Compact DIN-rail fanless in-vehicle Box-PC released

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 nine volts to 36V 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, said: “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” SATA drive are available for additional storage. This flexible IoT gateway is compatible with Windows10.

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.
