The topic of the cloud is also making great strides in the factory environment. Computer&AUTOMATION presents the latest products from the 'Cloud in Industry' sector in a series of images.
Adlink is launching a controller with an IoT gateway onto the market. The computing power of the MXE-210 is provided by an Intel Atom x7-E3950/x5-E3930 processor (codenamed Apollo Lake-I). The hardware includes a DisplayPort, two USB 2.0 and two USB 3.0 ports, two GbE ports, two COM ports (RS232/422/485), two mPCIe slots, a USIM slot, an mSATA and a SATA III interface as well as a micro SD slot. The system is suitable for both top-hat rail and wall mounting. Support for mic-in and line-out, eight potential-free DIs with interrupt, eight potential-free DOs and two additional COM ports are available as options. The series supports security measures such as TPM 2.0, Intel Boot Guard and UEFI secured boot. Third-party manufacturers are supported via compliance with numerous industry standards - such as Modbus, Ethercat, DDS, MQTT and Canopen by Vortex Edge Connect as well as Wi-Fi, BT, LoRa, 3G and 4G LTE for data communication and wireless transmission. As a controller, the device uses the same protocols to communicate with industrial devices and manage them directly. The device's extended temperature range of -40 to +85 °C makes it well suited for harsh operating environments such as industrial automation, transportation, agriculture and water management, as well as smart city applications.
