Compact size and high performance - IEI's DRPC-230-ULT5 embedded systems based on Intel 8th gen Core CPU

The new series includes three models based on 8th Gen Intel Whiskey Lake processors: DRPC-230-ULT5-i5 and DRPC-230-ULT5-i5/S have Core i5-8365UE CPU, while DRPC-230-ULT5-C/S has Celeron 4205U.

DRPC-230-ULT5-i5 PC offers a full size PCI-Express x4 slot, which allows you to install any PCI-Express x1, x2 or x4 expansion cards, for example, Mustang-V100-MX8 or Mustang-V100-MX4 AI accelerators may be installed to maximize performance in machine vision systems, or an optional PoE network card can be installed to connect IP cameras.

There is a special 4-pin 12 Volt DC connector for PoE network cards, which is able to provide up to 60W of power.
