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.

Lowest power consumption with ETX® 3.0 Long Term Support.

The ETX®-LX2 (Embedded Technology eXtended) is a highly integrated and fast Computer-on-Module with extreme low power consumption. It allows, due to the used AMD® LX800 processor, the usage of the board without active cooling in applications, where space limitations (the maximum height without heat sink is only 10 mm!) are major requirements.

On the small dimension of 95 x 114 mm ETX®-LX2 offers all standard interfaces such as sound, 2x SATA, 4x USB 2.0 ports, graphic. The AC'97 compatible sound chip is supported by most operating systems.

For networking purposes the ETX®-LX2 comes with a 10/100 MBit Ethernet controller. A CompactFlash™ socket is already mounted on the EXT®-LX2 and offers you a lot of possibilities. For further expansions two PATA ports with UDMA66 capabilities are available. They do not provide the PCI bus only, the ISA bus signals are also available. A lot of existing ISA boards can still be used via an ISA slot on a baseboard. This avoids expensive redesigns and well proven ISA cards to PCI versions for standard PC motherboards.
