Stemmer offers embedded Adlink Matrix MXC-6000 PC for machine vision applications
1 min read
The Intel core i7 2.0 GHz processor and Intel QM57 chipset of an embedded fanless Matrix MXC-6000 PC, says Stemmer Imaging, provide ideal performance for image and vision measurement and automation applications.
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 licence keys (dongles). Sixteen isolated I/Os support industrial controls while an eSATA port supports storage expansion or hot-swapping of SATA drives.
The fanless and cable-free design is suitable for 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.
