Saelig: Janz Tec's emPC-CXR system

Saelig Company Inc. has announced the availability of the emPC-CXR Rugged Embedded PC System from Janz Tec (Germany). The system is based on the GE Intelligent Platforms Rugged COM Express embedded processor modules that meet the extreme demands of temperature, moisture, size, shock and vibration.

Available in various configurations, the available processor types include the dual-core 1.7GHz Intel Core i7-3517UE with 4MB L2 cache, the dual-core 1.4GHz Intel Celeron 1047UE with 2MB L2 cache, and the Intel Panther Point PCH memory chipset.

The emPC-CXR Rugged Embedded PC System includes a number of moisture-proof interfaces, including two USB2.0 ports, a VGA port, a 9-34V power supply input, two M12 5-pin connectors for CAN or serial ports, as well as an SJA 1000 CAN controller. The CAN physical layer is logic-isolated, and the network termination is software selectable.

With all connectors mounted, the emPC-CXR has IP67 waterproof protection. The emPC-CXR is designed for an ambient operating temperature range from -40degC to 70degC, and its compact housing measures 10.6" x 7.9" x 3.2". For shock resistance, the emPC-CXR complies with IEC 60068-2-27, with vibration compliance to IEC 60068-2-64. The systems also meets DIN EN 50155 for electronic equipment used in railway rolling stock applications.

Supported operating systems include Windows Embedded Standard7 (WES7) and Linux (others by request) and the realtime environment Codesys SoftPLC can be preconfigured for individual applications.

"The long-term cooperation with GE Intelligent Platforms combined with our expertise in the field of embedded computer systems resulted in a product design for many rugged environments. This offers a robust and high-quality computing platform," said Michael Rennerich, Janz Tec's executive director.
