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.

Services
Diamond Point International can provide a complete design service based around Kontron’s COM Express® modules. We have latest Cadence® design and verification tools enabling us to carry very complex designs, including additional FPGA’s, multiple Ethernet, Serial, Mini PCI express, Digital & analogue IO, also we can introduce new processor technology to re invigorate old but proven designs. We have a keen understanding for designing product for very harsh mechanical and electrical environments with over 3000 systems already delivered into the rail industry and over 2000 systems into military projects. DPI compliment this service with expert knowledge, in the design of power supplies to power our systems, be it AC, DC isolated or to military or transport standard, we have probably already done it.
DPI also have a very experienced packaging team using SolidWorks® design tools we can design enclosures that will fit our customers exact needs and also provide conduction cooling to eliminate the need for cooling fans also adding industrial grade SSD’s for complete high reliability wide temperature solid state solutions.
D2250 ETX® (Customisable baseboard)
This ETX® backplane offers a low cost backplane for use with the Kontron ETX® range of PC modules. The board has a PC/104 socket for expansion modules. This board was designed for a customer for use with the now obsolete ETX-P1 but will work with any ETX® CPU module.
Key Features

- Highly customised
- Standard PC ports
- PC/104 socket for expansion
- 5V only needed
Board Details
Available sockets are PS/2 keyboard and mouse, vga, parallel port, USB, serial, IDE, floppy, flat panel and sound. As this board was custom made, it can be modified to any specification.D2373 DIMM-PC®
This DIMM-PC® backplane offers a backplane solution for use with the Kontron DIMM-PC® range of PC modules. The board has a socket for a DIMM-PC® CPU module and a socket for a DIMM-I/O module (underneath the board). See DIMM-PC® section for more info on these cards.
Key Features
- Compact DIMM-PC® backplane
- Highly customised
- Standard PC ports
- PC/104 socket for expansion
- DC input
Board Details
Available sockets are DC voltage input (7 - 24V input range), VGA out and Ethernet. The board has headers for floppy, IDE, 4 COM ports, keyboard/reset and parallel port. The board has jumpers onboard to select either RS-232, RS-422 or RS-486 operation for all COM ports. The board was designed for a customer who needed a PC based solution in a compact space but for use with a PC/104 I/O board.D2426 X-board®
The D2426 X-board® baseboard is a baseboard designed for a customer to go with the Kontron X-board®-<861> module. Also works with the X-board®- module.

D2473 ETX®
The D2473 ETX® is a specially designed ETX® carrier board. The ETX module is fitted to the underside of the PCB. The underside of the PCB has no connectors which allows easy fitment of the assembly to an external heatsink or cold plate. All standard ETX® interfaces (apart from the LVDS) are brought out to standard PC type connectors or headers. Two additional COM ports are available which can be configured as either RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 (i.e. in addition to the two standard serial ports that the RS-232ETX provide, which have been implemented as RS-232. Storage is provided via dual IDE headers. A Compact Flash socket is hard wired to one of these sockets.

D2511 ETX®
The D2511 ETX® is a specially designed ETX® carrier board for one of our customers. The customer had a requirement for a system which could monitor some inputs and indicate to a central PC (via TCP) of certain conditions. Prototyping was done using off the shelf PC/104 modules (Kontron MOPSlcdLX CPU module and Tri-M R-104 I/O module). Due to the amount of wiring required for this particular configuration, an ETX® solution was chosen for production units. The advantage of the ETX® route is simple: In most cases, it means that no wiring is required - just plug the ETX® module to the carrier board along with cooling module and thats it. Wiring is an extremely time consuming process. Wiring also contributes EMC issues. ETX® allows easier heat removal via the uniform ETX® heatspreader. ETX® allows customer specific I/O ETX® allows customer specific connectors to be used
Key Features
- designed to fit in an off the shelf aluminium box
- heatspreader made direct contact with the box
- heat dissipation to the box
Board Details
- Compact ETX carrier board
- Takes all Kontron ETX modules
- Two RS-232 ports
- Keyboard/mouse socket
- Ethernet
- Customer specific circuitry
- Compact flash socket
