Product Overview

The fanless embedded PC CS-A55-BOX (PN: CS-RK3568-BOX) is a Cortex -A55 series high-

quality industrial PC. Thanks to the fanless design, it is stable and reliable in client terminal,

multimedia and other industry applications.

Key Applications

Industrial Automation

Process Control

Smart Grid Management

CNC Manufacturing

Environmental Monitoring

Predictive Maintenance

The oered CPU consumes very little power, around 4.35W (max). From the ground-up, the

CPU is built for low power consumption. As such, it is best suited for mobile and power-

constrained industrial or eld applications. A specially designed aluminum alloy housing

with ns for increased heat dissipation serves as a passive cooler, eliminating the need for

built-in fans. The fanless design reduces noise, as well as the maintenance costs and eorts,

leading to increased reliability at the same time.

The CS-A55-BOX Industrial PC is based around the powerful RK3568 System on Chip (SoC),

Cortex -A55 2.0GHz processor.

The RK3568 supports multi-format video decoders and has a high-performance 2GB

LPDDR4 RAM capable of sustaining demanding memory bandwidths. It also provides a

complete set of peripheral interfaces.
