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.

PCIe-DAQ cards (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express - Data Acquisition Cards) are a key technology in measurement applications and form the high-performance interface for digital signal processing and data acquisition. The new PCIe-9100 series multiplexer DAQ cards from Adlink, which are now available from German distributor Acceed, have been developed for use in demanding industrial measurement and control systems. They combine high input resolution for precise data acquisition with a choice of different channel counts and configurations, making them a preferred choice for demanding applications, for example in data analysis, development, performance control or automation.

Box PCs and embedded controllers often have to be installed in very small spaces or in tight control cabinets. The limited space is a challenge for heat dissipation. Inadequate temperature management can quickly lead to problems with performance and operational reliability. The new POC-700-FT controller, now available from German distributor Acceed, offers an efficient solution. The innovative design with the newly developed full-surface, flat heat sink maximises cooling efficiency via the housing surface and allows safe fanless operation in industrial environments.
