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.

ThinkIO-P: Kontron's Fanless Rack-Mount PC With Intel® Pentium® M Processor
Master of the DIN Rail
Ulm, Germany, 27 September, 2005 - With ThinkIO-P, Kontron Industrial Control (a division of Kontron Applications) introduces a new class of powerful modular rack-mount flat PCs (depth of 70 mm) that can fit into any control cabinet on the market. The system is completely enclosed and fanless; it can be equipped with processors ranging from a 600MHz Intel® Mobile Celeron processor with 64KB L1/0KB L2 cache up to a 1.4GHz Intel® Pentium® M processor, making it considerably faster than its little brother, which takes an Intel® Pentium® MMX-compatible processor. The ThinkIO-P features an industrial-strength connection system for the smart terminals on the highly granular Wago I/O System 750 and 753, which offer the user flexible, application-specific I/O configuration. Key applications for the ThinkIO-P are in industrial machinery and mid to high-complexity system controllers.
The passively cooled ThinkIO-P is built into a robust aluminum housing and offers not only high computing power and direct connection with the Wago I/O System but also up to 1 GB of RAM, up to 1 GB Flash, 1-2 MB of battery-buffered RAM, a customizable CompactFlash card and standard PC interfaces (2 x USB, DVI analog and digital, 1 x serial). 2 independent Fast Ethernet interfaces that include routing/bridging for daisy chaining, 2 optoisolated digital I/Os (24 V DC) and optional field buses (Profibus, CAN or DeviceNet interfaces) offer optimal control for both state-of-the-art and classic industrial networks and can also perform gateway and firewall functions for vertical integration. User interfaces up to 30 meters (nearly 100 feet) away can be connected to the system via an optional Long-Distance HMI. Support is currently provided for Windows XP Embedded and Linux operating systems, and a watchdog timer and a real-time clock round out the feature set.
Connection of the Wago I/O System 750/753 is simple: once plugged in, an I/O module is automatically recognized by the system. In just a few steps, a customized open control platform can be created. This control platform is also available as an IEC 61131-3-compliant soft PLC. Options for an OPC server and/or WebServer are available.
The ThinkIO-P will be available in December 2005. Thanks to our use of exclusively Intel embedded processors, we are able to guarantee long-term availability of the overall solution.
