Arestech BPC-5112-1A1 Intel Core Series 2 or 14th Gen Small Form Factor Embedded PC with Triple Display

Vision and motion-control cabinets often need desktop-socket processing and three screens, but a fan-cooled PC on the floor of the cabinet tends to be the first thing to fail. The BPC-5112-1A1 is the single model in the Arestech BPC-5112 series, a small form factor embedded PC with an LGA1700 socket, Intel Q670 chipset and triple display output, aimed at edge AI, factory automation, motion control, machine vision and data analytics.

Arestech lists 13 processors for the socket: Intel Core Series 2 (Bartlett Lake) Core 7 251TE, Core 5 221TE, Core 5 211TE and Core 3 201TE at 45 W, the 14th Gen i7-14700T, i5-14500T and i3-14100T at 35 W, and 13th and 12th Gen Core i7, i5 and i3 TE parts at 35 W. That lets one BPC-5112-1A1 build scale from a Core i3 gateway to a Core 7 vision node. Dual-channel DDR5 at 4800 or 5600 MHz reaches 96 GB, Intel UHD Graphics handles the displays, and TPM 2.0 is fitted on the board.

Two HDMI 2.0b outputs and one DisplayPort 1.4a++ output drive three independent screens. Networking is one Intel I226V 2.5GbE and one Intel I219LM GbE port, with four USB 3.2 and four USB 2.0 ports, two RS-232/422/485 ports, a four-in, four-out GPIO connector, line-out and mic-in. Storage runs to two internal 2.5″ SATA SSD bays and two M.2 M-Key slots with PCIe Gen4 x4, with Intel VMD RAID 0/1, while an M.2 E-Key slot and an M.2 B-Key slot take optional Wi-Fi and 4G modules through two antenna holes.

Power is 12 to 28 V DC on a two-pin terminal block with AT and ATX modes. The extruded aluminium enclosure runs fanless from -20 °C to 60 °C, is tested under IEC 60068 for vibration and shock, carries CE and FCC Class A marks and wall mounts. We supply the BPC-5112-1A1 configured, with Windows 11 or Linux installed, and tested. The SB-5512 takes the same processors with removable SSD trays and two flexible I/O windows, and the SE-5010 adds six COM ports and ignition control on 14th Gen and earlier.
