IoT
One of the new challenges arising with the use of edge, fog, and cloud architectures is the connection of components to each other and to the public cloud. An important element of developing a solution capturing all pieces is the IoT framework susietec
At the field, or edge level, data is collected by industrial computers, e.g. by gateways, which process, filter, analyze and act on these data in real-time right at the device.
Edge, fog and cloud applications demand increasing computing power. The interfaces to sensors or machines often require non-standard solutions. Especially in smaller machines, space is limited or restricted in some dimension and need a special solution.
Today, the connection from the sensor device to the embedded cloud takes place via real-time data communication, on sensor and edge level - for example Industrial Ethernet or fieldbuses - and gateways , which provide the transformation of real time data into the informational area.

The Module Concept
E²BRAIN EMBEDDED PRODUCT LINE REDUCES DEVELOPMENT TIMES
With the two processor modules, EB860 and EB8245, Kontron is now introducing the first members of a new range of embedded products. The product line E²Brain - Embedded Electronic Brain - features a modular design and is open for all types of processor architectures, communications interfaces and I/O interfaces.
Until now it has been usual in the world of embedded computers that the user has to also develop a new processor core for each new device development, because the devices are normally different in terms of design and space relationships. By using the standardised E²Brain modules, the user can again concentrate fully on his actual task - the design of the device, development of the application software and the special features of the application.
The E²Brain modules with a form factor of 75x115 can be subdivided into two categories:
- Communication Engines: The processor cores, thirsty for communications, with numerous interfaces (Ethernet, serial interfaces with multi-protocol support, UTOPIA).
- Advanced Computer Cores: Processor cores featuring high computing power and a wide range of I/O.
The category of Communication Engines includes the E²Brain member, the EB860. It can accommodate all the Motorola MPC85X and MPC86X processors (PowerQUICC) and supports the complete range of interfaces. The user can therefore select the processor module specifically for the application without having to adapt the carrier module.
The second, already realised, E²Brain module EB8245 is equipped with the Motorola PowerPC MPC8245 (Kahlua2). This is a CPU of the average performance class which is suitable for low power applications, particularly in the real-time sector. The addition features, such as up to six serial interfaces, a Fast Ethernet interface, watchdog, RTC and a CAN interface, round off the module to give a universally applicable computer core.
The two E²Brain members, EB860 and EB8245, will be available from December 2002.
