DFI ECX700-AL-E3950-CAN-WIFI Intel Atom x7-E3950 Fanless Waterproof Computer with CAN Bus and Wi-Fi

Yard vehicles, port equipment and machines on a large site can often rely on site Wi-Fi rather than cellular, uploading CAN data when they pass an access point. The ECX700-AL-E3950-CAN-WIFI is the CAN bus and Wi-Fi build of the DFI ECX700-AL series, an IP67 and IP69K waterproof computer on the quad-core x7-E3950.

Compute is the Intel Atom x7-E3950, four cores at 1.6 GHz, up to 2.0 GHz, at 12 W, 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 64 GB of eMMC. As an Apollo Lake system, the ECX700-AL-E3950-CAN-WIFI 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 one USB 3.0 and one USB 2.0 port on sealed IP67 receptacles and a combo connector carrying two RS-232 and two CAN bus ports, with HDMI and an external SIM slot on the front. This build fits the CAN card and the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth module as standard, with Wi-Fi antennas on the front, and a 4G LTE module remains optional in the free full-size Mini PCIe slot.

Power is 9 to 36 V DC on an M12 D-coded connector. The ECX700-AL-E3950-CAN-WIFI 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 cellular instead, see the ECX700-AL-E3950-CAN-LTE, or the ECX700-AL-E3950-CAN-WIFI-LTE for both radios.
