The built-in smart lithium battery keeps the box running for over an hour without external power. When it does reach its limit, the intent is that the application has already closed its files: an hour is far longer than any normal controlled shutdown needs, so installations typically use the runtime either to ride out a short outage or to shut the machine down in an orderly way. The battery is managed internally and recharges from the normal 12V supply.

Two problems, both expensive. The first is a corrupt write: if the power disappears while a database or a log file is being written, the station can come back with an unbootable system volume. The second is process visibility: on a line where the operator needs the screen for a few more minutes, losing the HMI immediately after the power does makes a recoverable stop into a confused one. The battery addresses both without adding a separate UPS to mount and wire.

It is a battery module inside the chassis rather than a separate UPS box, which is the practical difference: no second enclosure, no separate mains feed, no battery to mount beside the panel. Power still comes in through the standard 12V DC 2-pin aviation connector with 9–36V DC optional, and the battery takes over when that input goes away.

Three builds on the Intel® Core™ 7th Gen platform: i3-7100U at 2.4 GHz, i5-7200U and i7-7500U. Memory is a single DDR4 2133 MHz SO-DIMM socket up to 16GB. The standard build with the published part number is the i3-7100U with 4GB and a 128GB SSD — C8.02.01.010; the other two builds have their part numbers issued per configuration.

Because the system and the data want different things. The full-size mSATA SSD is compact and fast enough for the operating system and the application; the 2.5-inch SATA bay takes a larger, cheaper drive for records, images or an archive, and it is the device a technician can swap in the field without touching the system volume. Keeping them separate also means a logging workload cannot wear the boot device.

Windows 7, Windows 10, Windows 11 and Linux. Windows 7 support is a deliberate part of this model: it is the generation of hardware that lets a qualified Windows 7 machine controller be replaced without re-validating the application, which is usually the reason the 7th Gen platform is chosen in the first place.

2× RS232 on DB9 (two of them switchable to RS485), 4× USB 3.0 and 2× USB 2.0 Type-A ports, and dual display output — HDMI up to 3840 × 2160 @24Hz and VGA up to 1920 × 1080 @60Hz. Line-out audio is provided, and networking is 2× Intel i211 Gigabit LAN with Wi-Fi 802.11a/g/n (2×2 antenna, 2.4/5 GHz) and optional 4G.

It makes it the deepest of the 195 mm models: 195 × 160 × 65.3 mm and 1.95 kg net, or 229 × 160 × 68.5 mm with the mounting bracket. The extra depth over the 42.8 mm models in the same footprint is the battery pack. It is still a wall-bracket or VESA-mount unit.

The chassis is fanless — nothing to filter and nothing to seize. Operating temperature is 0–50 ℃ with an extended temperature option, and storage is −10–60 ℃ with the extended option as well. Certification is CE / RoHS. Custom services include custom BIOS, system encryption and custom LOGO.
