Avalue Technology has launched the EMS-CDV-Marine IEC EN60945 certified, marine embedded system for maritime applications such as control rooms, integrated bridge systems, propulsion controls or safety systems. Designed with high reliability and low maintenance, EMS-CDV-Marine is a powerful and versatile embedded system featured with a range of graphics, I/O extension flexibility and robust designs to provide configurability to meet a range of maritime applications with the marine certification approval.

EMS-CDV-Marine is equipped with an onboard Intel Atom D2550 1.86GHz CPU to provide low power consumption and avoid possible malfunction caused by vibration or shock. Six COM (four with 2.5kV Isolated Protection), two PCIe slots and five USBs provides flexibility of expansion. 1x12-bit GPI/O connector allows users easy to define and connect various devices to fit applications. Front access swappable hard drive and SIM card slot provide ease of operation and convenience.

To get into maritime applications, EMS-CDV-Marine follows marine standards and is IEC EN609445 certified. This system is no problem to operate continuously under critical conditions, including shock, vibration, wide operation temperature and wide power input. With IEC609445 certification, EMS-CDV-Marine guarantees a well functional system under high humidity, strong sunshine and provides high resistance of oil and corrosion.

The system is slim and compact design to save more space and be more adoptable on ships or boats. Its aluminium extrusion and heavy-duty steel chassis are given to provide strong and solid construction for well system protection. To increase the stability and durability, this compact system is fanless operation and is able to be smoothly functional under harsh temperature conditions and temperatures from -10 to +60°C. To deal with the possibility of power instability and increase the flexibility of installation, EMS-CDV-Marine accepts a wide range power input from 10 to 27.5V (-10/+30%). Furthermore, this system comes with mounting brackets for easy installations and being firmly fixed.

The maintenance somehow could be critical on ships and boats. To make the maintenance the lowest, our design team keeps the usage of the moving parts as less as possible, such as adoption of onboard CPU, fanless operation and cable-less design. Therefore, EMS-CDV-Marine is able to provide exceptional reliability and simplify maintenance procedures. Furthermore, the front accessible hard disk and SIM card slot deliver the convenience for maintenance, upgrade and displacement.
