FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Innodisk
Expands Embedded Peripheral Series with Communication Modules, for IoT
and Embedded Applications.
Expansion
Modules add Gigabit-Ethernet or Multiport Serial Connectivity
November
14, 2014, Taipei, Taiwan – 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.
