The DIN-3000 is a robust modular blade-type industrial PC from IEI Technology. Being easily customisable, it provides high-performance cost-efficient solutions for diverse industrial applications.
The new open standard scalable PCI Express/USB expandable DINOBlade form factor was developed by IEI to enable and encourage development engineers to develop and customise modular solutions for a wide range of demanding industrial PC applications including automation, digital surveillance and embedded appliance industrial systems. Users can develop multiple I/O application blades based on the DINOBlade form factor.
Combinations to suit
The blade-type structure of the 5-slot DIN mountable DIN-3000 simplifies system upgrades and maintenance and enables the system to be setup as either a multifunctional or application specific device. One slot is reserved for a CPU blade, and another slot is reserved for a power module blade. The remaining three slots can accommodate different I/O application blades.
IEI ships a CPU blade (DSB-915), power blade (DPW-100V) and a SATA drive blade (DEX-302) with the system. The tiny form factor fanless CPU blade is an Intel CeleronM 800 MHz CPU (Zero Cache) platform that comes with an Intel 915GM mobile chipset. The 100 W 12 V d.c. input converter ATX power blade supports both an AC-DC power adapter and direct DC inputs. The SATA blade has an onboard Sil3132 chipset that can manage two 3 GBps SATAII drives - one internal and one external.
Possible applications
The digital surveillance blade and the ExpressCard blade are both optional. The optional 2-channel surveillance blade has a high-speed USB 2.0 audio/video recording system. The MPEG1/2/4 hardware codec enables realtime VGA video and stereo audio capture for each channel. The optional ExpressCard blade supports a wide variety of 54 mm and 34 mm ExpressCards, including memory, wired and wireless communications, multimedia and security applications.
Combining the ExpressCard blade with the digital surveillance blade makes the DIN-3000 ideal for digital surveillance applications. Customers can also request ODM service to create other I/O blades for specific industrial applications.
IEI Technology is continually developing more DIN-3000 blades to broaden the industrial applications of the DINOBlade DIN-3000 series. The company hopes the development of high-speed application blades, the simple architecture of the DIN-3000 and the application flexibility of the DINOBlade DIN-3000 will enable DINOBlade-based industrial solutions to become the trend in the IPC field.
