PI215G 21.5 Inch N97/N305 Industrial Panel PC
PI215G 21.5-inch Full HD N97/N305 panel PC with touch, 3 LAN, 4 USB, serial I/O and 9-36 V DC input for large production dashboards.
The PI215G is a Windows industrial panel PC for large-format production dashboards and multi-zone process visualization. It combines Intel Alder Lake-N N97 or Core i3-N305, 3 x GbE (2 x Intel i210 with optional PoE, 1 x Realtek RTL8111H), 3 x USB 3.0, 1 x USB 2.0 and 9-36 V DC input in a configuration that should be checked as one complete build before quotation.
Request a configuration review: send the workload, I/O list, installation drawing and required OS through the contact page. VstrongTech will confirm the selected CPU, memory, storage, ports and accessories against the current orderable configuration.
Why integrators shortlist the PI215G
- Intel Alder Lake-N N97 or Core i3-N305 gives a choice between efficient control workloads and higher multi-core headroom where listed.
- 3 x GbE (2 x Intel i210 with optional PoE, 1 x Realtek RTL8111H) supports separated machine, camera, supervisory or service networks without assuming every deployment needs an external switch.
- 3 x USB 3.0, 1 x USB 2.0 and 1 x RS-232/422/485 and 1 x RS-232; expansion up to 6 COM cover modern peripherals and legacy industrial devices.
- 9-36 V DC input is suitable for common control-cabinet power architectures after connector, grounding and load are confirmed.
- Panel, VESA or embedded mounting; IP65-rated front panel provides a defined mechanical path for OEM integration.
These are configuration advantages, not a promise that every optional feature can be combined. Confirm the exact build code before releasing the bill of materials.
Match compute and memory to the workload
The listed processor platform is Intel Alder Lake-N N97 or Core i3-N305. The memory configuration is Single-channel DDR5 SO-DIMM, up to 16 GB. Select the CPU and memory from the software workload: HMI visualization, protocol conversion and lightweight control usually require less headroom than machine vision, multi-camera processing or local analytics.
Storage and wireless expansion depend on the selected board configuration. Before ordering, specify the OS image, application footprint, write endurance, boot-device preference, Wi-Fi or cellular requirement and long-term availability target. VstrongTech will check coexistence instead of treating each option as independent.
Plan the network and peripheral map
The standard external network layout is 3 x GbE (2 x Intel i210 with optional PoE, 1 x Realtek RTL8111H). USB connectivity is 3 x USB 3.0, 1 x USB 2.0. Serial connectivity is 1 x RS-232/422/485 and 1 x RS-232; expansion up to 6 COM. The standard display output is 21.5-inch, 1920 x 1080, 250 cd/m2; capacitive or resistive touch. No dedicated DIO is listed in the standard configuration.
Map each camera, PLC, scanner, drive, sensor and service connection to a physical port before quotation. Where PoE, protocol switching or extra COM is optional, state it explicitly in the RFQ. This prevents a nominal port count from hiding a controller, power-budget or cable-layout mismatch.
Verify mechanical, thermal and power limits
The enclosure measures 528 x 322.5 x 69.2 mm and weighs approximately 8.5 kg. The specified environment is 0 to 60 C operating; -40 to 85 C storage. Power input is 9-36 V DC.
Check mounting clearance, connector bend radius, airflow, cable service access and the available DC supply under maximum application load. Environmental ratings describe the listed platform; the final system temperature still depends on CPU load, storage, expansion modules, mounting surface and enclosure airflow.
