What is the Avalue RPC-21VX?

The RPC-21VX is a 21.5" ARM-based panel PC from Avalue's RPC series. It combines a Rockchip RK3576 processor, a 1920 x 1080 projective capacitive multi-touch display, an IP65 rated whole system and Android 14, in a fanless design intended for kiosks, terminals and industrial HMI use.

Which processor does the RPC-21VX use?

It uses a Rockchip RK3576 with a quad-core Cortex-A53 plus a quad-core Cortex-A72 CPU arrangement. Graphics are handled by the Mali-G52 MC3 GPU. This is an ARM platform, so it runs Android 14 rather than Windows or desktop Linux builds.

What display does the RPC-21VX have?

A 21.5" panel with 1920 x 1080 resolution, 0.248 x 0.248 mm pixel pitch, 1,000 contrast ratio and 1,400 cd/m2 luminance. The backlight is rated at 50,000 hours. The glass is anti-glare etched, and the touch front is listed as IK08.

What type of touch screen does it use?

It uses projective capacitive (PCAP) multi-touch supporting up to 10 touch points. The front glass is anti-glare etched and the display is listed with IK08 protection, so it suits public or busy locations where a durable touch front is needed.

How much memory and storage does the RPC-21VX have?

It has 4GB of onboard RAM and 32GB of onboard eMMC storage. The RAM is soldered on, so the specification does not offer a memory upgrade. Extra storage can be added through the internal M.2 key-M connector.

Can I add an SSD to the RPC-21VX?

Yes. The internal I/O lists one M.2 key-M connector intended for an M.2 SSD, in addition to the 32GB onboard eMMC. Please confirm the exact SSD size and interface requirements with TSL before ordering, as the specification does not list further details.

What external ports are available?

The external I/O lists 1 x USB Type-C, 1 x USB Type-A, 1 x RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet port, 1 x HDMI output, 1 x DC jack for power and an air vent opening. A power button is the only listed control button on the system.

What Ethernet does the RPC-21VX offer?

It has one RJ45 port using a Realtek RTL8211FI-CG LAN chipset, compatible with 10/100/1000 Base-Tx Gigabit Ethernet. The specification lists a single LAN port and does not list Powered LAN, so power is supplied through the DC jack.

Does the RPC-21VX support Wi-Fi and Bluetooth?

Wireless is optional. The specification lists optional Wi-Fi 802.11 ax/ac/a/b/g/n and optional Bluetooth 5.0. If you need wireless, specify it when ordering through TSL so the correct configuration is quoted and supplied.

Which operating system does it run?

The RPC-21VX supports Android 14. The specification lists no other operating system, so applications should be Android based. If your software depends on Windows, a different Avalue x86 panel PC would be the better choice and TSL can advise.

What is the operating temperature range?

The operating temperature is 0°C ~ 50°C (32°F ~ 122°F) and storage temperature is -20°C ~ 60°C (-4°F ~ 140°F). Operating humidity is 20 to 80% RH. The system is fanless, so it has no moving cooling parts.

What IP rating does the RPC-21VX have?

The whole system is listed as IP65, which covers dust ingress protection and protection against water jets. The front display is also listed with IK08 impact protection. Check installation conditions with TSL if the unit will face washdown or harsh outdoor exposure.

How is the RPC-21VX powered?

It takes 12V DC through a DC jack. The supplied adapter accepts 100 ~ 240Vac at 50 ~ 60Hz and outputs 60W (12V at 5A). The power mode is AT/ATX with AT as the default, so it can start automatically when power is applied.

The packing list contains 1 x RPC-21VX and 1 x 12V/5A adapter. Optional Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, or an M.2 SSD, are not listed in the packing list, so please confirm any extras with TSL when placing your order.

What are the size and weight of the RPC-21VX?

The dimensions are 542.7 x 334.2 x 71.5 mm (W x L x H) and the weight is 5.1 kg. Both front and rear construction are metal with powder coating. Use these figures when planning enclosure space or a mounting surface.

How can the RPC-21VX be mounted?

The specification we hold does not list a mounting method or bracket options. Please contact TSL Automation Solutions with your installation need, such as panel, wall or arm mounting, and we will confirm the available options with Avalue.

Which applications suit the RPC-21VX?

Its large touch display, IP65 whole system and fanless design suit self-service kiosks, ordering and information terminals, industrial HMI, digital signage and machine-side operator stations. The Android 14 platform fits applications built for Android touch interfaces.

Is the RPC-21VX suitable for dusty or wet areas?

The IP65 rating applies to the whole system, which indicates protection against dust and water jets. It is rated for 0°C ~ 50°C operation. For specific environments such as food processing or outdoor use, share the conditions with TSL for a suitability check.

Does the RPC-21VX have a cooling fan?

No. It is listed as fanless operation from 0°C ~ 50°C. Fanless designs avoid moving parts that can wear out or draw in dust, which helps with long-term reliability in industrial and public installations.

How does the RPC-21VX compare with the RPC-15WT?

Both use a Rockchip RK3576 family ARM platform with a Mali-G52 MC3 GPU and 1920 x 1080 PCAP touch. The RPC-21VX has a larger 21.5" screen, 32GB eMMC, an IP65 whole system and an M.2 key-M slot. The RPC-15WT is a 15.6" desktop unit with 64GB eMMC.

Which should I pick, the RPC-21VX or the RPC-15WT?

Choose the RPC-21VX when you need a larger 21.5" display, IP65 protection and M.2 SSD expansion. Choose the RPC-15WT for a compact countertop terminal with an ergonomic oblique stand, Powered LAN and a microphone array. TSL can help match either one to your project.

Is the RPC-21VX available now?

The product is currently listed as Coming Soon. Please contact TSL Automation Solutions for expected availability, pricing and lead times in India, and to register your project requirements so we can confirm the configuration you need.

Does TSL supply and support the RPC-21VX in India?

Yes. TSL Automation Solutions is an authorised India distributor of Avalue industrial computers and supplies and supports the RPC-21VX. For warranty terms, technical help and after-sales support, contact the TSL team with your model and project details.
