AC600 • AC610

Embedded Blue® Boxed Solutions • Intel® Atom™ E3900 Series Processor • Apollo Lake SoC

As a member of their Embedded Blue® DIN Rail series, EKF presents the AC600/AC610, both fully featured industrial PCs. The box is equipped with an Intel® E39xx processor, and offers two connectors each for DisplayPort monitors, USB3 and M12-X Gigabit Ethernet at the front. The AC600/AC610 is provided with 8GB ECC RAM and a PCIe® SSD. The M12 power input connector accepts 9-57VDC. The AC610 has M.2 sockets to accommodate wireless communication modules. Wi-Fi 6 (ax) and Bluetooth are available as well as 5G/LTE WWAN and GNSS. External antennas can be attached via front panel SMA connectors.
The AC600/AC610 is a high reliable solution for industrial environments as well as transportation and railway.
