and has a much flatter build than, for exam-
ple, alternative COM Express modules, which
congatec will, however, in future also make
available in the new performance class.
Moving forward it is planned to incorporate
the processor technology into the new indus-
trial-grade Thin Mini-ITX, so that boards to
match any design task can be provided with
personal integration support. If the standard
portfolio does not cover the requirements,
individual variants or full custom designs are
available within congatec Embedded Design
& Manufacturing Services (EDMS). All stan-
dard boards and modules are qualified for
the Intel Gateway Solutions for the Internet
of Things, which makes the IoT connection
of these embedded boards much easier for
the customers. The launch enables quick and
simple adaptation of all existing Qseven appli-
cations and evaluation carrier boards to the
latest processor technology, accelerating the
deployment of new product variants. Inciden-
tally, the kit stands out not just with its inte-
grated gateway functions but also due to its
tamper-resistant, hardware-based encryption
technology. The aim is to simplify integration
of the new processor generation for develop-
ers – even in the highly complex and sensitive
security IoT environment.

Rutronik: low power fanless COM
Express mini module from Advantech
Advantech’s new low power, fanless COM
Express Mini Module SOM-7568 is equipped
with the latest Intel Pentium N3700, Cele-
ron N3150 and Celeron N3000 single-chip
processors, which are manufactured on new
Intel14-nm process technology. The mini
module is ideal for lower power handheld
applications. It is available at distributor
Rutronik as of now.
WynMax: Mini-ITX industrial
motherboard supports dual
Intel Gigabit Ethernet
Recognizing IPC market needs, WynMax has
developed a new Mini-ITX industrial mother-
board WMIX-A77E0 which is equipped with
2nd Gen. AMD embedded R-series APU pro-
cessors. This system-on-chip supports system
memory DDR3 2133/1866/1600MHz SDRM
maximum up to 16GB. WMIX-A77E0 pro-
vides rich I/O interfaces include 4 HDMI, 3
COM, 4 USB 3.0 and 8 USB 2.0.
congatec: Qseven module with quad-core
Pentium processor with 4K resolution
congatec introduces the latest addition to
its Qseven family. The conga-QA4 module
features the new Intel Pentium and Celeron
processors based on 14 nm technology and
offers increased energy savings and comput-
ing power. The optimized Intel Gen8 graphics,
with up to 16 graphics execution units and 4K
(3840 x 2160 pixels) resolution, result in a sig-
nificantly improved visual experience.
Amplicon: 4th gen Ventrix and
Impact-R rackmount industrial PCs
Amplicon introduce the amazing power of
the Intel Core 4th generation processor fam-
ily, unleashing incredible processing power
with low power consumption, lower thermal
characteristics, and rich I/O. The introduction
of the Haswell architecture signals further
advancements and capabilities from predeces-
sors; lower power consumption, greater num-
bers of USB 3.0 and SATA III channels and
iAMT revision 9.
MEN: CompactPCI Serial
Revision 2 is here
As recently announced by the American con-
sortium for embedded technology PICMG,
there is an update of the industry standard
CompactPCI Serial available – CompactPCI
Serial Revision 2. The by now four years old
successor of the well-known CompactPCI
standard has in the meantime several tens of
thousands installations in the field.
Pentair: new revision removes
last limitations of CompactPCI
Serial specification
Pentair announced its enhanced features and
functions for its Schroff CompactPCI Serial
systems, to reflect the changes of the new
CompactPCI Serial specification published
by PICMG in 2014. This updated revision
includes improvements and new features
which require changes to the chassis.
acceed: IPC power package
for high data throughput
Despite its compact construction, the Nuvo-
4000 is a reliable, highly efficient and above
all flexible controller for factory automa-
tion, in-line production control or demand-
ing tasks in machine vision applications and
further data processing systems. The power
package’s engine is optionally an Intel-CPU
i7-3610QE or the smaller i5-3610ME variant.
