ADLINK MXE-1000 series fanless embedded machine

Basic and Product Positioning

ADLINK MXE-1000 series rugged integrated fanless industrial control computer specification manual, released on March 28, 2012; The whole machine adopts an integrated cable free sealing structure with all aluminum heat dissipation fins, focusing on wide temperature, wide pressure, and anti vibration impact. It is designed for harsh industrial scenarios such as outdoor vehicle mounted, environmental monitoring, transportation, machine automation, and visual monitoring.

The series includes three models: MXE-1005, MXE-1010, and MXE-1020. The core CPU and basic IO are unified, and only the network port/1394 interface has differentiated configurations.
