DFI ECX700-AL-E3930-CAN Intel Atom x5-E3930 Compact Waterproof Computer with CAN Bus

Not every sealed computer needs a radio. On a washdown line or a fixed machine, CAN bus, serial and wired Ethernet often cover the job, and leaving wireless out keeps the installation simpler. The ECX700-AL-E3930-CAN is the wired CAN bus build of the DFI ECX700-AL series, an IP67 and IP69K waterproof computer on a dual-core Atom.

Compute is the Intel Atom x5-E3930, two cores at 1.3 GHz, up to 1.8 GHz, with Intel HD Graphics driving one HDMI output at up to 3840 x 2160 at 30 Hz. Memory is 4 GB of DDR3L on board plus one SO-DIMM slot for up to 8 GB, and storage is 32 GB of eMMC. As an Apollo Lake system, the ECX700-AL-E3930-CAN supports Windows 10 IoT Enterprise as DFI states, as well as Linux, which suits established HMI, data collection and signage software.

I/O on the bottom panel covers two GbE ports from Intel I210AT controllers on M12, two USB 3.0 ports on sealed IP67 receptacles, and a combo connector carrying two RS-232 and two CAN bus ports. The front has HDMI and an external SIM slot. This build fits the CAN card as standard, and Wi-Fi or an LTE module remain optional. Expansion inside is two full-size Mini PCIe slots, one for an LTE module and one for the CAN card, and one M.2 2230 slot for a Wi-Fi module, with antenna holes on the top and front.

Power is 9 to 36 V DC on an M12 D-coded connector. The ECX700-AL-E3930-CAN runs fanless from -40 °C to 70 °C in a housing rated IP67 and IP69K, with operating shock tested at 15 G half-sine to IEC 60068-2-27 and vibration to MIL-STD-810G. DFI lists CE, FCC Class A and RoHS, with a UKCA declaration, and the unit wall mounts. We supply it configured and tested, with the OS image and fitted modules checked before it ships. For four cores and wireless, see the ECX700-AL-E3950-CAN-WIFI-LTE, or the ECX700-AL-E3930-WIFI-LTE for Wi-Fi and LTE without CAN.
