Rafi
Control unit for touchscreens and control panels
Rafi offers touchscreens and control panels from the Glasscape range for industrial applications, for which the company uses embedded control units (ECU) from its own production.
Previously, there was a choice of four ECU platforms in the Eco-ECU, Balance-ECU, Power-ECU and Ultimate-ECU performance classes. Now the Xtreme-ECU variant has been added, which is based on the x86-based 'Elkhart Lake' platform with a processor from Intel's Atom x6000E series. According to the manufacturer Rafi , the features of this chip architecture optimized for industrial applications include its low power consumption, which enables fanless operation, suitability for the extended temperature range of -40 to +85 °C and support for standard operating systems such as Ubuntu, Debian or Windows. This reduces the effort required for application-related software implementation compared to the previous ARM-based ECU versions. HTML5 applications can also be executed on the system.
