IP-67 waterproof computer a world first

14 November 2007 Computer/Embedded Technology

Aaeon released an IP-67 waterproof communications controller, claiming it to be the first in the world. The AEC-6710 obtained five international patents (Germany, Japan, America, Taiwan and China) for its finned, fanless chassis design. It features exceptional heat conduction without any moving components, and can withstand temperatures up to 60°C.

The AEC-6710 adopts a VIA Mark 533 MHz processor and supports SDRAM DIMM system memory up to 512 MB. For network connection, it features one 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 connector. In addition, one customised Mini PCI for expansion, four serial ports, one USB port, line-in/line-out audio port serve as optimal I/O interfaces. Moreover, its industrial grade communication controller offers industrial-level anti-vibration and anti-shock approvals. AEC-6710 has passed Mil-Std-810F, Method 514.5, procedure 1, Cat.20, Table 514.5C-VII, Figure 514.5C (US highway trunk) vibration testing. It also provides isolation and surge protection. It can be operated under wide temperature ranges from -15°C to 60°C.

IP-67 is a rating of total protection from dust ingress and immersion in water up to 1 m. This allows the controller to be located in extremely harsh environments such as outdoor, heavy industrial and military applications. The design of the AEC-6710 also has minimal contact area with the surface to which it is mounted, preventing the problem of dirt build-up and moisture collection. With the selection of industrial grade components, the mean time before failure is more than 50 000 hours at 40°C ambient temperature. The AEC-6710 is suited for highways, parking lots, airports, subways, intelligent transportation management systems, vehicles, marine environments and railway telemetric controls.
