ECX-3100 PEG Overview
GPU inference does not always come with powered cameras attached. The ECX-3100 PEG is the base industrial GPU PC in the Vecow ECX-3000 PEG series, with one PCIe x16 slot, two GbE ports and two front-access SSD trays, and no PoE+ hardware to pay for.
The ECX-3100 PEG runs on the Intel R680E chipset and takes Intel Core 200S processors (Bartlett Lake-S) or 12th, 13th and 14th Gen Core i9, i7, i5 and i3, up to 24 cores and 65 W TDP; Vecow notes the 14th Gen parts are for PC client use conditions only. Two DDR5 5200 MHz SO-DIMM slots take up to 96 GB. The PCIe expansion is for an NVIDIA or AMD graphics card, with a GPU power budget of up to 200 W, which suits AI inference, 3D vision and visualisation at the edge.
Expansion on the ECX-3100 PEG is one PCIe x16 slot, plus a Mini PCIe socket, two M.2 Key B sockets and an M.2 Key E socket with three nano SIM slots for 5G, 4G or Wi-Fi. Networking is two GbE ports, one Intel I219LM with iAMT and one Intel I210, with no PoE+. Two front-access 2.5″ SSD trays support software RAID 0 or 1, beside an M.2 Key M PCIe x4 slot. Six USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, a 20 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C port, four COM ports and 16 GPIO complete the I/O.
The 79 mm tall, 4.5 kg chassis runs on 12-50 V DC with 16-mode software ignition control, rated -20 °C to 45 °C with its system fan, with MIL-STD-810G operating shock and vibration and EN 50155 EMC listings. Where cameras need power, the ECX-3200 PEG adds four 2.5GbE PoE+ ports.
