The ARK-1221L and ARK-1250L din-rail edge computers are now on the market, augmenting Advantech’s line-up. These ultra-compact, rugged computers are fanless, supporting wide operating temperature ranges (-40 ~ 60 °C; -40 ~ 140 °F) and voltage input. The ARK-1221L and ARK-1250L support 5G/LTE integration, enabling higher efficiency and increased productivity in factory and smart city applications. The Edge computers support Windows 10 and Ubuntu for easy deployment and integration. By adding TPM chips on request, the computers also enable high-level hardware-based security. This series is designed with a front-facing I/O that supports integration in space-limited environments common in machine vision, equipment control and smart factory applications.
An industrial automation gateway: ARK-1221L
The ARK-1221L edge computer features the Intel® Atom® x6413E Quad Core CPU (Elkhart Lake) and supports up to 32 GB DDR4-2666 memory for computing-intensive IoT operations. ARK-1221L leverages WISE-DeviceOn to provide a 5G-ready IoT gateway for remotely managing Edge devices, reducing downtime and maintenance costs, and increasing processing efficiency and productivity. Despite its compact size, ARK-1221L provides rich I/O for connection with sensing devices — these include 2 x GbE (up to 2500 Mbps), 2 x RS-232/422/485, 2 x USB 3.2, 2 x USB 2.0,and HDMI + DP. Alongside providing connectivity to Wi-Fi and 5G modules, the ARK-1221L features multiple internal expansion slots, including mPCIe and M.2 E key & B key for diverse automation applications and storage.
An AI zccelerated automation system: ARK-1250L
Powered by 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i5/i3 processors (Tiger Lake), the ARK-1250L edge computer delivers responsive, high-performance computing power with AI/deep learning capabilities and low power consumption. The ARK-1250L supports versatile I/O connection and over 10 selected iDoor I/O expansion modules. These modules offer high flexibility for a diverse range of AOI, AGV/AMR, and industrial equipment control applications. The ARK-1250L features 4 x RS-232/422/485 for motor and radar sensors, 1 x optional CANbus for robotic arms, 3 x USB 3.2 for peripherals like vision cameras, and 3 x GbE (2 x are up to 2500 Mpbs) for connectivity. Its internal expansion slots, including mPCIe/mSATA, M.2 E key (for Wi-Fi) and B key (for 5G), internal USB pin header (for security dongles), help users enhance solution functionality. Built with Advantech DeviceOn/iEdge, the ARK-1250L supports standard industrial protocols, including Modbus, OPC-UA and other PLC base protocols via a user-friendly interface for machine status monitoring, real-time reaction and abnormal function notification capabilities.
The ARK-1221L and ARK-1250 din-rail edge computer automation systems are available now.
