Taipei, Taiwan, Nov. 14, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Innodisk, the service driven flash provider, announces the newest additions to its Embedded Peripheral line of expansion modules for embedded systems. Both using an mPCIe interface, the EMPL-G201 adds up to 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports and the EMP2-X401 adds either 4 or 8 serial ports independently selectable by software to communicate in either RS232, RS422 or RS485 mode. These modules allow system designers to easily expand Ethernet or serial connectivity of embedded systems for IoT and Industrial applications.
"The new communication-oriented Embedded Peripheral Modules are the next step in our E.P. line of expansion modules for embedded systems, allowing us to better serve our industrial and embedded customers." said Chico Hsiao, the product manager of Embedded Peripherals Division. "With the EMPL-G201 and EMP2-X401, customers can easily add communication ports to their embedded systems for IoT, M2M or industrial applications."
Single and Dual-port Gigabit Ethernet
With an mPCIe interface, the EMPL-G201 adds one or two isolated
Gigabit Ethernet ports to any embedded system. Besides basic
Gigabit Connectivity, more GbE ports allow system for Link
aggregation (a.k.a Port Trunking) which can give 2x or 3x Gigabit
speeds. Advanced networking features such as load-balancing,
failover, or multiple IPs are also made possible by more GbE
connectivity. A daughter board with cable offers 2 standard RJ45
Ethernet jacks and accommodates a variety of embedded system form
factors.
Multi-Port RS232/422/485
Innodisk's EMP2-X401 is a multi-port serial module that supports
RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 communication. Offering either 4 or 8
ports, each serial port can be independently configured by software
to use any of the 3 serial communication protocols. A flexible
cable connects the peripheral module with up to 8 daughter boards
each with a DB9 serial port and power output selectable for 5V or
12V. This module also offers 8 sets of GPIO on expansion board for
users as an optional purchase.
LAN Power Isolation
The EMPL-G201 Ethernet module features a LAN isolation circuit
design to protect the system from power transients unexpectly.
15kV ESD Protection
Both the EMPL-G201 and EMP2-X401 feature ESD surge protection on
both cards which can handle electrostatic shocks up to 15KV.
Ruggedized
The connector interfaces of both the EMPL-G201 and EMP2-X401
feature 30 nanometer "golden finger" connectors for a robust
connection. Wide operating temperature from -40° to 85°C is also
available as an option.
