Fanless Control-System PC

BOX-1100 Industrial PC for Control Cabinet Integration

BOX-1100 gives system integrators a compact fanless platform for automation cabinets, transportation monitoring and industrial control rooms. Work with an industrial pc manufacturer when you need J1900 processing, dual Ethernet and serial I/O in a space-saving enclosure, and compare industrial computer manufacturers by the details that affect installation, uptime and future service.

Control Cabinet Fit Checks

Confirm the BOX-1100 around the cabinet, not after installation

The strongest fit signals for this model are mechanical size, passive cooling, industrial I/O density and environmental tolerance. Treat those as early checks when the PC will sit beside PLCs, HMIs, sensors or rail-monitoring equipment.

01

Cabinet Space

Plan for the 245mm x 157mm x 58.5mm body and 2.05KG weight, with desktop or wall-mounted installation depending on the enclosure layout.

02

Thermal Path

The fanless aluminum-fin design reduces moving parts and dust intake, so leave the heat-dissipation side clear instead of packing cables tightly around the chassis.

03

I/O Allocation

Reserve dual Gigabit Ethernet for network segmentation or redundancy, then map RS232 and RS485 channels to legacy devices, meters, sensors or controllers.

04

Environment Range

Match the -20 to 60C working temperature, no-condensing humidity range, vibration, shock and CE/FCC Class B EMC details with the actual installation site.

I/O Integration Map

Assign each interface to a control-system role

A compact industrial PC is easier to specify when every port has a job. Use this map to separate network, field-device, operator-display and expansion requirements before the configuration moves into quotation.

Ethernet Channel

2 Intel Gigabit Ethernet ports can support segmented communication paths, such as plant network plus device network, or a primary and backup link for monitoring nodes.

Serial Device Channel

RS232 and RS485 coverage gives the system room for meters, legacy controllers, sensors or signaling equipment where serial communication remains part of the line.

Operator Display Channel

HDMI and VGA outputs help pair the BOX-1100 with local monitors, HMI stations or maintenance screens, with dual display modes listed for flexible visualization.

Power and Expansion Channel

DC12V, GPIO, audio, Mini PCI-E, SIM card slot and wireless networking give the cabinet designer practical options for peripheral, signal and network planning.
