EDATEC CM4 Panel PC block Diagram — Block diagram

EDATEC says the industrial Panel PC supports Raspberry Pi OS (Desktop) 32-bit or 64-bit or Raspberry Pi OS (Lite) 32-bit or 64-bit, but the latter obviously does not make a lot of sense for a panel PC… I find it a little odd there’s no ingress protection (IP) rating for this type of hardware, as other Raspberry Pi CM4-based panel PCs such as ComfilePi CPi-C070WR4C or WIN Enterprises PL-50300 are rated IP67 (at the front).

EDATEC ED-HMI2020-101C 10.1-inch RaspberryPi CM4-based industrial panel PC is available now and you can purchase samples of the “ED-HMI2020-101C-1108-10” model with 1GB RAM, 8GB eMMC flash, WiFi & Bluetooth for $199 on Aliexpress. Further information may also be found on the product page.
