AXP-9000-IoT Introduction

The AXP-9000-IoT is Windows 10 IoT- based PACs that combine computing, I/O, and operator interface into a single unit and provide the perfect solution for integrating HMI, data acquisition, and control in an individual PAC. It is equipped with an Intel Core i5-8365UE/Intel Atom E3950 CPU, 0/1/2/3/6/7 I/O expansion slots, and a variety of connectives including dual Gigabit Ethernet, VGA, HDMI, USB port, RS-232, and RS-485 interface. Local I/O slots are available to use our I-9K, I-97K, e-9K series I/O modules and remote I/O expansions are available to use our Ethernet I/O modules and RS-485 I/O modules.

AXP-9000-IoT has a built-in Windows 10 IoT Enterprise operating system, which can support both the Universal Windows App and traditional Windows applications simultaneously. For software development tools, it can maintain maximum sharing with Windows 10, and applications can be quickly ported to AXP-9000 and deployed in a variety of harsh environments.
 

Software Features

Windows 10 IoT

Windows 10 IoT is a member of the Windows 10 family that brings enterprise-class power, security, and manageability to the Internet of Things. It leverages Windows' embedded experience, ecosystem, and cloud connectivity, allowing organizations to create their Internet of Things with secure devices that can be quickly provisioned, easily managed, and seamlessly connected to an overall cloud strategy.

• Traditional Windows Shell with Advanced Lockdown Features

• Full Windows UI support (e.g. UWP, WinForms, etc)

  • Rich Software Solutions
  • Visual Studio .Net and VC solution: SDK as well as demo programs for C#, VB.Net and VC are provided.
  • eLogger HMI: A free charge and easy-to-use software to implement HMI and data logger, supporting Modbus TCP/RTU/ASCII master and MQTT protocols. (See more...)

Intel Development Software Support

• Intel® Software Guard Extensions (Intel® SGX) ( AXP-9x5x-IoT only)

  • Develop professional video and media applications. Deliver hardware-accelerated video encoding, decoding, and processing in applications for Windows* and Linux*, such as digital surveillance, retail, cloud gaming, video conferencing, and more.

• Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ Toolkit

  • The Intel Distribution of OpenVINO toolkit enables developers to optimize, tune, and run comprehensive AI inference using the included model optimizer and runtime and development tools and deployment using an inference engine onto Intel hardware including Intel processors and/or built-in graphics controllers. the OpenVINO tool suite can optimize models trained in other environments to make them run perfectly for rapid deployment to Intel hardware, with almost no training required.
  • When AI computing applications are required, AXP-9000-IoT using Intel’s 8th generation Core processors can also bring flexibility and scalability to AI applications.

Hardware Features

Powerful CPU Module

  • i5-8365UE (1.6 ~ 4.1GHz, 4C4T) / 16 GB  SDRAM (DDR4)
  • E3950 (1.6 ~ 2.0 GHz, 4C4T) / 8 GB SDRAM (DDR4)

Built-in VGA and HDMI Port

A built-in VGA and HDMI port can be directly connected to a regular display. Users can operate the HMI or SCADA software (running on the AXP-9000-IoT) with the display, keyboard, and mouse just as how they usually did on regular PCs.

64-bit Hardware Serial Number

The 64-bit hardware serial number is unique and individual. Every serial number of AXP-9000-IoT PAC is different. Users can add a checking mechanism to their AP to prevent software from pirating.

Rich I/O Expansion Ability (RS-232/485, USB, Ethernet)

Besides the local I/O slots, AXP-9000-IoT also provides several RS-232/RS-485/USB ports and two Ethernet ports to connect with serial/USB I/O and Ethernet I/O devices.

Vision systems ( AXP-9x5x-IoT only)

Dual Watchdog Timer

A system could be hanged up when the OS or the AP fails. There are two watchdogs (CPU watchdog and Backplane watchdog) designed to automatically reset the CPU/Backplane when the situations happen. The design will increase the reliability of the system.

Dual Ethernet Ports

AXP-9000-IoT provides two Gigabit Ethernet ports. The two Ethernet ports can be used to implement redundant Ethernet communication and separate Ethernet communication (one for a global Internet, one for private Ethernet).

Rugged RJ-45 connector for LAN1

LAN1

The AXP-9000-IoT is equipped with a rugged and dustproof RJ-45 connector on the LAN1 port that can protect against both liquid and dust contaminants in harsh industrial environments, as well as protection against vibration and shock.

LAN2

Screw-lockable RJ-45 connector on the LAN2 port and there are screw holes (spacing 20mm) on both sides of the RJ45 connector, you can lock the RJ45 cable connector with them, to reduce the risk of the Ethernet cable falling off due to vibration occurring. Meanwhile, you can also choose a general RJ45 cable connector for your needs.

Power/Communication spring clamp terminal connector

The spring clamp terminal block that is used for the Power/Communication connector in the XP-9000-IoT offers advantages including anti-vibration, stable clamping, and easier installation.

Metal Enclosure

The AXP-9000-IoT features a durable metal casing to provide high levels of impact resistance and flame resistance and higher protection on EMS or other electromagnetic noises.

Redundant Power Inputs

To prevent the AXP-9000-IoT from failing by the power loss, the power module is designed with two inputs. The AXP-9000-IoT can keep working even one power input fails, and meanwhile, there is a relay output for informing the power failure.

Fanless Design with Wide Operating Temperature Range

With the fanless design for embedded applications, the operating temperature range is -25°C to +60°C for the AXP-9x9x-IoT series.

Advanced CPU Heat Sink Design for AXP-9x5x-IoT series

Improved storage disk performance

CFast cards used on AXP-9000-IoT series replaces the CompactFlash(CF) card used on XP-9000 series since they support SATA III interface, enabling much faster write/read speeds.
