OVERVIEW

EBox-AIO

An embedded platform running Linux

The EBox-AIO series is built around low-power Cortex®-Ax CPUs, an embedded platform running Linux, positioned for industrial communication and front-end control. You can develop on the platform yourself, drawing on a wide range of open-source resources.

Models provide one to two 10/100Mbps Ethernet ports, one to eight RS-485 ports, USB 2.0 and 4 to 19 GPIO control points, plus a mini-PCIe socket with SIM holder for a 4G module.

APPLICATIONS

Applications

EBox-AIO application collage: Energy Management, Environmental Monitoring, Remote Site Operations industrial site scenes

Energy Management

Query meters and power equipment over the serial port, process the readings with an on-device program, then upload — for energy management that needs custom logic and light local processing.

Environmental Monitoring

Connect RS-485 temperature, humidity and CO₂ sensors, then drive alarm outputs straight from the digital control GPIO — measurement and response both happen on site.

Remote Site Operations

The EBox-AIO-005, 008 and 009 take a 4G module to report back from remote sites with no physical network, cutting site-visit manpower substantially.
