Extreme Environment Industrial PC, C1D2, Stainless Steel, Wide-Temp, Intel® Quad-Core

Abbreviation for Atmosphere Explosible, ATEX refers to the risk of explosion that can occur in environments when flammable gasses or dust are present. Used by the EU Directives meant to regulate devices used in explosive atmospheres.

ATEX Zone 2 is an industrial classification for areas where explosive gas/vapor atmospheres are unlikely during normal operation but might occur for short periods due to accidental releases, requiring equipment with lower, but still significant, ignition protection (like Category 3G equipment) for safety in hazardous environments. It’s a step down in risk from Zone 1 (likely during normal operation) and Zone 0 (continuous presence), but still needs certified equipment to prevent sparks or heat from causing an explosion.

Maple Systems offers ATEX Zone 2 certified panel PC computer systems for oil rig operations in hazardous locations.

Yes, all our Industrial Panel PC and Embedded Box PC units are fanless design.

Fanless PCs, also known as passively cooled systems, offer benefits like silent operation, enhanced reliability (fewer moving parts, less dust), greater durability (vibration resistance), improved energy efficiency, and suitability for harsh/dusty environments, making them great for quiet spaces, industrial settings, or anywhere you need a low-maintenance, long-lasting computer.

See our What are the benefits of Fanless Industrial PCs FAQ for a deeper dive into the benefits.

We have large amounts of inventory and can typically ship with in 2 business days!

M12 connectors are the standard for harsh environments due to their robust durability and compact design. These circular connectors feature a 12mm locking thread and are resistant to moisture, dust, and vibration, making them ideal for applications in automation, automotive, manufacturing, and process control. They provide secure screw-lock connections, can withstand shock and extreme temperatures, and offer various coding options for power, signal, and data transmission.

Key Advantages:

• Rugged & Durable: Built to withstand extreme industrial conditions, including vibration, shock, temperature swings, chemicals, and UV exposure, with high IP ratings (IP67, IP68, IP69K) for water/dust protection.
• Secure & Reliable Connection: A threaded screw-locking mechanism ensures a stable, vibration-resistant connection, preventing accidental disconnections and maintaining signal integrity.
• Compact Design: Small footprint allows for integration into tight spaces, crucial for sensors and machinery.
• Versatile Coding: Different codings (A, B, C, D, X) provide compatibility for various signals (power, data, control) and applications, including high-speed Ethernet (X-coded).
• Ease of Installation: Simple, plug-and-play design reduces setup and maintenance time and cost.
• Standardization: Meets international standards (like IEC), ensuring interoperability and interchangeability between different manufacturers’ products.
• High Performance: Reliable transmission of power, data, and signals with low contact resistance, suitable for IIoT and automation. 

M12 connectors offer advantages like ruggedness (IP67/IP68/IP69K sealing for dust, water, washdowns), vibration resistance, compact size, and ease of installation with secure screw-locking. Their versatility, with different codings (A, B, C, D, X), allows for reliable signal, data (Ethernet), and power transmission, making them a standard for harsh industrial automation, robotics, and transportation due to their durability and standardized performance.

Absolutely! Maple Systems can provide you with another cost effective PanelView alternative using any of our rugged-Windows based IPCs or Touch Panel PCs.

Why would you want to use one of our products instead of Allen Bradley or Rockwell hardware?

• If you need a wider screen size range: We offer 7.0, 8.0, 10.1, 10.4, 12.1, 15.0, 15.6, 17.0, 18.5, 19.0, 21.5, 23.4, and 27.0″ options.
• If you need higher brightness for outdoor use: We offer Panel PCs with up to 1000nits.
• If you need IIP65/IP66/IP67/IP66-IP69K rated, or stainless enclosures: We offer a wide range of IP ratings, fully enclosed waterproof, front panel mounted waterproof, even UL Listed IPCs.
• If you want to avoid the high costs of a PanelView: We offer rugged, heavy duty Industrial PCs at a much lower cost. And, you don’t need to pay us any annual service fees when using our products.
• If you need to run additional apps alongside FactoryTalk like: SQL logging, MES clients, Web dashboards, VPN tools, Ignition Edge, etc. PanelView can’t do this.

If you want to save money, use more flexible hardware for more modern automation setups, we recommend giving us a try. You still have to purchase your software license from them, but we’ll deliver faster, your project will typically run faster, its easy to install, you get more peripheral support, full Windows remote access tools, and more advanced IIoT/Cloud Integration features.

Yes! Are you using one of our HMIs or IPCs?

You can use our Windows or Linux based IPCs and Touch Panel PCs to run Ignition Edge locally.

You can also use our HMIs to communicate with Ignition via Modbus TCP, OPC UA, and MQTT, which makes a programmers life easier when building distributed edge gateways, dashboards, or data collection nodes within an Ignition-powered architecture.

They sure do! Contact our sales department today for more info on our Windows based Industrial Box PCs and rugged Touch Screen Panel PCs.

Why use a Maple IPC instead of a GE/Emerson hardware? If you want high performance at a lower cost, need larger screen sizes, higher flexibility, the option to run multiple apps on the same device, more SSD and RAM options and fast delivery times, stick with us, we’ve got you covered!

Yep, absolutely yes and definitely a cost effective alternative with regards to hardware.

All of our Windows based IPCs and Touch Panel PCs can run WinCC Runtime Advanced as well as WinCC Unified. Using our IPCs running WinCC, you’ll generally get a higher performance device per dollar with a more ruggedized enclosure with higher screen resolution, more RAM and SSD options, and the ability to run other industrial software on the same machine with more advanced remote access tools.

On another note, when used with Siemens PLCs, our HMIs support multiple Siemens drivers and protocols, including native S7 communication drivers.

Yes, yes they do. Quite well actually. If you’re looking for a cost-effective, unbranded hardware option with the flexibility to run this SCADA software along with other apps simultaneously, multiple screen size options, high-brightness options, more SSD and RAM options, with expansive I/O, Maple Systems is the right choice.

Yes, VTScada runs on Window and supports both Windows 10 and 11. Our IPCs deliver equal or better performance at a significantly lower cost to our competitors.

With full support for Windows 10 and 11 and common industrial protocols, our IPCs run VTScada exactly as you would expect, delivering smooth graphics, reliable data logging, and seamless connectivity to all your peripherals. Available in fanless, panel-mount, and stainless-steel options with IP65–IP69K protection, we provide the flexibility needed to build scalable SCADA systems without locking you into proprietary hardware.

Pairing VTScada with one of our IPCs or Touch Panel PCs, gives integrators a robust, open, and budget-friendly solution for both new installations and modernization projects.
