EPC-102B Four-LAN Modular Industrial Box PC with Intelligent Thermal Control

CNC machine control, factory automation, edge computing, energy management systems, multi-network routing and intelligent transportation. The common thread is the four independent Intel I210 Gigabit LAN ports: any installation that has to reach several isolated networks at once — an industrial IoT gateway, a machine-vision controller, a cell that separates camera traffic from production traffic — is where this model belongs.

So the networks do not have to be merged. With four Intel® I210 ports the box connects simultaneously to a production network, a management network, a camera or vision network and an internet uplink, each with its own address range and its own firewall rules, and without adding network switches inside the cabinet. That isolation is a hard requirement in industrial edge gateways, machine-vision controllers and factory automation systems that keep control traffic away from everything else.

They are two stages of one thermal design. Under normal operating conditions the {model} is passively fanless — no noise, no dust drawn across the boards, longer component life. When the system detects high processor load or an ambient temperature approaching the thermal threshold, the intelligent thermal control system activates fan assist automatically. The fan is hot-swappable, so it can be replaced in the field. The result is the reliability of a fanless box with the headroom to survive peak workloads.

Yes — that is the point of the BlockCore® modular architecture. Serial (RS232, RS422, RS485), digital I/O, CAN bus and other interfaces are added as function cards without modifying the base chassis. The same unit can therefore be configured for CNC, automation or process control duty, and a card can be added or swapped during commissioning rather than ordering a different model.

A 1× 3-pin pluggable terminal block accepting 9–36V DC wide range, so the box runs from a standard 12V or 24V industrial DC rail without a separate converter. Boot mode is selectable between AT (auto power-on) and ATX (soft power); on unattended systems AT is normally chosen so the box comes back by itself after an interruption.

Three on the Intel® Core™ 12th Gen platform: i3-1215U at 1.2–4.4 GHz with 8GB, i5-1235U with 16GB — part number C10.01.04.006 — and i7-1255U with 32GB and a 512GB SSD, part number C10.01.04.008. The chassis, the four LAN ports, the thermal design and the BlockCore® card slots are identical across all three; memory runs to 32GB DDR5 on the 12th Gen builds.

The standard configuration operates from 0 ℃ to 50 ℃, with an extended option to −40 ℃ to 70 ℃ covering outdoor enclosures, cold stores and high-temperature industrial areas. Storage is −10–60 ℃ and humidity 10%–90% non-condensing. Because the everyday cooling path is passive, the extended range applies without changing the enclosure or adding a filter.

337 × 160 × 47.5 mm and 2 kg, milled from high-strength aluminium alloy. It mounts on a wall bracket or a VESA plate, and the 47.5 mm depth keeps it inside standard cabinet and machine-frame clearances. Video output is a single HDMI, audio is provided, and the four USB 3.0 ports sit on the chassis for keyboards, service storage and peripherals.

Wired networking is 4× Intel I210 Gigabit LAN; wireless options are 4G full network compatibility and Wi-Fi / Bluetooth, with a Mini PCIe socket available for a module. Certifications are CE, FCC and BIS according to EN 55032 and EN 55035, and the ODM / OEM service covers BIOS customization, boot-on-LOGO and OEM branding from the factory.
