ALX-9000 Introduction

Software Features

Remote Maintenance via SFTP/FTP Server and SSH/Telnet Software

The SFTP/FTP server is used for uploading applications or downloading data. And SSH/Telnet is designed for managing the ALX-9000. By using the FTP server and SSH/Telnet, you can update and manage the ALX-9000 remotely via the Ethernet.

Hardware Features

Powerful CPU Module

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 ALX-9000) 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 ALX-9000 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, ALX-9000 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.

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

ALX-9000 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 ALX-9000 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 ALX-9000 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 ALX-9000 from failing by the power loss, the power module is designed with two inputs. The ALX-9000 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 ALX-9000 series.

Heat Sink Design

Advanced CPU Heat Sink Design for ALX-9000 series

Improved storage disk performance

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