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.
Technical FAQ for EPC-W15X2A — 15.6″ Industrial Panel PC
Common questions about the 15.6-inch model and the BlockCore™ platform.
Why choose a 15.6-inch Industrial Panel PC for HMI and SCADA?+
The 15.6-inch Industrial Panel PC provides an ideal balance between screen real estate and compact footprint. Its Full HD 1920×1080 widescreen format delivers sharp visualization for modern HMI dashboards, machine monitoring, and SCADA interfaces while fitting into standard control cabinets where larger 18.5-inch or 19-inch panel PCs would waste space. For tighter spaces, see our 13.3-inch industrial panel PC series.
What makes the EPC-W15X2A suitable for industrial automation?+
The EPC-W15X2A features a fanless aluminum enclosure, front-panel IP65 waterproof protection, dual Intel® I210 Gigabit LAN, 6×COM ports (4×RS232 + 2×RS485), multiple USB ports (2×USB 2.0 + 4×USB 3.0), and 9–36V wide voltage input with SafeCore™ power-loss protection. These industrial-grade features ensure reliable 24/7 operation in factory automation, smart manufacturing, food processing, and edge computing applications.
What processors are available for the EPC-W15X2A?+
The system supports scalable performance options ranging from Intel® Celeron J1900 and J6412 for low-power control tasks, up to 10th Gen and 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i3/i5/i7 processors for demanding industrial workloads such as machine vision, industrial AI gateways, and high-speed data acquisition. All share the same enclosure, I/O layout, and mounting dimensions — thanks to BlockCore™ modular design.
How does BlockCore™ improve lifecycle flexibility and upgrades?+
CESIPC’s proprietary BlockCore™ modular architecture separates the compute core from the display system. This allows CPU upgrades without changing the panel structure or mounting dimensions. Upgrading from a Celeron J1900 to a 12th Gen Core i7 requires only swapping the compute board — the enclosure, touchscreen, I/O expansion, and mounting remain identical. The same platform architecture is shared across our 18.5-inch and 21.5-inch industrial panel PC series, simplifying standardization across production lines.
Does EPC-W15X2A support wireless communication (4G/Wi-Fi)?+
Yes. The system supports optional 4G LTE full-network connectivity and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth via M.2 2230 expansion slots. This makes it ideal for remote monitoring, smart logistics terminals, outdoor automation stations, and IIoT edge deployments where wired Ethernet is unavailable. The dual M.2 2280 NVMe slots also allow high-speed storage expansion.
What protection does SafeCore™ provide, and why does it matter?+
SafeCore™ is CESIPC’s power-loss protection technology. It guards the operating system against file corruption during sudden power failure. Combined with auto power-on recovery (when power returns), it ensures continuous uptime for mission-critical automation systems — such as pharmaceutical cleanrooms or chemical batch control — where unexpected downtime can cause product loss or safety risks.
What is the IP65 rating, and is this model suitable for washdown environments?+
The front panel is IP65-rated — fully dust-tight and protected against low-pressure water jets. This makes the EPC-W15X2A suitable for factory floors, machine tools, and food packaging areas that are cleaned with gentle hose-downs. For high-pressure, high-temperature washdown environments (e.g., meat processing or dairy), you would need an IP69K-rated stainless steel panel PC like our WPC/IP69K series.
What mounting options and operating temperatures are available?+
The EPC-W15X2A supports wall-mount and VESA mount (75×75 / 100×100). Standard operating temperature is 0~50°C, with an optional wide-temperature range of -40~70°C for cold storage or outdoor applications. Cutout dimensions: 388.0×237.3mm; overall dimensions: 404.2(W)×253.5(H)×75.1(D)mm; weight: 6.1kg.
Can CESIPC provide OEM/ODM customization (BIOS, logo, I/O)?+
Yes. CESIPC offers full OEM/ODM services including: BIOS configuration and boot logo branding, I/O panel customization (e.g., additional COM ports or isolation), private label packaging, and even anti-corrosion surface treatment for aluminum panels. Minimum order quantities and lead times vary by scope. Contact our engineering team for a detailed ODM assessment.
How does the EPC-W15X2A compare with the 13.3-inch or 18.5-inch models?+
All three share the same BlockCore™ compute platform, I/O, and processor options. The differences are purely physical: 15.6-inch offers the most popular balance of viewable area and cabinet fit. 13.3-inch is more compact (345.2×215.6mm, 4.1kg) for space-constrained installations. 18.5-inch provides the largest viewable area (471.6×291.9mm, 8.1kg) for central monitoring stations. Choose based on your viewing distance, panel cutout size, and operator preference.
