The Advantech MIC-78M40-01 is a 4-slot expansion i-Module designed to significantly extend the PCIe capability of MIC-78 Series modular IPCs in edge compute, machine vision, and industrial control deployments. This model offers four PCIe slots in a 4-slot chassis: PCIe x8, PCIe x2, PCIe x8, and PCIe x4, supporting multi-card configurations for advanced I/O, multiple interfaces, and modular acceleration where a single add-on card isn’t enough.
As part of the MIC-78 i-Module Series, MIC-78M40-01 supports flexible expansion via PCIe/PCI and aligns with the platform’s power and thermal readiness. The series reserves additional 12VDC power via an onboard connector and supports up to 85W add-on card power consumption, helping maintain stability when multiple cards are installed and the system is under sustained load. Optional system fans with Smart Fan capability are supported to better control heat generated by add-on cards, especially when card power exceeds 45W.
Storage expansion is another key advantage. MIC-78M40-01 supports internal HDD/SSD installation for up to 2x 2.5-inch 15mm drives, making it suitable for data-heavy edge applications such as video capture, inspection archives, and local buffering.
If you need a scalable, multi-card PCIe expansion module that can support both performance and storage growth in a single industrial chassis, MIC-78M40-01 is a strong 4-slot i-Module option for MIC-78 Series modular IPCs.
