Compact DIN-rail mounted fanless in-vehicle IoT Gateway
Impulse Embedded has announced availability of the UST210-83K-FL, a new compact DIN-rail fanless in-vehicle Box-PC powered by the Intel® Atom® x5-E3940 processor (codename: Apollo Lake-I). The Axiomtek UST210-83K-FL IoT gateway has been specifically designed for in-vehicle applications such as vehicle controls, fleet monitoring, management systems and in-vehicle edge computing and is compatible with Windows®10 and Linux Ubuntu 18.04.
The flexible in-vehicle IoT gateway provides secure bi-directional communications and is aimed at many vehicle-based applications including public transport and shuttle buses, police cars, ambulances, commercial vehicles and heavy-duty trucks. The UST210-83K-FL is very cost-effective and its fanless design removes acoustic noise while increasing reliability.
The DIN-Rail or wall mountable ruggedised in-vehicle embedded system features front-accessible I/O ports for easy access and maintenance and a Smart Ignition function for power on/off scheduling to protect vehicle battery. The in-vehicle Box-PC complies with ISO 7637-2 and can endure vibration of up to 3 Grms, ensuring stable and reliable operation under challenging environmental conditions.
The UST210-83K-FL can operate over a wide temperature range from -40 to +70°C and it passes MIL-STD-810G shock and vibration resistance certifications to ensure reliable operation when traveling on poor road conditions. It has a wide input voltage range from 9- to 36-V DC to accommodate most vehicle types and is CE and FCC certified. It supports COM, CAN, USB, PoE and SocketCAN as well as 8-bit programmable DIO and AMS.AXView intelligent remote monitoring.
Robert Plant, Sales Director at Impulse Embedded, comments, “An embedded IoT system now plays a critical role in vehicles of all types, providing communications, connectivity and edge processing power. Axiomtek’s UST210-83K-FL offers not only rich I/O but also Smart Ignition power control to fulfil a variety of in-vehicle compute requirements.”
The cost-effective UST210-83K-FL has one DDR3L-1866 SO-DIMM slot with a maximum of 8GB of system memory. Combining flexible configuration and easy expansion design, the fanless embedded system supports an array of functional I/O ports, including two COM ports or one COM port and one CANBus 2.0 A/B port supporting SocketCAN, one HDMI port, four RJ-45 Gigabit PoE ports or four RJ-45 Gigabit LAN ports (with Intel® Ethernet Controller I211-AT), two USB 3.0 ports, one DB9 8-bit programmable DIO port and four antenna openings. It also has one full-size PCI Express Mini Card slot (USB interface with SIM socket) and one half-size PCI Express Mini Card slot (mSATA/USB interface) for a wide selection of modules. A half-size mSATA occupied with its PCI Express Mini Card slot and an internal 2.5-inch SATA drive are available for additional storage.
This flexible IoT gateway is compatible with Windows®10. It supports Axiomtek’s exclusive AXView software to fulfil the requirement of remote monitoring and features Trusted Platform Module 2.0 (TPM 2.0) to ensure critical information security.
