The Advantech MIC-78M11 is a 2-slot expansion i-Module for MIC-78 Series modular IPCs that blends modern PCIe expansion with legacy PCI compatibility, making it ideal for industrial deployments that must support both new and installed-base add-on cards. MIC-78M11 includes one PCIe x16 slot and one PCI slot, enabling you to integrate a high-bandwidth PCIe card alongside a legacy PCI card such as established motion, serial, or industrial interface boards still used across many control environments.
Like the wider MIC-78 i-Module Series, MIC-78M11 is designed for practical industrial integration. The series supports PCIe speeds up to Gen5 at the platform level and includes an additional 12VDC power source via an onboard connector for cards that need more power than slot delivery alone, with up to 85W supported for add-on card power consumption. This supports stable deployments where add-on cards are a core part of system function, not an afterthought.
Thermals are addressed through optional system fan support with Smart Fan control, especially recommended when installed cards exceed 45W power consumption to maintain reliability over long duty cycles.
Storage expansion is supported through SATA and power available on the i-Module backplane, and the MIC-780 ecosystem supports additional drive planning depending on configuration and kits.
For users modernising an industrial PC while retaining essential PCI-based hardware, MIC-78M11 offers a clean bridge between legacy compatibility and high-speed PCIe expansion.
