Complete Industrial Computing Solutions Featuring Intel's New Processor Architecture New Capabilities, Superb Performance and Multiple Possibilities
Date: 5/8/2006
ECA is a leader devoted to the design and integration of leading edge, high performance industrial PC platforms. ECA’s feature-rich system solutions are available in a variety of form factors, ranging from industrial ATX and microATX motherboards, PICMG® single board computers, to a comprehensive range of 7U rackmount and wallmount chassis. These platforms match the performance of commercial PCs, and are much more attractive with tough industrial features like longevity, expansibility, reliability and strict revision control.
ECA’s new series of PC platforms incorporate Intel®’s latest processor architecture which features exciting system enhancements, like dual-channel memory, PCI Express technology and Serial ATA ports. They rise to the challenge of today’s data-intensive business applications that demand graphics and image processing, complex simulations and mission-critical surveillance systems.
Industrial ATX Motherboards
ECA’s industrial-grade motherboards optimise computing capacity and I/O performance. They are ideal for customers who require off-the-shelf products with built-in expansion capacities for PCI, PCI-X and graphic cards. These industrial motherboards are systemically compatible, and apply the same pin definitions and I/O port locations as all PICMG single board computers (SBCs). Therefore, computer systems may be upgraded seamlessly to SBCs for even more flexibility and expansibility.
The brand new industrial-grade AIMB-762 motherboard supports dual-core Intel® Pentium® D or Intel Pentium 4 processors to take on major computing tasks. The graphics performance is scaled up with integrated graphics and an exclusive PCI-Express x16 expansion slot. As an added bonus, the AIMB-762 provides reliable and cost-effective data protection with software support for RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 functions. This board offers a performance solution for multimedia and multi-tasking applications.
The compact PCIe-based industrial Micro-ATX motherboard AIMB-560 is built for space-limited and cost-sensitive applications. This board is equipped with advanced I/O’s, including: dual PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet, four Serial-ATA devices, and eight USB ports. Three 32-bit/33 MHz PCI slots are available to support the most current expansion devices.
PICMG Single Board Computers ECA has built a reputation for leadership in the edge-connected single board computer industry. Compliant with PICMG 1.0 and PICMG 1.3 standards, these full-sized SBCs features comprehensive backplane support and are the most flexible and expansible solutions for industrial slot-hungry applications. A wide range of ECA backplanes are available, ranging from four to twenty slots, and allow optimal system configurations with flexible combinations of PCIe (x1, x4, x 8, or x16), 64-bit/32-bit PCI and ISA slots.They’re also tailor-made to fulfill precise application requirements.
The upcoming server platform, the PCE-7210, is a PICMG 1.3 compliant full-sized CPU card. Built to support dual Intel Xeon processor, this power-efficient DDR2-400 memory-based platform enables dual-processor servers to enhance system performance. The other PICMG 1.3 compliant SBC, the PCE-5120, supports dual-core Intel Pentium D or Intel Pentium 4 processors. One PCIe x4 lanes for the connection for peripherals and one PCIe x16 lanes for graphics support are also available. Both the PCE-7210 and the PCE-5120 support on board IPMI module for powerful platform management.
The new available PICMG 1.0 compliant SBC, the PCA-6190, is attractive with the Gigabit Ethernet interface with a maximum throughput of 2Gbpsfor 2 Gigabit LANs. It’s perfect for industrial applications that experience heavy network traffic.
System Integration Service
In addition to building feature-rich platforms, ECA’s core competence arises from providing an effective integration service system. Customers are free to configure their system solutions without regard for compatibility concerns. ECA supplies a full range of standards-based products for flexible configurations. Customers may also select from a variety of pre-configured systems designed for multiple markets. The system is assembled and tested by ECA professional teams, and then shipped. Customers enjoy the obvious benefit of developing custom applications and services selection, without having to expend any extra effort on system assembly!
