Vecow ECX-3000 12th Gen Intel Core i9 Industrial PCs with 2.5GbE and PoE+

An industrial PC on a production line or a vehicle is usually picked for its I/O as much as its processor: how many cameras it can power, how many networks it can join and whether its drives can be changed without tools. The Vecow ECX-3000 series offers eleven answers to those questions around one 12th Gen Intel Core design in a 260 x 175 x 79 mm chassis. Choosing between them is mostly a matter of counting cameras, networks and drives, then picking the build that matches without paying for unused hardware.

Every ECX-3000 shares the same core. The Intel R680E chipset takes 12th Gen Core i9 to i3 processors up to the 16-core i9-12900E at 65 W, with two DDR4 3200 MHz SO-DIMMs for up to 64 GB, ECC or non-ECC. Intel UHD Graphics 770 drives four displays, six USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports and up to four COM ports handle peripherals, and vPro, TSN and TPM 2.0 cover management, deterministic networking and secure boot. Mini PCIe, M.2 Key B and Key E sockets with two external SIM sockets take 4G, 5G or Wi-Fi.

The builds differ in networking and storage. The ECX-3000-2G and ECX-3000-2R have two LAN ports, and the ECX-3000-4G and ECX-3000-4R have four, with the R builds adding two front-access 2.5″ trays. The ECX-3000-PoE, ECX-3000-PoER and ECX-3000-PoES power four 2.5GbE PoE+ cameras, with no trays, two 2.5″ trays or four M.2 trays. The ECX-3025 and ECX-3025R raise the count to nine LAN ports, and the ECX-3071X and ECX-3071XR add two 10GbE ports, cooled by an internal fan.

ECX-3000 industrial PCs typically serve machine vision, public security and in-vehicle computing. A 9 V to 50 V DC input with 16-mode software ignition control suits vehicle and cabinet power. The fanless builds are rated from -40 °C to 75 °C with 35 W processors, the 10GbE builds from 0 °C to 50 °C, and the series carries IEC 60068 shock and vibration testing and EN 50155 and EN 50121-3-2 EMC listings. Wall mounting is standard, with DIN-rail and 2U rack kits optional, so the same chassis fits a cabinet, a vehicle bay or a rack.
