DIN-rail fanless box PC is certified to ATEX/CID2
In hazardous environments where there may be ignitable concentrations of flammable gases or liquids, the ICO300-83M is a DIN-rail fanless PC operates as an IIoT gateway for hazardous deployment.
Certified to ATEX, Class I Division 2 (CID2), the DIN-rail fanless embedded system is powered by the Intel Atom x5-E3930 processor with 8GB DDR3L-1866 RAM. Designed for operation in harsh industrial environments, the IP40-rated DIN-rail fanless box PC has a wide operating temperature of -40 to +85 degrees C, 9.0 to 36V DC wide voltage input with over-voltage, under-voltage and over-current protection as well as reverse polarity protection. It also has up to 3G vibration endurance.
The anti-explosion ICO300-83M is specially designed for the oil and gas, chemical, steel, distilling and other heavy duty industries. “In addition to operation in broad temperature ranges, the ICO300-83M has obtained the ATEX, CID2 certifications to mitigate safety risks in hazardous environments such as oil, gas, and chemical manufacturing,” said Mark Lu, the product manager of Product PM division at Axiomtek. “This explosion-proof DIN-rail gateway system supports one M.2 Key B 3052 and one full-size PCI Express Mini Card slot for LTE or Wi-Fi modules to ensure superior connectivity for real-time communications,” he added.
A half-size PCI Express Mini Card slot and two SIM slots also maximize computing efficiency. The gateway is designed for flexible configuration and ease of expansion, supporting an array of functional I/O, including six isolated RS-232 / 422 / 485 serial ports, one HDMI port, two USB 3.0 ports, three isolated Gigabit Ethernet ports, one eight-in/eight-out DIO port, and five antenna openings for WLAN and WWAN usage. For additional storage to expand functionality, the ICO300-83M comes with one mSATA occupied with a PCI Express Mini Card slot, an internal 2.5-inch SATA drive, and an optional eMMC on board.
The ICO300-83M is compatible with Windows 10, IoT and Linux. It also supports Axiomtek’s AXView software for remote monitoring. In addition, a cold boot at -40 degrees C helps to eliminate issues affecting the operational reliability of the system. Trusted Platform Module 2.0 (TPM 2.0) is also available to ensure critical information security.
The ICO300-83M will be ready for purchase in September 2021.
