New Line of Embedded Computers for Long-Life Applications

New Line of Embedded Computers from Emerson Network Power Offer Fast, Cost-effective and Lower Risk Solutions - Emerson Network Power's new line of embedded computers are Ideal for digital signage, security and surveillance, intelligent kiosks, industrial and medical applications.

Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson and the global leader in enabling Business-Critical Continuity™, today announced a new portfolio of embedded computers for a range of applications including digital signage, intelligent kiosks, industrial control, traffic management, medical clinical instruments, and digital security and surveillance. Based on the latest Intel® processors, these integrated box computers are designed for long-life applications requiring zero or minimum maintenance.

Emerson Network Power is offering two classes of embedded computers: the KR8 and MCASE series. The KR8 series includes small, fanless, metal cased solutions that are designed to be mounted to a screen or instrument. These are noiseless, maintenance-free embedded computers that are available in both standard and extended operating temperature ranges. The MCASE series is designed to be very cost effective with some expansion capability. These are typically supplied in an air-cooled plastic enclosure with mounting options, for operation in an environment of zero to 35 degrees Celsius.

New XMC Module is Cost-optimized for Embedded Computing Tasks

New XMC Module with Configurable Spartan-6 FPGA Targets Cost-Sensitive Embedded Computing Tasks - Acromag’s new XMC module employs Xilinx’s cost-optimized Spartan-6 FPGA to help engineers with tight budget and time constraints solve high-speed DSP, logic, and algorithm computing challenges.

To address the need for low-cost configurable FPGA computing solutions, Acromag released new XMC-SLX mezzanine modules featuring an economical Xilinx® Spartan®-6 FPGA. These thrifty XMC modules still provide plenty of computing power for custom signal processing and algorithm acceleration with the FPGA’s integrated DSP, logic, and memory resources.

The Spartan-6 FPGA’s logic structure also leverages the premium-performance Virtex FPGA platform’s architecture and system-level blocks for faster, easier and more compatible development. Acromag supports the FPGA with a high-throughput PCIe interface, generous memory, and convenient access to field I/O signals. Typical uses include hardware simulation, in-circuit diagnostics, communications, signal intelligence, and image processing. Pricing starts at $2895 with options for extra memory and extended temperature operation.

New 3.5inch Embedded Motherboard for Intel N450/ D510 Processor Range

3.5inch Embedded Single Board Computer with N450/D510 Intel Atom - Review Display Systems Ltd introduces a new compact industrial Computer ideal for applications where system space is at a premium.

Review Display Systems Ltd have introduced a new compact industrial motherboard based around Intel’s new N450/ D510 processor range.

The 3.5inch subcompact format board offers a comprehensive range of features aimed at industrial designers working on applications where space is at a premium. The Gene-LN05 can accommodated up to 2GB of DDR2 667/800 SODIMM , has two Gigabit Ethernet ports, 18bit LVDS or VGA output to drive a display and onboard resistive touch screen controller.

The N450 1.6Ghz processor option allows the board to operate fan less with just a passive heat sink where the D510 does require a fan to cool it.

The LN05 also has 2 Channel HD audio, two SATA 2 interface ports, seven USB 2.0 ports and six COM ports making it ideal for control and monitoring applications. Operation is from a 5 or 12V dc source.

The overall board size is just 146mm x 102mm, and system expansion
