While it ships standard with the Intel Pentium G3320TE processor (TwinCAT 3 Platform Level 50), it is field-compatible with upgrades to Intel Core i3, i5, or i7 processors. Note that changing the physical processor to a higher core count will alter the TwinCAT 3 run-time software license requirement (escalating the target system licensing to Platform Level 60, 70, or 80).

Ensure that a minimum clearance of 50 mm is maintained above and below the PC chassis to allow unobstructed airflow from the front intake. If utilizing standard hard disk configurations in high-vibration plants, consider upgrading to industrial-grade SSDs or configuring the on-board RAID 1 controller to prevent drive head damage and minimize system down-time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCommissioning \u0026amp; Wiring Tips\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #2d3748; margin-bottom: 1rem;\"\u003eFor jitter-free, real-time EtherCAT networks, bind one on-board Intel Ethernet port specifically to the TwinCAT Real-Time Ethernet Miniport Driver.
