DFI ECX700-AL-E3950-CAN-LTE Intel Atom x7-E3950 Compact Waterproof Computer with CAN Bus and 4G LTE

Mobile plant and service vehicles typically need two links: CAN bus to the machine and a cellular connection to the office. The ECX700-AL-E3950-CAN-LTE is the CAN bus and cellular build of the DFI ECX700-AL series, an IP67 and IP69K waterproof computer on the quad-core x7-E3950 with a 4G LTE module fitted.

Compute is the Intel Atom x7-E3950, four cores at 1.6 GHz, up to 2.0 GHz, at 12 W, with Intel HD Graphics driving one HDMI output at up to 3840 x 2160 at 30 Hz. Memory is 4 GB of DDR3L on board plus one SO-DIMM slot for up to 8 GB, and storage is 64 GB of eMMC. As an Apollo Lake system, the ECX700-AL-E3950-CAN-LTE supports Windows 10 IoT Enterprise as DFI states, as well as Linux, which suits established HMI, data collection and signage software.

I/O on the bottom panel covers one USB 3.0 and one USB 2.0 port on sealed IP67 receptacles and a combo connector carrying two RS-232 and two CAN bus ports, with HDMI and an external SIM slot on the front. This build fits the CAN card and the 4G LTE module as standard, with LTE antennas on the top, and Wi-Fi remains optional in the M.2 2230 slot. Inside, the two full-size Mini PCIe slots carry the LTE module and the CAN card.

Power is 9 to 36 V DC on an M12 D-coded connector. The ECX700-AL-E3950-CAN-LTE runs fanless from -40 °C to 70 °C in a housing rated IP67 and IP69K, with operating shock tested at 15 G half-sine to IEC 60068-2-27 and vibration to MIL-STD-810G. DFI lists CE, FCC Class A and RoHS, with a UKCA declaration, and the unit wall mounts. We supply it configured and tested, with the OS image and fitted modules checked before it ships. To add Wi-Fi, see the ECX700-AL-E3950-CAN-WIFI-LTE, or the ECX700-AL-E3950-CAN-WIFI for Wi-Fi in place of LTE.
