Cincoze DX-1300 fanless industrial PC adds external EMC power protection

Key Takeaway

Cincoze's DX-1300 fanless industrial computer now supports optional external PPM-I360 and PPM-I180 modules to suppress electrical interference in industrial environments.

Summary

Cincoze has introduced external Power Protection Modules for its DX-1300 fanless industrial PC, which runs Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. The PPM-I360 and PPM-I180 modules attach via slide-rail and suppress Electrical Fast Transient interference at the power input, helping systems meet EN/IEC 61000-4-4 industrial EMC requirements. The DX-1300 is built on Intel's Arrow Lake-S platform with Core Ultra 200S processors, supports up to 96GB DDR5, and offers modular I/O expansion through CMI and CFM technologies.

DX-1300 specs and protection module details

  • Platform: Intel Arrow Lake-S with W880 chipset; Core Ultra 5/7/9 processors (10 to 24 cores, 35W or 65W TDP)
  • Memory: 2x DDR5 SO-DIMM sockets, up to 96GB unbuffered or ECC; 6400MHz on Core Ultra 7/9, 5600MHz on Core Ultra 5
  • AI performance: Up to 36 TOPS total platform AI via integrated NPU and Intel graphics
  • Networking: 2x Intel I226 2.5GbE ports; expandable to 12 LAN or 8 PoE via CMI modules
  • Storage: 2x front-accessible 2.5-inch SATA bays; 2x M.2 Key B (3042/3052, 2242), 1x M.2 Key E 2230
  • PPM modules: PPM-I360 (360W, DX/DS/DV-1000/GM series); PPM-I180 (180W, DA-1100/DC-1200/DI-1100); both add EFT immunity per EN/IEC 61000-4-4
  • Operating temperature: -20°C to 60°C (35W), -20°C to 50°C (65W with external fan kit)
  • OS support: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Windows 10, Windows 11

Why it matters

The external PPM design allows retrofitting existing compatible Cincoze systems without hardware changes, which may appeal to industrial deployments needing to meet stricter EMC standards. Ubuntu 24.04 LTS support makes the DX-1300 viable for Linux-based edge AI and automation workloads.
