ECX-4000-6G Overview
Machine builders often keep camera, control and plant networks apart for security and determinism, which needs more Ethernet ports than a typical box has. The ECX-4000-6G is the six-port fanless AI computer in the Vecow ECX-4000 series, with five 2.5GbE ports and one GbE port.
Inside the ECX-4000-6G, Vecow uses Intel Core Ultra 200S processors (Arrow Lake-S) on the W880 chipset, from the 14-core Core Ultra 5 245 to the 24-core Core Ultra 9 285 in 65 W or 35 W versions. The integrated NPU and Xe LPG graphics deliver up to 36 TOPS, which suits OpenVINO inference for detection, classification and anomaly checks without a separate accelerator. Two DDR5 6400 MHz CSODIMM slots take up to 96 GB, with ECC as an option, and Intel vPro, TSN, TCC and TPM 2.0 support remote management, deterministic networking and hardware-based security.
Networking on the ECX-4000-6G is five 2.5GbE ports and one GbE port. Two SATA III ports with software RAID 0 or 1 and an M.2 Key M PCIe x4 slot keep storage inside the unit. Six USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, four RS-232/422/485 COM ports, 16 isolated DIO, two DisplayPort, HDMI 2.0 and DVI-I outputs, two M.2 Key B sockets and an M.2 Key E socket with two SIM slots for 5G, 4G or Wi-Fi complete the I/O.
The fanless chassis is rated -40 °C to 75 °C with a 35 W CPU, or -40 °C to 55 °C with a 65 W CPU, on redundant 9-50 V DC inputs with 16-mode software ignition control and EN 50155 EMC listings. For powered cameras on the same port layout, the ECX-4000-PoE makes four of the 2.5GbE ports PoE+.
