The EPC-102B is an embedded industrial PC designed for 24/7 operation in demanding automation environments. It supports Intel® processors from Celeron J1900/J6412 up to 12th Gen Core i7-1255U, paired with up to 32GB DDR5 memory and four Intel® I210 Gigabit LAN ports — making it well suited for multi-network edge deployments, CNC control, and energy management systems.
Built on CESIPC’s BlockCore™ modular architecture, the EPC-102B features an intelligent thermal management system that activates fan-assisted cooling under heavy load, while maintaining fanless passive cooling during normal operation. It runs on 9–36V DC with AT/ATX boot modes and supports an optional -40°C to 70°C operating range for harsh environment deployments.

Q: What is the EPC-102B used for?
A: The EPC-102B is an industrial PC used for CNC machine control, factory automation, edge computing, energy management systems, multi-network routing applications, and intelligent transportation systems. Its four independent Gigabit LAN ports make it especially suited for applications requiring simultaneous connections to multiple networks or isolated network segments, such as industrial IoT gateways and machine vision systems.
Q: Why does the EPC-102B have 4 Gigabit LAN ports?
A: The four Intel® I210 Gigabit LAN ports allow the EPC-102B to connect simultaneously to multiple isolated networks — for example, a production network, a management network, a camera network, and an internet uplink — without additional network switches. This is a critical requirement for industrial edge gateways, machine vision controllers, and network-isolated factory automation systems.
Q: What is the difference between the fanless and fan-assisted cooling modes?
A: The EPC-102B uses passive fanless cooling under normal operating conditions, which eliminates noise, reduces dust ingress, and extends component lifespan. When the system detects high CPU load or ambient temperatures approaching the thermal threshold, the intelligent thermal control system automatically activates fan-assisted cooling. This hybrid approach provides the reliability of fanless design while handling peak workloads safely.
Q: Can the EPC-102B be expanded with additional serial ports or I/O?
A: Yes. The EPC-102B is built on CESIPC’s BlockCore™ modular architecture, which supports function expansion cards for additional COM ports (RS232/RS422/RS485), digital I/O, CAN bus, and other interfaces — without modifying the base chassis. This allows the same unit to be configured for different application requirements across CNC, automation, and process control.
Q: What power supply does the EPC-102B require?
A: The EPC-102B accepts 9–36V DC wide-range input via a 3-pin pluggable terminal block, compatible with standard 12V and 24V industrial DC rails. It supports both AT (auto power-on) and ATX (soft power) boot modes, making it suitable for unattended systems that need to restart automatically after power interruptions.
Q: What operating temperature range does the EPC-102B support?
A: The standard configuration operates from 0°C to 50°C. An extended temperature option is available for -40°C to 70°C environments, covering outdoor enclosures, cold storage facilities, and high-temperature industrial zones such as steel mills and chemical plants.
