PM-2250 Overview
HMIs that run richer visualization, kiosks with video and surveillance stations that handle several streams benefit from more cores, while keeping the computer as a module that can be swapped without replacing the screen. The Arestech PM-2250 is the Core i3-N305 model in the PM-2200/2250 series series, a fanless PC module that pairs with Arestech DM-1xxP display modules in its modular system. Arestech lists factory automation, HMI, self-service kiosks, security and surveillance, and warehouse management.
The PM-2250 runs an Intel Core i3-N305 (Alder Lake-N) at up to 3.8 GHz with TPM 2.0. One DDR5 4800 SO-DIMM socket takes up to 16 GB. A removable 2.5″ SATA drive bay holds the main drive, and an M.2 B-Key 2230/2242/2280 slot with PCIe, SATA, USB 3.0 and SIM takes an optional 4G or 5G module. Windows 11 IoT and Linux are supported.
Two 2.5GbE ports on Intel I226-IT controllers, two DisplayPort 1.4a outputs at up to 4096 x 2160 (one through USB Type-C), three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A and one USB 2.0 Type-A port connect the display, touch, cameras and printers. Two RS-232/422/485 ports, four isolated DI and four isolated DO, line-out and mic-in complete the I/O, with a full-size mini-PCIe slot and two SIM holders for optional wireless. The PM-2200 is the Intel Processor N97 sibling, and the CB-2250 puts the same Core i3-N305 electronics into a wall-mount rugged chassis.
Power is 9 to 48 V DC through a DC jack or three-pin terminal block, protected against over-voltage, over-current and reverse polarity. The cable-free, fanless aluminum chassis runs from -40 °C to 70 °C, is tested to 1 Grms vibration and 15 G shock, carries CE and FCC Class A marks and has a VESA mounting plate on its base. We supply the PM-2250 configured, with the OS installed, and tested before it ships.

Official Arestech USA Distributor
Things Embedded is an official Arestech USA distributor, supplying the PM-2250 configured for USA HMI, kiosk and surveillance projects. Within the Arestech range the PM-2200 uses an Intel Processor N97 for lighter loads with the same I/O, and the CB-2250 carries the same Core i3-N305 electronics in a wall-mount chassis tested to higher shock and vibration.
The PM-2250 sits among our box PCs, our fanless computers and our Intel-based industrial PCs. Where an HMI or kiosk needs Core i3 compute in a swappable module behind an Arestech DM-1xxP display module, this is the PM-2200/2250 configuration to specify.
