Advantech has put Intel’s Atom x7211RE at the center of an industrial PC measuring only 100 x 70 x 40mm.
Called UNO-2271G V3, its dual-core processor is supported by 8Gbyte of LPDDR5 ram, plus options of 64Gbyte eMMC non-volatile storage and an M.2 B+M key 2242 (SATA/PCIe) slot.
Windows 11 LTSC or Ubuntu 22.04 are the favoured operating systems.
Standard interfaces include 2x Ethernet (10/100/1000/2500BASE-T, RJ45), HDMI 1.4 (1,920 x 1,080 60Hz), USB 3.2 Gen2 and a USB Type C (1.5A, supports DP & USB, DP ALT).
TPM2.0 (Library Reversion 1.38) hardware security is standard.
A series of plug-on under-slung 100 x 70 x 30mm expansion pods are available to add further interfaces:
UNO-2271G-RS2EB (left) adds 2x COM ports (RS-232/422/485), an M.2 (B key) slot for SATA/USB 3.0 signals for LTE, a nano SIM slot, and an M.2 (E key) slot for PCIe/USB 2.0 signals for Wi-Fi.
UNO-2271G-RP1EB adds 2x COM ports (RS-232/422/485), Power-over-Ethernet (802.3at, 25.5W max), an M.2 (B key) slot for SATA/USB 3.0 signals for LTE and a nano SIM slot.
UNO-2271G-EKDE is a host for one of the company’s seven ‘iDoor’ modules that offer combinations of interfaces including isolated RS-422/485, various M.2 slots, DB9 or DB37 connectors, 24-channel isolated digital IO and Gigabit Ethernet.
Standard physical mounting hardware are a pair of screw-on tabs that take the 100mm dimension out to 124mm and add four mounting holes (both photos). Beyond this are optional VESA and DIN rail mounts.
Power requirements are 10 – 30Vdc, typically needing 12W (40W max). Heatsinking is built in and operation is over -20 to +60°C.
“The device enables diverse industrial applications from equipment connectivity to process visualisation and environment management, addressing the demands of Industry 4.0 for real-time analytics,” according to Advantech.
