Standard Industrial Panel PC ModelsBlockCore™ EPC-X2A series — ten standard sizes, ready to order with a datasheet

The LEGO series supports both wired and wireless communication via its expansion slots: M.2 2230 slot supports Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth modules; Mini PCIe socket supports 4G LTE full-network connectivity; M.2 2280 NVMe slots support high-speed storage expansion (dual drives). The i-Connect Board adds support for WAN, Gigabit Ethernet, USB dongles, RS-232/422/485, and digital I/O — all plug-and-play. This makes LEGO Panel PCs ideal for remote monitoring, smart logistics terminals, outdoor automation stations, and IIoT edge deployments where wired Ethernet is unavailable.

Yes. CESIPC offers comprehensive OEM/ODM customization for the LEGO series, including: I/O configuration — additional COM ports (RS232/422/485), digital I/O, CAN bus, or USB ports via i-Connect and i-Function expansion boards; Private labeling and branding — custom logo, packaging, and documentation; BIOS customization — boot logo, default settings, whitelist directories for SafeCore; Anti-corrosion surface treatment — for chemical resistance in food and pharmaceutical environments. Contact CESIPC’s engineering team for a detailed ODM assessment.

SafeCore is CESIPC’s industrial reliability platform integrated into the BlockCore architecture. It provides system-level write protection that blocks all unauthorized changes to the system — even after power failure, user error, or malware attack, system files automatically restore after reboot. Key benefits include: One-touch recovery mechanism — system crash or file corruption? Just reboot, the system returns to a healthy working state without technical skills; Zero IT support required — anyone on the production floor can recover the system with a simple restart; Power-failure protection — no data loss from unexpected power outages; Anti-tampering protection — automatically mitigates risks from viruses, user errors, failed upgrades, and other scenarios. This is critical for unattended 24/7 automation deployments where unexpected downtime can cause production loss or safety risks.

The LEGO Industrial Panel PC series offers display sizes ranging from 7 inches up to 24 inches. Touch options include 10-point projected capacitive touch (P-CAP) for multi-touch gestures and responsive gloved operation, as well as resistive touch for applications requiring lower cost or compatibility with heavy gloves and stylus input. All models feature IP65 front panel protection (dust-tight and protected against low-pressure water jets) with 6H hardness, ensuring durability in washdown environments, food processing lines, pharmaceutical cleanrooms, and general factory floors.

LEGO Industrial Panel PCs are designed for applications where I/O flexibility, future-proof CPU upgrades, and deployment standardization matter. Typical use cases include: HMI terminals — factory floor operator interface stations requiring periodic compute upgrades; SCADA control stations — centralized monitoring with mixed I/O requirements across different stations; Leak testing equipment — requiring multiple RS-232/485 ports for sensors, CAN bus for equipment communication, and dual LAN for MES isolation; Automotive production lines — same physical workstation hardware with variant-specific compute and I/O configurations; Pharmaceutical cleanrooms — IP65-rated front panel for washdown environments; Edge computing gateways — M.2 expansion for 4G/5G/Wi-Fi6 and AI accelerators; Food and beverage packaging lines — frequent cleaning environments with customizable I/O for label scanners, vision cameras, and PLC integration.

A LEGO modular panel PC offers three distinct advantages over fixed-configuration models: (1) Future-proof CPU upgrades — upgrading from a Celeron J1900 to a 12th Gen Core i7 requires only swapping the i-Core compute board; the enclosure, display, touchscreen, I/O connectors, and panel cutout remain unchanged. (2) I/O flexibility — I/O can be mixed, swapped, or expanded per project with plug-and-play expansion modules (additional COM ports, CAN bus, digital I/O, 4G/Wi-Fi) without chassis re-design. (3) Platform standardization — the same BlockCore compute ecosystem works across multiple product families (S-series, W-series, RFID series), enabling standardized compute spares across mixed deployments. For equipment OEMs with multiple product variants, this dramatically reduces BOM complexity and lifecycle management cost.

CESIPC’s BlockCore technology (LEGO MODE) is a modular hardware architecture based on the design concept of LEGO bricks. It decouples the core motherboard from functional modules, allowing customers to freely configure them like building blocks to meet personalized industrial requirements. The architecture consists of three key components: i-Core Board (compute board, covering Celeron J1900/J6412 to 12th Gen Core i7, plus ARM platforms like RK3568/RK3588 and AI accelerators like Jetson), i-Function Board (functional expansion module supporting PCIe, USB, COM, and Modbus), and i-Connect Board (modular I/O expansion unit supporting RS-232/422/485, digital I/O, USB, LAN, etc.).
