Atom x6413E equipped high-expandability embedded PC BX-M310

Contec has added a lineup of box computers (R) "BX-M310 series" equipped with a Windows 11-based embedded OS – Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 model, and started accepting orders from April 3, 2025. *1 *1 Only for the Japanese model; orders for overseas models are scheduled to begin soon.

We would like to inform you about the expected start date for orders of industrial computers equipped with Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024, based on Windows 11. The lifecycle suitable for long-term operation, along with features that enhance reliability and security, will lead your projects to success. ● Reduction of maintenance workload for long-term operation The LTSC (Long-Term Servicing Channel) OS can be used in the same environment for up to 10 years. Windows Update includes only critical quality updates. Since feature updates are excluded, the need for re-evaluation with each update is minimized, reducing maintenance workload. Various features not found in standard Windows, such as restrictions on user operations and OS write actions, are included. In particular, the UWF (Unified Write Filter) light filter function significantly reduces writes to the disk by redirecting OS write actions to memory. Additionally, there are very useful features that help keep the OS in a proper state, which also contributes to extending the lifespan of SSDs that have a limited number of write cycles.

Contec has developed a fanless embedded computer that balances space-saving and expandability, equipped with the Intel Atom x6413E (Elkhart Lake) processor, consisting of 6 models in the "BX-M310 series" and 9 models in the "BX-T310 series" (hereinafter referred to as new products), and has started accepting orders from December 5, 2023. The CPU performance of both series is about twice that of our previous models (BX-M210, BX-T210), and they are equipped with a DisplayPort ×1, USB 3.2 Gen2 (USB 3.1) ×2, USB 2.0 ×4, LAN ×2, as well as expansion interfaces that support legacy device connections such as an analog RGB port and RS-232C ×2. The BX-M310 series includes a slot-in type 2.5-inch SATA disk slot and an interface with RS-232C ×4 (with one port switchable to RS-422A/485). The new products feature a fanless wide temperature range design and functions such as "Power Cut Protection®," which supports operation without the need for shutdown during power interruptions, making them ideal for applications such as small unmanned transport vehicles and vehicle embedding.
