PC6970: Redefining Industrial Computing with Rugged Performance and Unmatched Reliability

2025-07-31

The PC6970 Wall-mounted Box PC emerges as a game-changing solution designed to meet the most demanding automation challenges. Engineered by Shanghai Panelmate Electronics, this compact yet powerful industrial computer combines cutting-edge technology with rugged construction, making it the ideal choice for mission-critical applications across manufacturing, automation, and edge computing environments.

Uncompromising Performance for Industrial Excellence

At the heart of the PC6970 lies a range of high-performance Intel® processors, including 6th to 9th Generation Core™ i3/i5/i7 and Pentium® desktop processors, delivering the computational power required for complex industrial tasks. Whether running real-time motion control algorithms or processing large datasets at the edge, the PC6970 handles it all with ease, supported by up to 32GB DDR4 memory and versatile storage options (2.5" SATA HDD/SSD and full-size mSATA).

The system's Intel H110 chipset ensures seamless connectivity and efficient data processing, while the AMI UEFI BIOS provides advanced configuration options for industrial-specific requirements. With support for Windows 7/8/10/11 and various Linux distributions, the PC6970 offers unparalleled flexibility to integrate into existing industrial ecosystems, though users should note that 8th/9th Generation Intel Core processors do not support Windows 7.

Engineered for the Toughest Environments

The PC6970's rugged design sets it apart from conventional computing solutions. Housed in a compact aluminum-magnesium alloy profile (202mm x 152mm x 57.5mm), the system features a dust-proof construction that protects internal components from harsh industrial contaminants. Its passive cooling design eliminates the need for fans, reducing maintenance requirements and eliminating potential points of failure—critical advantages in environments where reliability is paramount.

Operating temperature ranges from -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F), with storage capabilities extending to -40°C to 80°C (-40°F to 176°F), ensuring optimal

performance even in extreme temperature fluctuations. The system meets stringent shock (10G peak acceleration) and vibration (5-500Hz, 1Grms with HDD) standards (IEC 60068-2-27/64), making it suitable for installation in moving machinery or transportationapplications.

Versatile Connectivity for Industrial Automation

The PC6970 excels in connectivity, featuring a comprehensive I/O interface layout strategically positioned for easy access and integration:

Networking: 2x Intel i210-AT Gigabit Ethernet ports with surge protection, supporting EtherCAT protocol and jumbo frames for real-time industrial communication
USB: 4x USB 3.0 ports for high-speed peripheral connections, plus 1x internal USB 2.0 port for secure software dongle integration
Serial Communication: 2x DB9 COM ports configurable via BIOS as RS232 or RS485, ideal for legacy industrial equipment
Display: DVI-D and DisplayPort dual outputs supporting resolutions up to 4096x2304@60Hz, enabling multi-monitor setups for control rooms
Expansion: 1x mini-PCIe slot (with SIM card slot) for adding 4G/LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or other wireless connectivity options

Power is delivered via a wide-range DC 12~36V input with dual 2-pin terminals, providing flexibility for various industrial power systems. A built-in watchdog timer (0-255s programmable) adds an extra layer of system reliability by automatically recovering from unexpected software failures.
