ASRock Industrial iEP-5020G-022 Intel Atom x7433RE Fanless Edge Gateway with Five LAN Ports and Wi-Fi

Cabinets that sit between several machine networks and a plant uplink often run short of Ethernet ports before they run short of compute. The ASRock Industrial iEP-5020G-022 is the five-LAN Wi-Fi build of the iEP-5020G series, with five Intel LAN ports and a slot for optional Wi-Fi 6E on a fanless edge gateway for DIN-rail mounting.

The Intel Atom x7433RE is a quad-core Amston Lake processor at 1.5 GHz and 9 W, which keeps heat low enough for a fanless design. One DDR5 4800 SO-DIMM takes up to 16 GB with Intel In-Band ECC, and an M.2 2280 Key M slot on PCIe Gen3 x2 takes an NVMe SSD, with a Micro SD slot alongside. TPM 2.0, a watchdog timer and Intel In-Band Manageability are built in, and Windows 11 and Linux are supported.

Networking is four Intel Gigabit ports, two I210-IT and two I210-AT, plus one Intel I226-IT 2.5GbE port, with TSN and Intel TCC supported on LAN1 under Ubuntu for time-sensitive traffic. Two RS-232/422/485 ports, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, one USB 2.0, a USB-C port that also carries DisplayPort, a DisplayPort 1.4a output and audio complete the I/O. An M.2 Key E slot takes an optional Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 module; this build has no cellular slot and no PoE.

Power is 6 to 36 V DC on two 3-pin terminal blocks, with OVP, UVP, OCP and 80 V surge protection. The iEP-5020G-022 is rated from -40 °C to 70 °C with airflow, is tested to 100 G shock and 5 Grms vibration and carries CE and FCC Class A marks. We supply it configured and tested, with memory, NVMe storage, the OS image and any Wi-Fi module fitted. The iEP-5020G-023 swaps the Wi-Fi slot for a 4G or 5G slot, and the iEP-5020G-021 adds PoE to two of the five ports.
