The Advantech MIC-78M20-01 is a 2-slot expansion i-Module for MIC-78 Series modular IPCs designed for users who need dual high-lane PCIe expansion in a compact, scalable format. This model provides two PCIe x8 slots, making it an ideal fit for industrial systems that require two performance-oriented expansion cards without moving to a larger 4-slot enclosure. Typical use cases include multi-interface machine vision builds, motion control plus high-speed I/O combinations, and modular industrial PCs where determinism and bandwidth matter.
As part of the MIC-78 i-Module Series, MIC-78M20-01 supports flexible PCIe/PCI expansion and aligns with the platform’s power and thermal strategy. The series reserves additional 12VDC power via an onboard connector for cards that require more than slot power alone and supports up to 85W add-on card power consumption, helping maintain reliable operation in demanding edge deployments.
To help manage heat generated by add-on cards, the MIC-78 platform supports optional system fans with Smart Fan capability, with guidance to add the fan when card power exceeds 45W for improved thermal control.
Storage expansion is supported via the i-Module backplane’s SATA and power provisioning, and the wider MIC-780 storage approach enables additional drive support across the system depending on configuration and installed kits.
If you need a compact two-card PCIe expansion path with dual x8 connectivity for industrial edge workloads, MIC-78M20-01 is a strong, modular upgrade for MIC-78 Series systems.
