July 23, 2013 - AAEON released the AEC-6401 Compact Embedded Controller with energy efficient Intel Atom N2600 1.60GHz processor and Intel NM10 Chipset. System Integrators in fields of factory/machine automation, digital signage, home automation and environment surveillance will appreciate this controller’s highly-efficient design, which allows up to 2GB of DDR3 1066 SDRAM, a 12V DC power input, four USB 2.0, and one Gigabit Ethernet, one RS-232 COM and two RS-232/422/485 serial connectivity through RJ-45 connectors. In addition, there is an option for wireless network connectivity.
The anti-vibration solid brushed aluminum enclosure is also highly attractive and light-weight and measures at only 125mm x 77mm in size, while still being able to provide ample component protection against harsh environments and temperatures ranging from -20°C ~ 50°C (-4°F ~ 122°F), with passive heat dissipation and airflow. The AEC-6401 also has rich data gathering features via its mini-SATA connection for high speed, solid-state data storage functionality, enabling analysis data or immersive High-Definition multimedia information to be output through its mini HDMI link. Installing this diminutive controller is also made easier with Din-Rail and standard VESA mounting set-up options and as a result, is able to fit in almost any panel design available today.
Overall, this ultra-compact fanless controller is an ideal option for those looking to obtain the maximum industrial computing performance in one of the smallest and most durable enclosures on the market today. The AEC-6401 supports most common operating systems such as Windows XP, Windows 7, WES7E and Linux Fedora.
