Crystal Group RE1112 rugged embedded computer

Crystal Group has introduced the RE1112 rugged embedded computer, designed for applications where high performance is needed in demanding environmental conditions.

This computer’s efficient heat-dissipating, solid-state design makes it suitable for harsh environment automation applications such as those typically found in oil and gas production, municipal utilities, mining operations and military systems. It provides a stable automation platform with minimum maintenance.

The computer is designed for fanless operation over an extended temperature range from -40 to +60°C, and its special aluminium housing with cooling fins serves as a heat sink for conductive cooling of the internal electronics. The chassis is built to withstand harsh environments for storage operations from -45 to +85°C. The unit mounts with multiple DIN rail options and operates from a wide voltage range of 18–36 VDC.

The embedded computer is powered by an Intel Core i7 processor, is equipped with up to 16 GB of RAM and features one PCIe X16 low-profile expansion card and onboard SATA2 and SATA3. The computer has two non-removable 2.5″ SSD hard drives and supports Linux, VMWare and Windows software.
