Eight inputs and eight outputs, on the panel itself. The EPC-W2122B is a 21.5-inch Full HD panel PC that reads and switches field signals itself — 8-in / 8-out digital I/O, MODBUS compatible, with 24V, 12V or 5V levels configurable per project — so a machine with a handful of sensors and valves does not need a separate PLC beside it. Behind the IP65 front: 12th Gen Core i3/i5/i7, DDR5 up to 32GB and two M.2 SSDs.

Design notes

Why the GPIO block is inside the panel

EPC-W2122B panel PC — Eight inputs and eight outputs switched by the panel itself

Eight inputs and eight outputs switched by the panel itself

The GPIO block is the reason to choose this model. The EPC-W2122B carries 8 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs on the panel, MODBUS compatible, with the signal level configurable as 24V, 12V or 5V to match the machine it is going into. That is enough to read end-of-travel switches, a guard door, a float or a counter and to drive lamps, relays, solenoids or a stack light — without a PLC in the cabinet and without a second cable run to one. For a machine builder that is a shorter bill of materials and one less device to program.

  • 8-in / 8-out digital I/O built into the panel
  • MODBUS compatible — read and write from the HMI
  • 24V / 12V / 5V signal levels configurable per project
  • No separate PLC for a handful of sensors and valves
  • Shorter bill of materials and less wiring in the cabinet

LEGO MODE: board-to-board, so the panel follows the machine

The EPC-W2122B is built on the LEGO MODE board-to-board design, with customizable function cards and i-Door access, which is what makes the same panel adaptable rather than fixed. Function cards are chosen for the interfaces a machine actually uses; a different card set answers a different machine on the same chassis, cutout and display. The boards connect directly instead of through ribbon cables, which is what keeps the assembly stable in a cabinet that vibrates.

  • LEGO MODE board-to-board architecture
  • Customizable function cards for the interfaces your machine uses
  • i-Door access for service on the boards
  • Same chassis, cutout and display across configurations
  • Direct board-to-board connection — no ribbon cables to work loose

FAQ

EPC-W2122B frequently asked questions

Questions about the 8-in / 8-out GPIO block and its signal levels, the LEGO MODE board-to-board design and function cards, the 21.5-inch Full HD panel and its cutout, and the 12th Gen builds with DDR5.

What is the EPC-W2122B?

It is a 21.5-inch Full HD industrial panel PC with 8-in / 8-out digital I/O built into the panel, MODBUS compatible and configurable for 24V, 12V or 5V signal levels. It runs the Intel® Core™ 12th Gen platform with DDR5 memory and two M.2 SSDs, and it mounts in a 516.6 × 308.1 mm cutout behind an IP65 front.

What can the 8-in / 8-out GPIO block actually do?

Eight digital inputs read the state of field devices — end-of-travel switches, a guard door, a float, a counter, a pushbutton — and eight digital outputs drive lamps, relays, solenoids, contactors or a stack light. Because the channels are MODBUS compatible, the HMI or the machine software reads and writes them the same way it talks to any other MODBUS device. For a machine that needs a handful of signals, that removes the separate PLC and the extra wiring run to it.

What signal levels and protocol does the GPIO use?

The channels are configurable for 24V, 12V or 5V so they can match the machine they are wired into, and they are MODBUS compatible, which means the inputs and outputs can be published to the HMI, to a SCADA system or to another controller on the same network. Tell us the levels and the channel count you need and the panel is configured at the factory.

What is LEGO MODE, and what are function cards?

LEGO MODE is the board-to-board architecture this panel is built on: the main board and the interface boards connect directly, and the interfaces the machine needs are supplied as customizable function cards. A different card set answers a different machine on the same chassis, cutout and display, and i-Door gives service access to the boards without dismantling the panel.

What I/O ports does the panel carry?

4× USB 3.0 and 2× USB 2.0 (Type-A), 3× RS232 and 2× RS485 on DB9, 1× HDMI + 1× VGA dual display, one 3.5 mm TRRS audio jack and 2× Intel I210 Gigabit LAN. Wi-Fi is an Intel N6235 module at 300 Mbps (802.11a/b/g/n, 2.4G / 5G) and a 4G LTE full netcom module is available, with a Clear CMOS switch on the panel.

Which 12th Gen processors and how much memory?

Three builds: i3-1215U (6 cores, 1.2~4.4 GHz, 10MB cache, 15W), i5-1235U (10 cores, 1.3~4.4 GHz, 12MB, 15W) and i7-1250U (10 cores, 1.1~4.7 GHz, 12MB, 9W). All three use DDR5 memory up to 32GB and two M.2 SSDs, so the system and the data log can live on separate drives.

What does the panel measure, and what are its mechanical details?

A 21.5-inch TFT LCD at 1920 × 1080 (16:9), 300 cd/m² at 500:1 with an LED backlight rated for 50,000 hours, and projected-capacitive multi-touch (resistive 5-wire available on request). The chassis is 534.6 × 326.1 × 75.1 mm with a cutout of 516.6 × 308.1 mm, weighs 6.66 kg N.W., and is built from 6063 high-strength aluminium alloy extrusion with a sheet-metal structure. It mounts on a wall bracket or a VESA plate, and cooling is completely fanless.

What power, temperature and EMC does it hold?

12V DC on a 3-pin pluggable terminal block, with 9~36V DC available as an option, an ATX power on/off button and an internal AT/ATX mode switch. Operating temperature is 0~50℃ as standard with −40~70℃ available; storage is −10~60℃ and relative humidity 10%~90% non-condensing. EMC is CE and FCC to EN 55032 and EN 55035 plus EN IEC 61000-3-2, the factory is ISO 9001:2015 and MTBF is 60,000 hours.

Which operating systems run on it, and can it be customised?

Windows 10 and Windows 11, or Linux Ubuntu 16.04 / 18.04 / 20.04 / 22.04. ODM services cover a custom BIOS, booting on your own LOGO and OEM branding, on the same hardware and enclosure.

Where is a GPIO panel PC the right choice?

On machines where the signals are modest but the wiring is not: packaging and assembly stations with a few sensors and actuators, fixture and test benches that drive lamps or a stack light, access-control and guard-door points, process skids and material-handling equipment. Where the sequence is more complex, the same panel still works as the HMI and the GPIO block handles the local signals while a controller runs the logic.

Other models in the ODM range

The EPC-W2122B is the GPIO member of the range — the one to pick when the panel itself has to read switches and drive outputs instead of handing that job to a PLC. If you need more serial channels, four Intel LAN ports, a coated board, a battery inside the panel or an extended-temperature build, a sibling model in the same range carries it.
