Product Features
Technical Overview
At the core of the ARK-1123C is the Intel Atom E3825 processor, a dual-core 1.33 GHz SoC that balances performance with thermal efficiency. The system utilizes DDR3L SDRAM technology for memory operations, with integrated Intel graphics sharing the same memory pool. This configuration provides sufficient graphical capability for basic display output while maintaining the low-power characteristics essential for embedded applications.
Connectivity is comprehensive with one Gigabit Ethernet port powered by an Intel I210 controller for reliable network communication. The unit includes two USB ports (one USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0) for peripheral attachment, plus dedicated serial communication interfaces: one standard RS-232 port and one configurable RS-232/422/485 port. A GPIO header enables custom input/output integration for sensor networks or control systems. Expansion is facilitated through both full-size and half-size MiniPCIe slots, supporting wireless modules or additional storage via mSATA.
Key Product Advantages
The ARK-1123C distinguishes itself through its combination of industrial-grade construction, comprehensive connectivity, and expansion flexibility in an exceptionally compact form factor. The fanless thermal design ensures silent operation and eliminates fan failure points, making it ideal for 24/7 operation in environments where maintenance access is limited.
Industrial Connectivity
Dual serial ports (RS-232 and RS-232/422/485) plus GPIO support legacy industrial equipment and custom I/O requirements that standard consumer PCs cannot address.
- Legacy serial device support
- Configurable RS-232/422/485 port
- GPIO for sensor/actuator integration
Expansion Flexibility
Two MiniPCIe slots (one full-size, one half-size) enable wireless connectivity, cellular modems, or additional storage via mSATA, while the internal 2.5" SATA bay accommodates HDD or SSD storage.
- Full-size MiniPCIe for WLAN/WWAN
- Half-size MiniPCIe for mSATA
- 2.5" SATA bay for storage
Deployment Versatility
Optional VESA, DIN rail, and wall mounting kits provide multiple installation options, while the threaded DC jack design ensures secure power connection in vibration-prone environments.
- VESA mount compatible
- DIN rail mounting option
- Threaded DC power connector
Deployment / Use Cases
The Advantech ARK-1123C is purpose-built for embedded computing applications where reliability, compact size, and industrial connectivity are paramount. Its fanless design and wide operating temperature range make it suitable for environments where dust, debris, or temperature extremes would compromise conventional computers with active cooling.
In industrial automation settings, the dual serial ports and GPIO interface enable direct communication with PLCs, sensors, and legacy equipment. The unit can serve as a gateway device, data logger, or control system interface on factory floors. For digital signage and kiosk applications, the compact form factor allows discreet mounting behind displays, while the low power consumption reduces operational costs for multi-unit deployments. In transportation and infrastructure monitoring, the rugged construction and expansion capabilities support edge computing tasks where reliability is non-negotiable.
Physical Profile
Measuring just 5.27" wide × 3.71" deep × 1.70" high (133.80 × 94.20 × 43.10 mm) and weighing approximately 1.76 lb (800 g), the ARK-1123C achieves remarkable density for its capabilities. The all-metal enclosure provides EMI shielding and structural rigidity while facilitating passive heat dissipation through conduction. The compact footprint enables installation in space-constrained locations where traditional PCs would not fit, while multiple mounting options (VESA, DIN rail, wall) provide deployment flexibility across different environments.
