Tensor-I22

IIOT (Industrial Internet of Things)

The Customizable Modular PC

Flexible and Expandable modular PC

Tensor-I22 is a build-to-order modular PC from Compulab. It provides a high level of customization and expandability for various use cases. The PC can be configured with a choice of CPU, memory, storage, and pre-installed operating system. Tensor-I22 can be extended with TEL (TEnsor ELlement) modules, which are extension cards that offer additional functionality and I/O. There are different types of TEL modules available, including Input/Output TELs, USB TELs, Networking TELs, Storage TELs, Extension TELs, and Power Modules.

Use Cases Examples

Industrial fanless PC powering robotic automation system with PLC wiring

Industrial Automation

The Tensor-I22 can be used in industrial automation with the TEL-CANBUS module, which supports CAN 2.0A specifications and ISO 11898-2. The TEL-SERX4 module can also be added for RS232/RS485 communication.

Traffic Control and Surveillance

The Tensor-I22 can power traffic control and camera operations with the TEL-POEX2 module, which adds gigabit Ethernet connectivity, and the TEL-DCIN module, which provides DC input for external power supply. This setup ensures reliable and efficient power for your critical surveillance and traffic management needs.

IoT Edge Computing

The Tensor-I22 can be used for IoT edge computing with the TEL-M2E module, which adds Wi-Fi connectivity, and the TEL-MINIPCIE module, which adds a mini PCIe socket with a SIM card tray and cellular connectivity.

Storage Solutions

The Tensor-I22 can be used as a storage solution with TEL-SATA1, which adds 2x 2.5″ SSD/HDD, and TEL-M.2 Key-M for NVMe, SATA, or AI modules, which add M.2 storage options.
