Embedded Controller AEC-6831
1.1 Introduction
The AEC-6831 is an Embedded Control PC with Intel Atom
Processor. The Anti-vibration and high temperature tolerances
are the main design features of the AEC-6831. This allows the
AEC-6831 to be installed in a rugged transportation environment
despite high ambient vibration and temperature.
In addition to the Atom CPU, the AEC-6831 have DVI + VGA
output for video output and DC power supply is commonly used
in most vehicles and factory equipments, the AEC-6831 can
powered by a DC 9~30V input with low power consumption and
high performance. You can also choose an additional external
AC power adapter for power redundancy purposes.
Transportation has become part of most people’s life and forms a
necessary part of their lifestyle. From cars to trains to ships, we
rely on those tools a lot. The AEC-6831 is designed to improve
transportation control and enhance the quality of our lives.
