CESIPC EPC-W17D2A is a 17.3-inch fanless industrial panel PC built on the Phytium FT-D2000 8-core ARM64 processor, designed for China’s Xinchuang compliance requirements. It features dual redundant 9–36V DC power inputs with automatic failover under 20 ms, IP65 front-panel protection, and full Kylin OS V10 support. When one power supply fails, the second takes over instantly — no reboot, no interruption. Deployed in electric power, rail transit, and government infrastructure, the EPC-W17D2A eliminates the single point of power failure that standard industrial PCs cannot address.
Industrial panel PCs are the control terminals and HMI displays for some of the most demanding operating environments: power substations where equipment must not restart during a grid event, rail signalling rooms where software continuity is a safety requirement, and government networks where domestic processor certification is legally mandated. The EPC-W17D2A is engineered specifically for these scenarios.

FAQ
What is the EPC-W17D2A industrial panel PC?
The CESIPC EPC-W17D2A is a 17.3-inch fanless industrial panel PC powered by the Phytium FT-D2000 8-core ARM64 processor. It features dual redundant 9–35V DC power inputs with automatic failover, IP65 front-panel protection, and full Kylin OS V10 support. It is designed for China’s Xinchuang critical infrastructure compliance requirements in electric power, rail transit, and government sectors. Also compatible with Intel i3/i5/i7 Processor.
What does dual redundant power supply mean in an industrial PC?
Dual redundant power supply means the industrial PC has two completely independent power input channels that both operate simultaneously. If one supply fails, the other takes over automatically in under 20 milliseconds — with no system reboot or OS interruption. Each channel has its own fault alarm output (indicator light + dry-contact relay), and the power modules support hot-swap replacement so a failed unit can be replaced during normal operations without any downtime.
What is Xinchuang compliance and why does it matter for industrial PCs?
Xinchuang, short for China’s IT Application Innovation initiative, requires critical infrastructure operators to use domestically developed processors and operating systems. For industrial PCs, this means replacing Intel/AMD CPUs with domestic alternatives like Phytium FT-D2000, and replacing Windows with Kylin OS or UOS. The EPC-W17D2A meets this requirement: it uses a Phytium CPU and Kylin OS V10, and has passed compatibility certification for electric power and rail transit sector deployments.
What is the input voltage range for the EPC-W17D2A?
Each of the two independent power input channels on the EPC-W17D2A accepts 9–35V DC. This wide range covers both 12V and 24V industrial power standards, making it compatible with most industrial power supplies and UPS units. The two channels connect to separate sources to ensure true hardware-level redundancy.
What processor does the EPC-W17D2A use?
The EPC-W17D2A uses the Phytium FT-D2000 — an 8-core ARM64 processor running at 2.3 GHz, developed by Tianjin Phytium Information Technology. The FT-D2000 is a certified Xinchuang domestic processor widely used in Chinese critical infrastructure as an alternative to Intel or AMD platforms.
What operating systems does the EPC-W17D2A support?
The EPC-W17D2A comes standard with Kylin OS V10 (银河麒麟), the primary Xinchuang-compliant desktop OS for industrial and government deployments in China. Ubuntu Linux is available as an alternative configuration.
What is CESIPC LEGO MODE technology?
CESIPC LEGO MODE is a modular hardware architecture that lets customers add or swap i-Function expansion boards — like adding building blocks — to extend the industrial PC’s capabilities. On the EPC-W17D2A, this supports adding 5G wireless, multi-port LAN (up to 5 ports), CAN bus, or digital I/O modules without changing the chassis design. This reduces customization lead times and eliminates the high non-recurring engineering costs typical of small-batch hardware development.
