4.7.3 - Contec USB System

The Nuvo-11000 series is Neousys’ flagship rugged embedded computer, powered by Intel® Core™ Ultra 200 processors with up to 24 cores/threads, DDR5-6400 memory, PCIe Gen5, and an integrated NPU delivering up to 36 TOPs for AI workloads. Offering a 1.2x CPU boost and improved energy efficiency, it supports demanding industrial applications. The system provides five 2.5GbE and one 1GbE port (with optional PoE+), an optional 10GbE port, eight USB 3.2 Gen2 ports, and an M.2 Gen5x4 slot enabling SSD speeds over 11,000 MB/s. With expansion via Cassette, MezIO®, and mini-PCIe, plus isolated DI/DO, it delivers versatile connectivity, scalability, and reliable performance in harsh environments.

The multifunctional DAQ cards PCIe-9146 and PCIe-9147 are powerful new developments that enable precise and highly flexible data acquisition in demanding applications. These PCIe cards combine simultaneous data acquisition on multiple channels with speed and precision. This makes them equally suitable for general use in professional measurement technology as well as for tasks in industrial automation or research and development. Thanks to their ability to capture multiple signals simultaneously, they offer an optimal solution for applications where synchronisation and high resolution are crucial, such as vibration detection.

Edge AI applications often mean that the hardware used is housed in tightly dimensioned enclosures, ducts or narrow boxes. Enclosures are unavoidable to protect against environmental influences, but air circulation and thus cooling suffer just as inevitably. The NRU-156U3-FT AI controller from Acceed now scores points with a new fanless chassis design for installation in confined spaces with reduced airflow and simultaneous operation at high ambient temperatures. The full-surface, flat heat sink maximises cooling efficiency across the entire top of the housing, enabling efficient heat dissipation even with reduced air circulation. The robust embedded PC has six USB interfaces (3.2) and is designed for operation at ambient temperatures from -25 to +60 °C.

Good cooling, or more precisely effective heat dissipation, is a not insignificant factor when it comes to operational reliability and performance in the case of built-in computers, the embedded controllers in demand for industrial applications. Traditionally, extensive ribbed heat sinks are used here, which are mounted on the actual housing. The experienced manufacturer Neousys is taking a different approach with its new Nuvo-9531-FT model series, which is available from Acceed.

The successful NRU series for edge AI applications from German distributor Acceed has received a special addition. The already fanless chassis design for operation at high temperatures has been further optimised thanks to an unusual redesign. The now full-surface, flat heat sink maximises cooling efficiency across the entire top of the housing, allowing the controller to be used in closed housings or confined spaces with reduced airflow. The robust NRU-154PoE-FT has four GbE interfaces (2.5 Gb) with PoE and is designed for operation in ambient temperatures from -25 to +60 °C.
