Industrial-grade supercapacitor provides self-sustaining back up
For mission critical deployments in industrial applications, the ECO-1000 series, EDGEBoost EnergyPack provides self-sustaining power back up for industrial computing workloads in harsh and mission-critical deployments.
Premio has launched the industrial-grade supercapacitor power back up at Pack Expo 2023 in Las Vegas this week. The supercapacitor technology enables configurable power redundancy for mission-critical applications that deploy industrial computers, displays, and panel PCs. In the event of power loss or instability, the ECO-1000 is designed to effectively provide sufficient redundant power to initiate a safe shutdown for data loss prevention and corruption.
“Supercapacitor technology triumphs over traditional batteries in these harsh environments, allowing instantaneous power charge and discharge to protect vital data at the rugged edge, a key requirement for real-time processing,” explained Robert Lu, vice president of product engineering at Premio.
The ECO-1000 is available in two versatile configurations, offering a choice between eight times (with 100W power output) or 16 times (with 200W power output) supercapacitors. The ECO-1000 is supplied as a modular, plug-and-play unit that allows for quick replacement and upgradability to reduce maintenance costs.
The ECO-1000 brings dynamic charging options in each configuration to meet demands at the rugged edge and offers 10-year longevity and 500,000 charging lifecycles. The ECO-1000 supports three types of smart power modes for intelligent power management dependent on the requirements of the application: normal back up, ignition control, and battery mode. Each mode provides a seamless method that leverages ignition control, remote power on/off, and electrical sensors to manage redundant power backup solutions efficiently and intelligently according to the deployment settings.
Users can also streamline their operational processes with an interactive GUI and LCM display module. The GUI enables remote management through an output display module with user-friendly dashboard features for simple management, insights, and monitoring. An optional LCM module provides additional on-site monitoring and control to help minimise downtime and optimise productivity. The ECO-1000 brings safety and reliability to the rugged edge with its ruggedised industrial design. Supercapacitors boast high resistance and endurance in harsh environments that will not compromise energy storage, output, and overall longevity.
Premio’s ECO-1000 has been tested and validated for -25 to 55 degrees C, 20G shock and 5G vibration resistance, over-voltage / current protection and reverse protection.
The ECO-1000 Series is UL-certified, complying with UL 62368-1 Ed. 3 for ultimate safety and reliability. The energy pack is also EN50155-certified for deployment in railway applications. Typical applications include industrial automation, railway, intelligent transportation, smart energy and smart cities.
