MSI just unveiled the MS-C907, a mini PC designed specifically for industrial applications. The compact size (200 x 150 x 55 mm) allows for integration into space-constrained environments, making it suitable for deployment in factories, control rooms, or even within vehicles.
The MS-C907 offers a wide DC power input range (9~36V) for flexibility in power source options, making sure that it operates reliably even in non-standard power environments. Dual display outputs (DisplayPort and HDMI) provide configuration options for connecting to monitors or industrial control panels.
Connectivity options include 4 USB 3.2 ports for high-speed data transfer, 6 USB 2.0 ports for compatibility with legacy devices, 2 COM ports for serial communication with industrial equipment, and 8 GPIO ports for general purpose input/output functions. This set of ports allows the MS-C907 to integrate into various industrial automation and control systems.
Security and network performance are addressed with dual LAN ports featuring 2.5 Gigabit speeds for fast data transfer and TPM 2.0 support for hardware-based encryption, keeping sensitive industrial data safe. The system is built to withstand harsh environments, operating reliably in temperatures ranging from -10°C to 55°C. This wide operating temperature range allows the MS-C907 to function in factories, warehouses, or even transportation applications without performance degradation (due to extreme temperatures).
Users have the option of choosing between the Intel Core i3-N305 and Intel Processor N97 processor (code name: Alder Lake N). While the N305 has a lower base frequency of 1.80 GHz as compared to the N97's 2.00 GHz, it has a higher turbo frequency at 3.80 GHz. MSI's other mini PC from the same series, the MS-C903 has an Intel Core i7 processor. These processors handle complex data processing and management tasks typical in industrial settings, such as machine control, data acquisition, and real-time process monitoring. MSI has listed all the certified retailers for the MS-C907 on this webpage.
