Intelligent Fanless Dual Core System: ARK-2120 Featured with Intel® Atom™ Low Power Processor and Rich I/O Interface

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 18, 2012 --

Advantech (2395.TW), a global leader in the embedded computing market, is glad to announce the ARK-2120, a intelligent, fanless embedded system powered by Intel® Atom™ N2600/D2700 Dual Core low power processor with rich I/O interfaces. The new generation Intel® Atom™ processor brings 44% improvement on processing power and 90% on graphics performance. These low-power platforms provide energy-efficient and environmentally responsible solutions, and serve applications targeted at factory automation, machine automation, kiosks, and self-service applications; they operate reliably in -20 ~ 60° C environments!

Rugged & Multifunctional Design

ARK-2120 is powered by Intel® Atom™ N2600 1.6GHz/ D2700 2.13GHz dual core processors in an Advantech, rugged-design embedded box PC. All models are fanless, and highlight various quality features including wide-input power supplies from 12V to 24V, wide temperature range -20 ~ 60° C, diverse expandability options, and structural strengthening. ARK-2120 enlarges the surface of the top cover and conductive cylinder to create maximum cooling effects for optimized cooling efficiency. It also provides rich I/O interfaces: up to 6 x USBs, 3 x GbEs, 6 x COMs, and supports high capacity 2.5” HDD up to 1 TB. The RS-232/422/485 COM port mode can easily be changed via BIOS setting.

Multiple Display Support
ARK-2120 supports multiple display types: VGA, HDMI or 48-bit LVDS display. The graphic engine is DirectX 9, H/W format decode/Acceleration, MPEG2 (H/W acceleration), H.264/ VC1/ WMV9 (H/W Decode/Acceleration). ARK-2120 can be integrated with a touch panel display interface. The Advantech I-Panel Link supports a touch panel with power, video, and touch info, all through a single cable. Multifunctional design technologies simplify your applications with efficient solutions.

Built in Intelligent Management Tools ─ Advantech iManager & SUSIAccess
Advantech iManager provides a valuable suite of programmable APIs such as multi-level watchdog, hardware monitor, system restore, and more user-friendly interfaces. iManager is an intelligent self-management cross platform tool that monitors system status for problems and takes action if anything is abnormal. iManager offers a boot up guarantee in critical, low temperature environments so systems can automatically recover when voltages dip. iManager makes the whole system more reliable and more intelligent.

ARK-2120 also supports Advantech’s own SUSIAccess, which provides easy remote management so users can monitor, configure, and control a large number of terminals to make maintenance and system recovery simpler.
