Latest AAEON NanoCOM- APL COM Express Board


Ideal for HMI, mobile and digital signage applications


onboard 6th generation Intel® Atom™/Celeron®/Pentium® SoC processor.


A This small 84 mm x 55 mm board has a wide


temperature range of -40 to +80°C and up to 8GB of ultrafast LPDDR4 memory.


This Type 10 board has two SATA uSD, eight USB2.0 and


two USB3.0 ports. As a small form factor, NanoCOM-APL can easily be embedded into a small panel PC for HMI/mobile and digital signage applications. Energy and Medical markets are also a possibility with its wide temperature range.

very harsh environments. When explosion protection has the highest priority, the new, certifiedposition measuring system BTL7-T500 from Balluff is the right choice.


C With its many international approvals, such as ATEX and IECex, the BTL7-T500 offers a broad range of applications,


high reliability and safe operation in explosion hazard areas of Zone 0 and Zone 1. This meansfor example it can be used as well for continuous level measurement in refinery tanks.


The Profibus interface offers great flexibility. The position measuring system can be quickly adapted, saves time


in installation and means rapid diagnostics of possible errors. This shortens commissioning time of systems and maintenance when service calls are needed. A single cable suffices for hookup (BUS-in-out,power).The non-contact and thereby wear-free magnetostrictive measuring system in the stainless steel housing with IP 67 protection is not only extremely insensitive to contamination, but also shock rated to 100 g. It alsowithstands vibration up to 12 g.


With a resolution of 1m and repeat accuracy of 10m it operates with extreme precision and is also the ideal solution when position and speed measurement needs to be performed simultaneously in a system. Balluff
