Contradata S.r.l. has announced the availability of a new, highly innovative embedded system, developed by its represented Cincoze Ltd.

TheGM-1000 is a rugged computer based on the eighth and ninth generation Intel Core & Xeon processors and incorporating an MXM expansion for high-performance GPU cards in a fanless architecture.

The GM-1000 can be configured with the full range of Intel 8th and 9th gen CPUs, including 8-core Xeon and Core i variants, and supports dual channel SO-DIMM DDR4 2666 MHz memory up to 64GB.

This system offers a particularly rich set of interfaces including: 4x COM RS-232/422/485, 2x GbE LAN, 8x USB, 1x HDMI, 1x DisplayPort and 1x DVI-I.

Internally there is an M.2 slot with M key for high performance NVMe SSDs and an M.2 slot with E key supporting CNVi technology for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. All these features are integrated on board an extremely compact chassis measuring only 260 x 200 x 85 mm that can be accommodated in small cabinets.

The GM-1000 has been designed with a total power budget of 360W to provide adequate power for the CPU and optional GPU. The GPU can be integrated via an MXM 3.1 Type A/B slot and GPUs with power consumption up to 160W are supported. Currently, Nvidia Quadro Embedded P2000 and AMD Radeon Embedded E9174 GPUs are available as options.

In order to handle the large amount of heat generated by the CPU and GPU, the system adopts two independent dissipation systems based on liquid heatpipes and a sophisticated extruded finned aluminium case. An optional external fan with 4 individual fans can be installed to create the airflow needed for installations where space is at a premium or where efficient airflow is not possible.

Thanks to Cincoze's innovative CMI (Combined Multiple I/O) and CFM (Control Function Module) technologies, the GM-1000 allows extra functions to be implemented at the customer's request. For example, it is possible to add additional multi-LAN modules, 10 GbE LAN modules, Power-Over-Ethernet ports, Digital I/O, additional serial, and power ignition functionality for vehicular applications.

To ensure reliability in harsh environments, the GM-1000 has been designed to ensure high shock and vibration resistance (5G / 50G), high power supply reliability with a 9 to 48 VDC input protected against overvoltage, overcurrent and reverse polarity.

An advanced ESD protection system on the interfaces also ensures high reliability against electrostatic discharge. The system has also been certified for railway applications (EN-50155), automotive (E-Mark) and in compliance with EN-62368-1 for safety.

Comments

"To meet the growing needs of the GPU-based industrial computer market, Cincoze has introduced the GM-1000, the first in a series of GPU computers for advanced industrial applications," said Brandon Chien, CEO of Cincoze. "Withthis new product series, we expect to be able to offer our customers GPU-based solutions with a lifecycle similar to traditional industrial PCs. Theintegration of GPUs onboard the system in a fanless architecture also enables us to offer systems that are much more robust and reliable than PCI Express add-in card solutions," said Roberto Del Corno, director of sales at Contradata.
