Logic Supply has previewed its upcoming ML100 ultra-small form factor industrial PC, combining the compact power of Intel’s NUC platform with a ruggedised enclosure. In addition to taking advantage of the latest generation Intel Broadwell processors, one of the ML100 models will feature dual LAN connectivity, a feature often requested by NUC system integrators previously limited to one LAN port.

The ML100 will launch with two distinct models, the ML100G-10 and ML100G-30. Prices will start at around $500.

The ML100G-10 is powered by an Intel Quad Core Bay Trail Celeron N2930 processor, running at 1.83GHz (Turbo up to 2.16GHz). The system will support up to 8GB of DDR3L RAM and up to 1TB of mSATA solid state storage. Front I/O includes USB 2.0, USB 3.0 and an RS232/422/485 COM port. Rear I/O features the dual Gb LAN ports, two USB 2.0, two HDMI and an optional Terminal Block Power connector with remote switch.

The ML100G-30 features the Intel Dual Core Broadwell i3 (2.1GHz) and i5 (2.3GHz, Turbo up to 2.9GHz) processors. Memory options include up to 16GB of DDR3L RAM while integrated M.2 support allows for up to 512GB of SSD storage. Two USB 3.0, RS232/422/485 COM and an audio port are available on the front panel, with Gb LAN, two USB 3.0 and two Mini DisplayPort standard on the rear of the system. The ML100-30 can also be configured with optional DIO and Terminal Block Power with remote switch capabilities.

“The ML100 is designed to take the NUC places it’s never been,” said Hans Brakeley, Supply Engineer, Logic Supply “In creating the ML100 we wanted to highlight what’s made the NUC so successful, its impressive size to performance ratio, and incorporate the features that make Logic Supply computers so unique, their proven industrial reliability. The result is a small form factor industrial PC that’s powerful, energy efficient and specifically engineered to stand up to the dust, harsh environments, shock and vibration that our commercial clients face on a daily basis. It also doesn’t hurt that it looks so good.”
