell, energy and utility cabinets with a separate meter network, and retrofit projects where the cabinet cannot take another switch but the panel opening already exists.
