Stemmer Imaging can now offer the powerful fanless Adlink Matrix MXC-6000 embedded-PC. The Intel Core i7 2.0 GHz processor and Intel QM57 chipset deliver a level of performance ideal for image and vision measurement and automation applications in areas as diverse as intelligent transport systems, factory control, test instrumentation, safety surveillance and building automation.
A rich I/O functionality includes two PCI slots or one PCI and one PCIe x4 slots, two Gigabit Ethernet ports and four external USB ports, allowing the selection of the best possible camera for the application. Other I/O capabilities include one port for DVI-I (VGA + DVI-D), allowing the control of two independent displays, and two RS232 ports plus two software-selectable RS232/422/485 ports.
All ports are mounted on the front panel for ease of use. An additional internal USB 2.0 port allows the deployment of license keys (dongles). Sixteen isolated I/Os support industrial controls. An eSATA port supports storage expansion or hot-swapping of SATA drives.
The fanless and innovative cable-free design provides excellent dependability in harsh environments, where severe temperature variation and vibration may exist. In addition, an optional hot-pluggable fan module is available to dissipate heat generated within the system should high power consumption PCI/PCIe cards be installed.
