Advantech's new ARK-1310 compact embedded computer

Advantech has introduced a new embedded box IPC, the ARK-1310 entry-level system platform that is suitable to harsh environments and ideal for kiosks, gateway controllers, product line automation, IO control systems, data collection and transition, and general automation controllers, and targeted for embedded control applications.

The ARK-1310 offers a pack of small, rugged unit with 2 x USB 2.0 ports, 2 x LAN ports, and 4 x COM ports, all powered by an Advantech EVA-X4150 processor. All four COM ports support RS232/422/485 with auto-flow control. This compact embedded computer is equipped with a solid-state onboard CF card up to 8 GB, so it easily passes 50 and 5 Grms shock and vibration tests. For supply power, it supports a wide range of input voltages, from 9 VDC to 24 VDC.
