Crystal RE1012 rugged embedded computer

Crystal Group Inc. has expanded its Rugged Embedded (RE) product line with the RE1012 Rugged Embedded Computer. The RE1012 is engineered with the latest commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technologies, including Intel chipsets and processors, stabilised in a compact, rugged enclosure to provide robust compute power over a long operational life in extreme environments.

The RE1012 combines a six-core Intel Xeon D-1528 processor, up to 128 GB of ECC DDR4 RAM, two internal 2.5″ SATA solid-state drive (SSD) bays and one internal m.2 SSD bay, as well as flexible I/O in a rugged package measuring 6.1 x 40.5 x 28 cm and weighing 3.4 kg.

Its fanless design employs passively cooled heat-pipe technology and has no moving parts, reducing noise and maintenance. The RE1012 can be panel or rack mounted and comes with a variety of power options for AC and DC inputs.

The RE1012 is designed and tested with remote electrical substations in mind. Surge protection is built in and it is virtually maintenance-free in harsh conditions including temperature extremes, high shock and vibration, and elements such as humidity, high altitudes, salt spray and dust.

The RE1012 is designed and tested to meet or exceed IEC-61850, and IEEE 1613 standards, and comply with Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 5A992.
