コンテック
Contec has developed a fanless embedded PC that balances space-saving and expandability, and has started accepting orders for it as the "Box Computer® BX-M210" from May 24, 2022. The BX-M210 series is a Windows-compatible fanless embedded PC equipped with a power-efficient quad-core Intel Atom® x5-E3940 processor. It achieves space-saving with a size comparable to A5 paper while incorporating functions that were previously realized through the addition of peripheral devices such as expansion boards. The internal structure is divided into two layers, with the upper half consolidating the basic functions of an industrial computer and the lower half reserved for functional expansion. It features the "M.2" standard for expansion cards, allowing for various functional enhancements. There are two models: the "GPIO model," which adds 32 points of opto-isolated digital input/output, 2×USB2.0 ports, and 2×RS-485 ports, and the "SATA model," which includes a 2.5-inch SATA drive slot. Each model offers a total of eight types, with options for wireless LAN + Bluetooth or without, and with or without an operating system.
