Relio R3 Configurable 3U Rackmount Industrial Computer

The Relio R3 is a solid-state 3U rackmount computer designed for industrial and commercial applications requiring high reliability, maximum I/O expansion, scalable processing, and a long product life cycle.

Building on the advantages of COM Express architecture, the R3 features an Intel Atom® N2800 1.8GHz dual-core processor with 4GB RAM. The system requires low power consumption while operating fanless over a wide operating temperature range of 0°C to 50°C. Standard features include dual Gigabit Ethernet, four SeaLATCH locking USB 2.0 ports, three serial ports, DisplayPort video, and audio interfaces. The system includes a 7” LCD touchscreen on the front panel for a convenient operator interface.

With a total of 18 SeaRAQ™ I/O expansion slots, the R3 offers unprecedented expansion capabilities supporting a variety of real-world analog I/O configurations such as A/D inputs, 4-20mA outputs, 0-20mA inputs, thermocouples, and RTD inputs. Optically isolated inputs, relay outputs, and additional serial interfaces are also available. The system offers one PCI Express slot compatible with any half-length PCIe x1 board.

The Relio R3 operates from your choice of 2.5″ SATA solid-state disk (SSD) that can be integrated and preloaded with Microsoft Windows or Linux 32-bit operating systems. Operating from solid-state disk, the system is perfect for industrial and commercial rackmount environments including process control, test & measurement, and HMI applications.

Extended temperature range and other options are available. If you have application-specific requirements, call today to discuss a Sealevel custom COM Express solution.

Relio R9 ARM9 Embedded RISC Computer

The Relio R9 delivers RISC computing power with unmatched I/O features and uses the latest embedded software environment.

The Relio R9 is an application-ready platform for your next product design. The system is based on the 200MIPS Atmel AT91SAM9263 microcontroller boasting a 32-bit ARM instruction set for maximum performance. With up to 256MB RAM and 256MB Flash memory, the unmatched I/O features of the Relio R9 extend the possible uses beyond traditional ARM applications. The Relio R9 is the perfect platform for embedded applications requiring small size, wide operating temperature range, and flexible I/O connectivity.

Standard I/O includes Ethernet, serial, USB, CAN bus, digital and analog interface. System designers can directly drive TFT/STN LCDs from the internal video controller and the onboard resistive touchscreen controller, making it perfect for human-machine interface applications.

To provide the fastest time to market, the Windows CE 6.0 BSP binary and low-level drivers for system I/O are included. Additionally, the Relio R9 software package is equipped with the Sealevel Talos I/O framework, which offers a high-level, object-oriented .NET Compact Framework (CF) device interface. This interface provides an I/O point abstraction layer with built-in support for the specific needs of analog and digital I/O such as gain control and debouncing.

For embedded Linux systems, Sealevel provides fully configurable components – cross-compilation toolchain, bootloader, kernel and root filesystem – using a customized BuildRoot with Sealevel patches, additional features, and source code samples.

The Relio R9 is housed in a rugged, small enclosure suitable for mounting almost anywhere and is rated for a full -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range. The Relio R9 is powered from your 7-30VDC source, or select from a variety of Sealevel power supply options.
