Vecow has released its latest ECX-1200/1100 Series expandable fanless embedded system for a range of applications, including rolling stock.

Vecow ECX-1200/1100 Series expandable fanless embedded system has a fanless -40°C to 75°C operation temperature, workstation-grade system performance, system-oriented functions integration, flexible configurations, and rugged reliability.

It is a compact and flexible solution for edge computing, smart manufacturing, rolling stock, robotic control, traffic vision, deep learning and any real-time AIoT / Industry 4.0 applications.

The system is powered by workstation-grade six-core 8th generation Intel® Xeon® / Core™ i7 / i5 / i3 processor (Coffee Lake-S) with Intel® C246 chipset, Intel® UHD Graphics P630 / 630 supporting up to 4K resolution via DisplayPort, VGA and DVI-D interfaces, up to 64GB of two DDR4 memory.

It has excellent system performance embodied through USB 3.1 port (up to 10Gbps), PCIe 3.0 socket (8GT/s), SATA III socket (6Gbps) ideal for real-time seamless data transfer requirements, ECX-1200/1100 Series delivers 10% higher CPU and chipset performance over the embedded system based on Intel® Kaby Lake platform. More significantly, the figure of 200W power budget provided on PCIe / PCI slot is 125% higher than its predecessor.

Comprising six GigE LAN ports with four M12 IEEE 802.3at PoE+, ideal for space-constrained and harsh environments, two front-access 2.5in SSD trays, two SATA III guarded by software RAID 0, 1, the system has external SIM sockets enabling Wi-Fi / 4G / 3G / LTE / GPRS / UMTS seamless connectivity, six USB 3.1 sockets, four COM, PCIe / PCI slot with 200W power budget supported additional PoE+ card, PCI, 10GigE LAN, LAN Switch or LAN Bypass uses, M.2 and Mini PCIe expansions, 32 Isolated DIO.

It has 6V to 36V wide range power input with 80V surge protection, configurable ignition control, TPM 2.0 supported, EN50155 and EN50121-3-2 compliant, embodying optimal system-oriented integration.

Vecow embedded system and platform division product manager Hugh Hsu noted: “ECX-1200/1100 Series is designed for real-time, compact and rugged applications. It’s the Intel Coffee Lake rugged expandable Fanless embedded system hitting on the market for the first time.

“200W power budget available on PCIe x16 slot and 64GB of DDR4 memory are a leap from its predecessor. ECX-1200/1100 also equips with USB 3.1 Gen 2 socket, which allows maximum speed of 10 Gbit/s and offering powerful data transfer capability.”

Vecow sales and marketing division sales manager Joseph Huang said: “It’s exciting to announce this new member to 8th gen Intel Coffee Lake embedded product family. Now ECX-1200/1100 makes our Intel Coffee Lake embedded system series fully comprehensive and capable of meeting broader requirements.

“We’re always looking on the big picture and sticking to offering the rugged embedded systems for use in the fast-growing AIoT-related market. ECX-1200/1100 Series has gone live and is accepting orders.”

Armed with workstation-grade system performance, system-oriented functions integration, flexible configurations, smart manageability and rugged reliability, Vecow ECX-1200/1100 Series expandable fanless embedded system is your rugged and compact solutions for edge computing, smart manufacturing, rolling stock, robotic control, traffic vision, deep learning and any real-time AIoT / Industry 4.0 sectors.
