安裝孔連結至客製化模組,特殊應用的載板提供摔落與振動的保護。
Express-CVC被定位為一款入門級的COM Express模組化電腦,適用於需要小尺寸、雙核心運算效能和DDR3記憶體的系統。它是需要浮點 (Floating Point) CPU效能,支援平均圖形和穩定功耗水平等應用的理想選擇,像是機器人、工業控制和數據通訊等。該模組化電腦支援三個不同類型32奈米製程的Intel® Atom™?處理器,包含:3.5瓦散熱設計功率 (1M Cache, 1.6 GHz) 的Intel® Atom™? N2600處理器、6.5瓦散熱設計功率 (1M Cache, 1.86 GHz) 的Intel® Atom™? N2800處理器、10瓦散熱設計功率 (1M Cache, 2.13 GHz) 的Intel® Atom™? D2700處理器。
Intel® Atom™? 處理器整合了一個圖形處理單元(GPU),效能為前一代Atom GPU的兩倍,並且提供CRT與單通道的LVDS。Intel® Atom™? 處理器均支援雙核心與超執行緒技術,透過每核心擁有兩個執行緒,允許Express-CVC能夠以超凡的效能完成多項任務或多個作業系統的應用。
IntelR NM10 PCH 最多允許連接三個額外的PCI Express x1 連接埠,同時支援LAN控制器在第四個端口.該模組化電腦內建一個Gigabit Ethernet網路連接埠與一個SATA埠,並且支援一個平行的IDE通道、32位元PCI與LPC。
Express-CVC模組化電腦配備了AMI UEFI BIOS,其支援嵌入式的特點,像是:遠端控制台、CMOS備份in 16Mbit SPI BIOS, CPU 與系統監控和看門狗計時器。
凌華科技Express-CVC 模組化電腦內建嵌入式智慧管理雲端平台 (SEMA Cloud) 功能,可做為物聯網應用。Express-CVC能夠連結傳統的工業用裝置,與其他的物聯網系統連結至雲端,從這些裝置取得初步的資料,儲存在
本地並送至雲端做更進一步的分析,然後透過這些分析後的資料進行決策。這些分析能夠提供有價值的資訊,協助政策決定與產生創新的商業機會。
The Express-CVC is a low power, low cost, COM Express Type 2, COM.0 R2.1 module in Compact form factor that is specially designed to facilitate speedy development of semi-custom designs. The COM Express standard embodies the convergence of the latest technology standards based on serial differential signaling such as PCI Express, USB 2.0, SATA and LVDS implemented on a compact size Computer on Module. Signals are brought out through two 220-pin board-to-board connectors that permit data transmission rates of up to 5GHz.
Mounting holes connect the module with a custom-made, application specific carrier boards which provide protection from shock and vibration.
The Express-CVC is positioned as an entry level COM Express module for systems that require a small footprint with dual core computing power and DDR3 memory. It is ideal for applications that require Floating Point CPU performance with average graphics support and moderate power consumption levels, such as Robotics, Industrial control and Data Communications. The module supports three different types of a 32nm process Intel® Atom™? processors : Intel® Atom™? N2600 processor with only 3.5W TDP (1M Cache, 1.6 GHz); the Intel® Atom™? N2800 processor (1M Cache, 1.86 GHz) with 6.5W TDP; and the Intel® Atom™? D2700 processor (1M Cache, 2.13 GHz) with 10W TDP.
The Intel® Atom™? processor integrates a graphics processing unit (GPU) has twice the performance as earlier generation Atom GPU and provides CRT and single channel LVDS. The Intel® Atom™? processors all support daul cores and Hyper-Threading Technology with 2-threads per core allowing the Express-CVC to provide excellent performance for multi-tasking or multi OS applications.
The IntelR NM10 PCH allows connection of up to three additional PCI Express x1 ports, while supporting the LAN controller on the 4th port. The module comes with a single onboard Gigabit Ethernet port and one SATA ports. It has legacy support for a single parallel IDE channel, 32-bit PCI and LPC.
The Express-CVC comes equipped with AMI UEFI BIOS supporting embedded features such as: Remote Console, CMOS backup in 16Mbit SPI BIOS, CPU and System Monitoring and Watchdog Timer.
The ADLINK Express-CVC computer-on-module with built-in SEMA Cloud functionality is ready-made for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The Express-CVC is able to connect legacy industrial devices and other IoT systems to the cloud, extract raw data from these devices, determine which data to save locally and which to send to the cloud for further analysis. The results these analyses can provide valuable information for policy decision making and generate innovative business opportunities.
