MSC Technologies presents fanless embedded system for Industry 4.0 applications
Stutensee, 26.11.2015 (PresseBox) - MSC Technologies, a business unit of Avnet, Inc. (NYSE: AVT), presents the EN-A3 embedded system which operates throughout the complete temperature range from 0° - 45° C without requiring a fan. The robust industrial computer is suited for reliably 24/7 applications and is almost maintenance-free even in a dusty environment.
As low-cost entry-level model, the box PC is ideal for a wide range of Industry 4.0 applications e.g. as gateway or as display control. Important characteristics, such as fault tolerance, real-time capability and time synchronization, are defined exactly as part of the Quality of Services (QoS) for all Industry 4.0 components. Thus, the Intel® I210IT Dual Gbit Ethernet controller integrated in the EN-A3 is IEEE1588 (Precision Time Protocol, PTP)-conform; this means that the time-of-day inaccuracy is less than 1 ms and so allows the controller to be used for measuring and control systems.
The compact EN-A3 embedded system integrates as standard a mini-ITX board with the quad-core Intel® Atom™ E3845 processor with 1.91 GHz clock and integrated 2 MB cache. Alternatively, the box IPC can be equipped with the dual-core Intel® Atom™ E3826 processor (1.46 GHz) or the single-core E3814 (1.46 GHz). The processor integrates the high-performance Intel® HD graphics. The fast DDR3 RAM main memory can be expanded to a maximum capacity of 8 GB.
Despite its compact construction of 200 x 200 x 51 mm, the EN-A3 provides many popular interfaces: two GigaBit LANs, one USB 3.0 and four USB 2.0, four serial connections, audio and an internal Serial ATA interface for a SATA II 300 device. The system is equipped with three graphics outputs VGA, DVI-D and DisplayPort (DP) whereas two outputs can be used in parallel.
For data storage, the industrial computer includes a mSATA SSD (Solid State Drive) that does not have any moving parts and avoids the need for extensive wiring. The CPU board offers internally two mini PCI Express™ x1 slots, where one slot can be chosen as mini PCI Express™ x1 or mSATA. As an option, the system can also be equipped with a 2.5 inch SSD.
The EN-A3 embedded system is available in a high-quality housing in any required color, also with company logo. The scope of supply includes mounting rails and optionally a wall-mounting bracket or a DIN rail-mounting. The box IPC provides a 12/24 VDC wide-range power input and an external 100 - 240 VAC power pack.
