utilized easily in order to improve the precision
of the data evaluation. With Areva, OPC UA
can be used to provide access to SIPLUG data
within the upper levels of a company via an
open, international standard (IEC62541). The
challenge of end-to-end data availability has
therefore been solved. In addition to the relia-
bility of the data, integrated security is also an
important aspect for the utilization of OPC
UA. The minimal memory requirements, which
start at 240kB flash and 35kB RAM, can be
integrated into the smallest Areva devices.
The demand for control automation products
that are easy to integrate into a company’s
data-sharing infrastructure is on the rise. OPC
UA, the latest generation of the world’s most
popular open data connectivity standard allows
for OPC UA servers to run on virtually any
platform or OS – including embedded appli-
cations. By using a high quality OPC UA Em-
bedded Server software development kit you
can quickly add value to your industrial elec-
tronic devices. The OPC UA Embedded Server
SDK is a software development kit that allows
to quickly and easily add an OPC UA Server
to embedded products. The scalable, stan-
dards-based SDK can be integrated into every
class of device, from discrete sensors and actu-
ators to programmable controllers and beyond.
You an add real value to your product by en-
abling direct point-and-click configuration,
management and monitoring from any OPC
UA client.

Innodisk: peripheral modules for
embedded systems
Innodisk is introducing a new line of peripheral
modules for embedded applications. Users will
be able to interface to LAN, serial ports
(USB/RS232-422-485/PCIe), storage devices
and video displays easily through these space-
efficient embedded peripheral boards. The
embedded peripheral modules offer a full set
of signal conversion and expansion options to
embedded systems. Output signal functionality
ranges from LAN, serial ports (USB/RS232-
422-485/PCIe), and SATA interface cards, to
display cards outputting analog VGA and
digital signals (HDMI/TTL/LVDS).

Advantech: QSeven modules with ARM
Cortex-A9-based Freescale i.MX6
processors
Advantech announces the ARM-based QSeven
module ROM-7420, powered by a Freescale
ARM Cortex-A9 i.MX6 Solo/Dual 1GHz high
performance processor that delivers multimedia
on a low-power platform. Compliant with
Qseven Specification 1.20, the ROM-7420 fea-
tures compact size (70 x 70 x 8 mm), feather
weight (21g), and ultra low power consump-
tion: only 3W. ROM-7420 is especially well
suited for portable devices and mobile com-
munications; the fanless design and full HD
support are ideal for various low-power appli-
cations in HMI/Signage, industrial automation,
cloud computing and hand held devices.

ADLINK: fanless embedded computer is
hardware ready for Intel vPro
technologies
ADLINK announced its new Matrix MXE-
5400 fanless embedded computer based on
4th Gen Intel Core i7-4700EQ quad-core
processor. The MXE-5400 delivers outstanding
performance, excellent manageability, optimized
connectivity, and rugged design in a compact
package. Maintaining the ingenious design
principles of ADLINK’s Matrix series for with-
standing harsh environments, plus implemen-
tation of ADLINK’s proprietary SEMA (Smart
Embedded Management Agent) tool, the MXE-
5400 maximizes manageability and security
for a wide range of applications, making it the
optimal solution for outdoor intelligent trans-
portation, digital surveillance, security, and in-
dustrial automation applications.
