Vecow ECX-3600 PEG Intel 12th/13th Gen Core Industrial PC with GPU Support and 3x PCIe Slots

A GPU on its own rarely completes an inspection or capture system; there is usually a frame grabber or network card to fit as well. The ECX-3600 PEG is the three-slot industrial GPU PC in the Vecow ECX-3000 PEG series, with two PCIe x8 slots and one PCIe x4 slot, four PoE+ ports and four SSD trays.

The ECX-3600 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 visualization at the edge.

Expansion on the ECX-3600 PEG is two PCIe x8 slots and one PCIe x4 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 plus four 2.5GbE IEEE 802.3at PoE+ ports on RJ45, for IP cameras powered from the computer. Four front-access 2.5″ SSD trays support software RAID 0, 1, 5 or 10, 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 32 isolated DIO complete the I/O.

The 120 mm tall, 6.5 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 shock and vibration and EN 50155 EMC listings. The ECX-3800 PEG adds a fourth slot, and the ECX-3400 PEG offers a full x16 slot.
