Who the EPC-W2462A configuration is for
The EPC-W2462A is the entry configuration of CESIPC’s 23.6-inch (24-inch class) fanless industrial panel PC. It pairs an Intel Celeron J1900 quad-core processor (2.0–2.4 GHz, 10 W TDP) with 4 GB DDR3L memory, expandable to 8 GB, and a 128 GB mSATA SSD — inside the same IP65 chassis and 562.7 × 338.4 mm panel cutout as every other configuration in the series.
Specify it when the panel is a dedicated display and control surface rather than a computer: machine control consoles, SCADA operator stations, packaging and filling line interfaces, building automation panels. These run one HMI application continuously, on a fixed runtime or in a browser, and the J1900 has enough headroom for that duty at the lowest unit cost in the series.
It is also the configuration to choose when a panel has to host several low-bandwidth USB devices. The EPC-W2462A is the only configuration with five USB 2.0 ports — the J6412, 10th Gen and 12th Gen boards carry four, two and two respectively. That covers a barcode scanner, a keyboard, a USB-to-serial adapter and two measuring instruments connected at the same time.
The J1900 platform is also the only one CESIPC lists Windows 7 support for, which matters when the HMI software was never certified on a newer operating system. Windows 10 and Windows 11 are supported as well, along with Ubuntu 16.04 to 22.04.
Choose a different configuration if the panel will run vision inspection, several SCADA clients at once, in-panel SQL logging or local video analytics — those need the DDR4 or DDR5 boards. Step up to the EPC-W2492A (10th Gen Core i3/i5/i7) or the EPC-W2422A (12th Gen Core). The touchscreen, enclosure and mounting cutout do not change, so the compute board can be decided after the mechanical design is frozen.
Choose the right W24X2A configuration
All four configurations share the same 23.6-inch 1920 × 1080 IP65 panel, the same 589.3 × 361.2 × 75.1 mm chassis and the same 562.7 × 338.4 mm cutout. Only the compute board, memory, storage, USB mix and integrated graphics change.

FAQ
Answers for the EPC-W2462A build. Platform-wide questions — panel size, IP65 protection, SafeCore™ power-loss protection, power input and the upgrade path — are answered on the EPC-W24X2A overview page.
What CPU, memory and storage does the EPC-W2462A ship with?
The EPC-W2462A ships with an Intel Celeron J1900 quad-core processor at 2.0–2.4 GHz with 2 MB cache and a 10 W TDP, 4 GB DDR3L memory expandable to 8 GB, and a 128 GB mSATA SSD. Integrated Intel HD graphics drive the 1920 × 1080 panel. Request a different memory or SSD size when ordering and CESIPC builds it at the factory.
How is the EPC-W2462A different from the EPC-W2472A?
Both use the identical 23.6-inch panel, IP65 front, enclosure and 562.7 × 338.4 mm cutout. The EPC-W2462A runs a Celeron J1900 with DDR3L memory, a 128 GB SSD and five USB 2.0 ports; the EPC-W2472A runs a Celeron J6412 with DDR4 memory, a 128 GB SSD and four USB 2.0 plus two USB 3.0 ports. The J1900 is also the only board CESIPC lists Windows 7 support for.
Can a deployed EPC-W2462A be upgraded to a faster configuration later?
Yes. The W24X2A series uses CESIPC’s BlockCore board-to-board architecture, so the compute board and memory module can be replaced with the J6412, 10th Gen Core or 12th Gen Core boards while the 23.6-inch touchscreen, IP65 enclosure and 562.7 × 338.4 mm cutout stay exactly as installed. A field upgrade therefore reuses the panel, the wiring and the mounting hardware.
Is the Celeron J1900 configuration still the right choice for a new project?
For a fixed-function HMI or display terminal, yes: 10 W TDP, fanless operation, six serial ports and five USB 2.0 ports cover that duty at the lowest cost in the series. For a new project that will later add vision inspection, in-panel databases or several SCADA clients, start on the DDR4 or DDR5 boards (EPC-W2492A, EPC-W2422A) — retrofitting later is possible but costs more than specifying it up front.
