Bachmann electronic presents the third generation of its MX200 processor modules.
These compact powerhouses are ideal for control tasks in various areas of application, especially in the field of renewable energies.
With their robust design and powerful technology, they offer a reliable solution for controlling energy systems, for example in offshore wind farms, hydroelectric power plants, or CHP plants.
The new MX208, MX214, MX215, and MX221 processor modules feature modern industrial CPUs from Intel and use the VxWorks 7 real-time operating system. The integrated TPM2.0 chip meets modern security requirements by executing cryptographic processes in isolated hardware and securely managing keys.
In addition, a microSD slot is available, which not only serves as memory expansion but can also be used as a boot medium. This allows firmware, operating systems, or application programs to be started directly from the microSD card. Up to two integrated CAN bus interfaces also ensure a reliable connection to industrial fieldbus and control networks.
The modules are designed for extreme environmental conditions and operate reliably in a temperature range from -30 °C to +60 °C without any fans. Integrated power supply not only feeds the control unit, but also connected I/O system, enabling implementation of complete base systems on just two module widths.
The new generation of the MX200 series features a variety of communication interfaces, including Ethernet, CAN, and USB 3.0, which enable fast and reliable data transmission. With up to 4 GB of onboard memory for applications and data, as well as an increased LPDDR4 RAM of up to 1 GB, the modules can also handle larger and more complex applications.
USB 3.0 interface also enables faster updates and speeds up service work. With scalable clock speeds and a unified programming model, applications can also be easily transferred to more powerful CPU models in the MC or MH series as performance requirements increase.
