congatec industrial-grade Thin Mini-ITX boards with 6th generation Intel®


High scalability for a wide variety of industrial applications


congatec, a leading technology company for embedded computer modules, single board computers (SBCs) and embedded design & manufacturing (EDM) services, presented its new family of highly scalable Thin Mini-ITX boards with Intel®


stand 358). The new boards stand out with their high scalability, ranging from 2.0 GHz Intel Celeron®


processors at Embedded World (hall 1, processors up to 3.4 GHz Intel Core™ i7


processors. The industrial-grade boards further offer a fully configurable thermal design power (TDP) from 7.5 to 15 watts and up to 32GB of DDR4 RAM as well as 4K multiscreen support. These advantages come in tandem with a comprehensive set of interfaces for the direct connection of various industry-specific extensions such as SIM cards, low- cost CMOS cameras as well as cash and card terminals.


Thanks to their high scalability the new conga-IC170 Thin Mini-ITX


boards are ideal for a wide variety of industrial applications. These range from fanless HMIs, control and SCADA systems, powerful and robust kiosk or retail systems, to slot machines and digital signage. Due to their flat design with a height of just 20 millimetres, they are also suitable for extremely slim panel and industrial All- in-One PC designs. The optional Smart Battery support expands the range of implementations to include even portable, battery-powered applications such as mobile ultrasound equipment in medical technology. The integrated board management controller and support for Intel vPro™ technology with Intel Active Management Technology (Intel AMT) increase the reliability of distributed IoT system installations and in many cases make on-site maintenance unnecessary.

High top DIN rail enclosures available with


open or closed front OKW has extended its RAILTEC C DIN rail enclosures range with a new high top version. High top RAILTEC C is suitable for applications including automation, building and safety, HVAC, timers, sensors, relays, lighting controls, subrack interfaces, modules, amplifiers and transformers.


Enclosures lock quickly and easily on to TH35 rails. They are available with a closed or an open front (which has easily removable ridges to give stability during transport).


Both versions feature two sides open for connections. They can accommodate up to four terminal guards (available as accessories). There are fastening pillars in


the bottom section plus guides for installing PCBs. Case parts snap together for easy assembly.


High top RAILTEC C is available in one size: six modules wide (107x90x114 mm). It is moulded from light grey polycarbonate (UL 94 V-0). Prices start at £13.


Accessories include 2-pin, 5-pin and 9-pin plug headers; a 9-pin terminal block; terminal guards (either closed, perforated or with 5, 6 or 9 holes) plus front panels in light grey opaque, transparent and red or smoked grey translucent polycarbonate.


There is also the RAILTEC-BUS system which enables fast and easy linking of DIN rail enclosures that share the same power and signal connections. This system comprises a bus PCB, support profiles, cover, end caps and PCB/BUS connection blocks.

Kemtron launches a flame retardant conductive


elastomer for RFI/EMI shielding Kemtron, the British manufacturer of RFI/EMI shielding gaskets, materials and components has launched a flame retardant, low smoke, low toxicity EMC shielding gasket. Tested and approved to the international standard UL94V-0 by Underwriters Laboratories for flame retardancy, file number E344902.


The material is a nickel coated graphite loaded into silicone elastomers, product code SNG-FR, the gasket provided a highly electrically conductive path between mating flanges of an electronics equipment enclosure giving a high level of RFI/EMI shielding. Nickel coated graphite in silicone is the most cost effective of all the electrically conductive silicone


elastomers and its performance in many applications will exceed that of silver based products due to its more aggressive surface finish providing a very low surface contact resistance. The material can be supplied as an extruded strip in various profiles, “O” rings or flat die cut gaskets. Electrically conductive pressure sensitive adhesive can be applied to flat gaskets to aid assembly.

Core™ processors offer high scalability Software add-on for F&S NXP i.MX 6 modules


For the development of real-time systems with embedded Linux on F&S boards, their partner emlix GmbH developed a software solution based on asymmetric multiprocessing (AMP). For the usage of modern multi-core processors with two or more cores, one core is being isolated from the software compound and is used exclusively (asymmetrically) with specialized real- time software.


The advantage of this architecture is the strict isolation of real-time tasks – for example a control algorithm – from the rest of the system. emlix has developed real-time applications for the F&S Single Board Computer armStone™A9 and Computer On Module efus™A9, using one of four cores exclusively to drive a control mechanism with 10µs cycle time. With average system usage, the jitter is below 1µs and stays below 5µs under full benchmark load of all CPU cores and the internal memory buses.


The real-time software was programmed using C with a few lines of Assembler code. The control mechanism uses GPIOs. All interfaces and processes irrelevant to real-time, stay on the Linux controlled cores.


This enables simultaneous and unrestricted use of USB, Ethernet, PCIe, control and visualization of graphics for user interfaces and other interfaces.


This add-on offers the customer a further alternative for the development and long-term service of real- time systems based on embedded Linux besides Preempt-RT and Xenomai/Adeos.


This solution is available for boards with i.MX 6 NXP processors by F&S Embedded, Germany. http://www.mansky.co.uk/news/software-add-on-for-f-and-s-nxp-i.mx-6-modules.html
