The machine vision system EMS-SKLU-GPIO from Avalue was specially designed for use in Smart Factory applications. The system is available with integrated Intel®Core™ SoC i7/i5/i3/Celeron BGA processors of the 6th generation so that the computing power can be flexibly selected according to the specific customer requirements. The 260-pin SODIMM socket allows the RAM to be expanded up to 16GB DDR4 and 2,133MHz SDRAM.

To continue the flexibility approach, the system has extensive interfaces. In addition to 2x USB 3.0, 1x USB 2.0, 2x RS232 / 422/485, a 44bit GPIO is available as a multi-device connection - of which 32bit has 1.5kV isolation. EMS-SKLU-GPIO also offers 6x LAN connections, of which 4x LANs have mastered the PoE standard 802.3af (PSE). The latter are specially designed for the operation of IP cameras with a total output of 60W. A mini PCIe slot and M.2 (b-key) are available for system expansion.

Fanless operation in a robust metal housing is possible in a temperature range from -20°C to +50°C. The device has protection class IP50 and is suitable for installation on DIN rail systems. The operating voltage range is 9V to 32V. M.2, memory and mini PCIe modules are easy to install via a dedicated service window. Displays are controlled at a maximum resolution of 4,096 x 2,304 via the Intel® Skylake SoC integrated Graphics chipset. Intel® iAMT 11.0, TPM2.0, Turbo Boost technology, vPro and Wake on LAN are supported.
