WCL051-BT-320 Overview
Many HMI and machine-control designs need more than an entry-level processor but not the top clock bin. The WCL051-BT-320 sits in the middle of the DFI WCL051 series: a 2.5″ Pico-ITX single board computer with a six-core Intel Core 5 320, built to sit behind a touch panel or inside a compact controller housing.
The Core 5 320 is a Wildcat Lake processor with six cores, a 15 W TDP and clocks from 1.5 to 4.6 GHz. That is typically enough for SCADA clients, operator dashboards and light analytics running side by side. Intel Xe3 graphics adds hardware video decode, including AV1 and VVC, and one DDR5 SO-DIMM socket supports up to 64 GB at 6400 MHz, sized at build time to the software you run.
For the operator station, the board pairs dual-channel 18/24-bit LVDS at up to 1920 x 1200 with an HDMI output at up to 4096 x 2160, driving two independent displays. Networking is two 2.5GbE ports on Intel I226V controllers. Two rear USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports connect scanners or cameras, while internal headers carry two USB 2.0 ports, two RS-232/422/485 ports for PLCs and meters, and 8-bit DIO. Three M.2 sockets take Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (E-key 2230), 4G or 5G with a nano SIM (B-key 3042) and a PCIe Gen4 x2 SSD (M-key 2242).
The WCL051-BT-320 runs from 12 V DC on a terminal block and operates from 0 to 60 °C with the active cooler DFI supplies. It carries CE, FCC, UKCA and RoHS compliance and supports Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 24H2 or Linux. Choose the WCL051-BT-350 for the highest clock, up to 4.8 GHz, in multi-stream vision or gateway work, or the WCL051-BT-305 where a Core 3 at up to 4.3 GHz covers the workload.
