Two power inputs, one panel. The EPC-W17D2A takes DC_IN_1 and DC_IN_2, each 9~36V DC, and moves between them automatically in under 20 ms — the operating system does not see it, the operator does nothing. It is built for substations, rail signalling rooms and government networks where a single power supply is a single point of failure, on the Phytium FT-D2000 8-core ARM64 processor with Kylin OS V10 behind a 17.3-inch 1920 × 1080 IP65 front.

Design notes
Why there are two power inputs

Two independent DC inputs, and a failover nobody notices
A standard industrial panel PC has one power input, which makes the power supply a single point of failure: when it goes, the HMI goes, and on a substation or a rail signalling desk that is not an acceptable outcome. The EPC-W17D2A takes two independent wide-range inputs — DC_IN_1 and DC_IN_2, each 9~36V DC — and switches between them automatically in under 20 ms, transparently to the operating system. The application does not restart and the operator does not have to do anything.
- DC_IN_1 + DC_IN_2, each 9~36V DC wide range
- Automatic failover under 20 ms — no reboot, no operator action
- Failover is OS-transparent: the session survives it
- Per-channel ERROR indicator plus a dry-contact alarm output
- Hot-swappable power modules — replaced in the field without a shutdown
A domestic ARM64 processor for Xinchuang deployments
The EPC-W17D2A runs the Phytium FT-D2000, an 8-core ARM64 processor at 2.3 GHz built for China’s Xinchuang (domestic IT innovation) requirements, with Kylin OS V10 as the standard operating system and Ubuntu Linux available. On government and utility networks that is often the decisive point: the panel has to satisfy a domestic-processor mandate before it can be connected at all, and the rest of the specification is judged afterwards.
- Phytium FT-D2000 — 8-core ARM64, 2.3 GHz
- Built for Xinchuang (domestic processor) compliance
- Kylin OS V10 standard; Ubuntu Linux available
- 8~32GB DDR4, M.2 NVMe storage with an optional mSATA drive
- Same BlockCore™ chassis and cutout across the configurations


17.3-inch Full HD behind an IP65 front, with serviceable cooling
The display is a 17.3-inch TFT LCD at 1920 × 1080 (16:9), 350 cd/m² at 450:1 with a 50,000-hour LED backlight and 10-point projected-capacitive touch behind a 6H surface. The chassis measures 437.0 × 270.0 × 75.1 mm, needs a cutout of 420 × 253 mm and weighs 7 kg. Thermal management uses a hot-swappable fan with intelligent control, so the one moving part can be changed in the field instead of taking the panel out of service.

FAQ
EPC-W17D2A frequently asked questions
Questions about the dual redundant power inputs and how the failover behaves, the Phytium FT-D2000 platform and Xinchuang compliance, Kylin OS support, the I/O and i-Function expansion, and the mechanical and environmental ratings.
What is the EPC-W17D2A, and who is it for?
It is a 17.3-inch Full HD industrial panel PC with two independent DC power inputs and automatic failover, running the Phytium FT-D2000 8-core ARM64 processor with Kylin OS V10. It exists for installations where the power supply must not be a single point of failure and where a domestic processor is required: electric power substations and grid control, rail transit and signalling rooms, and government or utility networks with Xinchuang requirements.
How does the dual redundant power actually work?
The panel has two wide-range inputs, DC_IN_1 and DC_IN_2, each accepting 9~36V DC. Both are monitored, and the panel runs from one of them; if that input drops — supply failure, a blown fuse upstream, a loose terminal — it switches to the other automatically in under 20 ms. The two inputs are independent, so a fault on one side cannot take the other down with it.
What does the software see during a failover?
Nothing. The switchover is OS-transparent: the operating system, the HMI session and any open SCADA connection stay up, and there is no reboot and no operator action. That is the whole point of doing the redundancy in the panel rather than adding an external UPS — a UPS eventually runs out, while a second supply line does not.
What happens if a power module fails in the field?
Each channel has its own ERROR indicator and a dry-contact alarm output, so the fault is visible on the panel and can be wired into the site’s alarm system. The power modules are hot-swappable: a technician replaces the failed module without shutting the panel down, and the machine keeps running on the other input while that is done.
Why the Phytium FT-D2000 instead of an Intel processor?
Because on a growing number of government, utility and state-owned networks in China, a domestic processor is a condition of being connected at all — the Xinchuang requirement. The FT-D2000 is an 8-core ARM64 processor at 2.3 GHz and satisfies that mandate, while still running the HMI, the SCADA client and a local data log on a 17.3-inch Full HD screen. Where no such mandate applies, an Intel-based model in the same family does the same job.
What operating systems and software are supported?
Kylin OS V10 is the standard operating system, fully optimised for the FT-D2000 and the usual choice for Xinchuang-compliant deployments; Ubuntu Linux is available as an alternative. Tell us which one the site standardises on and the panel is installed and tested with it before it ships, including the HMI or SCADA client you intend to run.
What I/O and expansion does the panel offer?
2× USB 3.0 and 2× USB 2.0 (Type-A), 4× RS232 on DB9, two Intel I210 Gigabit LAN ports, one audio output and a GND terminal — plus the BlockCore™ i-Function slot, which accepts function modules for 5G, extra LAN ports, CAN or digital I/O. A Mini PCIe socket is available for Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, and a 4G module is an option.
What are the mechanical and environmental specifications?
The chassis is 437.0 (W) × 270.0 (H) × 75.1 (D) mm with a cutout of 420 × 253 mm, a display active area of 381.7 × 214.6 mm, a weight of 7 kg and VESA 100 × 100 mounting. A 17.3-inch 1920 × 1080 panel sits behind an IP65 front with 10-point projected-capacitive touch at 350 cd/m² and 450:1. Operating temperature is 0~50℃ with −40~70℃ available, storage is −10~60℃ at 10%~90% humidity, and cooling uses a hot-swappable fan with intelligent thermal control.
Where is a redundant-power panel PC the right choice?
Where an HMI that stops causes a real consequence: substation and grid-control rooms where equipment must not restart during a grid event, rail transit and signalling installations where software continuity is a safety matter, water, gas and district-energy SCADA with remote and unattended sites, and government or state-owned networks that require a domestic processor. In all of them the same logic applies: the second power input costs far less than the outage.
Can CESIPC customise the panel for our project?
Yes — this is an ODM platform. BlockCore™ covers BIOS configuration, booting on your own LOGO and OEM branding, and the i-Function slot takes the interface modules your project needs (5G, multi-LAN, CAN, DIO). Custom I/O arrangements and enclosure branding are quoted per project; the panel, the cutout and the redundant power design stay the same.

Other models in the ODM range
The EPC-W17D2A is the redundant-power member of the range — the one to pick where the power supply must not be a single point of failure, or where a domestic processor is required. If you need a camera in the bezel, six serial ports, 8-in/8-out GPIO or a conformal-coated board, one of its siblings in the same family carries it.
