Based on the quad-core Intel N2930 processor and supporting up to 8GBytes DDR3L SO-DIMM memory, the ARES-1230 measures 180 X 130mm and weighs less than 1kg, suiting it for use in digital signage, machine automation and the retail sector.
The ARES-1230 also has a flexible I/O module design. The ultra-low profile standard version comes with two RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet LAN connections, USB 3.0 and USB 2.0, and DVI-I as well as HDMI for video. The slightly taller extended I/O ARES-1230-E version adds two additional USB 2.0 ports, two RS-232/422/485 serial ports, and four DI/DO ports for additional peripheral connectivity. Both versions include dual mPCIe slots to accommodate WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS or other modules to provide wireless connectivity for communication, positioning and navigation deployments.
Input power requirements are flexible as well. The standard version operates on 12Vdc, whereas the ARES-1230-E’s 9 to 36Vdc input is designed for deployments with potential power fluctuations.
