Avalue EMS-EHL modular embedded system series

Avalue Technology Inc. has launched the industrial-control-grade EMS-EHL modular embedded system series, a flexible scalability solution that combines standardised embedded systems and the intelligent expansion technology (IET). It accommodates dynamic market needs with an adaptive approach that facilitates fast deployment of core architectures for smart cities, smart manufacturing, smart retail, as well as applications in agriculture, fishery and animal husbandry, and enables high freedom and flexible control in terms of redundancy dispatch, thereby reducing expenditure on construction while linking various industrial control applications.

The modular embedded system series is an entry-level variant of the industrial-control-grade forerunner. The new series combines a standard, board-mounted embedded modular system (EMS) with IET modules, making I/O customisation faster and more flexible. Users may use the on-demand IET modules to build prototypes, scale out their systems or reproduce any existing architecture, thereby minimising repeated engineering. The rugged embedded systems feature Intel Elkhart Lake Atom x6425E (for wide-temperature models) or Celeron J6413 (for other models), which enhances computing power. The modular embedded systems also adopt a fan-less design, while featuring low power consumption and rugged properties like being wide-temperature (-40 to 70°C), wide voltage (9–36V), anti-drop and shock-proof. The modular embedded system is also designed to transmit data through both wireless and wired paths with its 5G/Wi-Fi 6E and two 2.5 GbE Ethernet ports, thereby facilitating mass data transmission without loss and enabling decision-making based on big data analytics.

For EMS-EHL, Avalue offers more than 10 different I/O configurations, including HDMI, USB, LAN, COM, PoE, etc, for different applications. Specifically, for EMS-EHL-PSE, a LAN-specific expandable I/O has been developed and is useful for control of smart streetlights in smart cities.
