12" Fanless Panel PC TPC-312 - Core i3-8145UE

Optimal Performance for Industrial Applications

The Advantech TPC-312 is a 12-inch industrial Panel PC designed to deliver robust performance in demanding environments. It is powered by a powerful 8th Generation Intel Core i3-8145UE processor with 2 cores, reaching a maximum frequency of 3.9 GHz, ensuring smooth execution of critical industrial applications. This Panel PC supports up to 64 GB of DDR4 SO-DIMM RAM, allowing for efficient management of intensive workloads and multitasking. Its completely fanless design ensures quiet and reliable operation, minimizing maintenance and resisting dusty environments. For storage, it offers great flexibility with a slot for a 2.5-inch SATA SSD/HDD, as well as two M.2 slots (one 2242 and one 2280), one of which supports NVMe PCIe x4 for ultra-fast read/write speeds. It is compatible with Linux, Windows 10, and Windows 11 operating systems.

Extended Connectivity and Expansion Capabilities

The Advantech TPC-312 features comprehensive connectivity for easy integration into existing infrastructures. It includes two Ethernet ports for stable network communication, as well as five USB ports, including four USB 3.0 and one USB 2.0, for peripheral connections. Two RS-232/422/485 serial ports ensure broad compatibility with various industrial equipment. A DisplayPort (DP) output is available for connecting an external display, and an audio input/output is included. Its expansion capabilities are enhanced by a Full-Size Mini PCI-E slot and M.2 slots for communication modules or other peripherals, as well as compatibility with Advantech's iDoor technology for additional I/O functionalities. Power is supplied by a 24 VDC input with a typical consumption of 45.48 W.

Modular Expansion with Advantech iDoor Technology

Advantech iDoor technology represents an innovative modular approach to extending the functionalities of industrial Panel PCs and other embedded devices. Based on the Mini PCIe format, these modules allow system integrators to precisely choose the I/O functions they need, thus avoiding the acquisition of expensive equipment with superfluous features. iDoor modules offer great flexibility for integrating various capabilities, including industrial Fieldbus protocols (such as Profibus, Profinet, EtherCAT, Powerlink), memory and storage expansions, wired or wireless communication options (Wi-Fi, 3G, LTE, GPS, RFID, Bluetooth), and digital and analog I/Os. This modular design not only simplifies assembly and installation through standardized components and clear interfaces but also ensures future scalability of systems, allowing for easy upgrades as technologies or application needs change.
