Nov 29, 2007 - Vision Systems GmbH-Industrial PC provider, announces the release of newest ARM 9 RISC embedded industrial computer- OnRISC Alekto. Alekto is first member of the OnRISC family. It is based on ARM9 RISC CPU and runs the full-featured Debian GNU/Linux operating system. Alekto is suitable to cover control and networking applications for industrial control, transportation systems, environmental monitoring and small office servers.

Alekto is a fanless design, RISC-based architecture and reliably operates in an IP30 certified aluminium case from -10 to 65°C. It is ideally suited for harsh environments, as typically in industrial and factory automation applications.

• Variety of interfaces
  Many interfaces, like LAN, CF, USB, I²C, serial interface, digital I/O and MiniPCI-Slot, make it easy to connect various industrial devices to the OnRISC Alekto.



• Ready to Run
  OnRISC Alekto runs full-featured Debian GNU/Linux on ARM operating system including all device drivers for peripherals.



• High Performance
  ARM9 32-bit RISC CPU (166MHz) and 64MByte SDRAM memory allow the OnRISC Alekto to provide high performance for data processing.



• Compact Size
  OnRISC Alekto is ready to be DIN-Rail installed and feasible to fit even strong limited space environments.



• Wireless Capability
  Equipped with one MiniPCI Slot for WLAN, GSM/GPRS, GPS, Video-Capture expansion.



• Low Power Consumption
  OnRISC Alekto has very small power consumption and need only 6.5 watts.



• Wide Range Temperature
  Working reliably in a wide range temperature from -10°C to 65°C, OnRISC Alekto can be used practically almost everywhere.

Application



One Application field for OnRISC embedded computers is intelligent networking of the production tools, such as NC-Machines, PLC-Controllers and I/O controllers. These devices can be usually accessed only via RS 232/422/485 or over Digital I/O.

OnRISC Alekto directly interfaces these devices and via Ethernet higher computer instances, such as monitoring and/or control workstations. On demand OnRISC Alekto can supply the manunfacturing devices with production data, download their programms, can buffer data from/to those devices, run maintainance tests or performs data protocol conversions.
