The Elkhart Lake provides up to 1.7x improvement in single-thread performance, up to 1.5x in multi-thread performance, and 2x graphics performance improvement over previous generation. Highlighting support for two DDR4 3200MHz SO-DIMM DRAM up to 32GB, an excellent fit for computer vision processing. Moreover, with In-Band ECC memory support, the iEP-5010G guarantee reliable computing to protect the system against potential crashes.

Adaptable IOs and Expansions with Real-time TSN/TCC and RF Capabilities

For a flexible range of IOs and expansions, the iEP-5010G Series feature two USB 3.2 Gen 1x1, two USB 2.0, four DIs, four DOs, one HDMI 2.0b, one VGA, one Mic in/Line out, and three RS-232/422/485 serial ports to connect multiple industrial devices. There are also one 2.5G LAN (Intel® i226-IT), two 1G LAN (Intel® i210-IT) and optional two 1G LAN (Intel® i210-AT) for iEP-5010G-012 plus optional two Intel® i210-AT ports supporting IEEE 802.3AF PoE (iEP-5010G-011) with Intel® TCC and TSN for real-time computing at the edge. Moreover, the iEP-5010G also support 4G LTE, 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, and BT 5.2 RF capabilities with two optional Wi-Fi antenna, three 4G LTE or four 5G antenna, plus various expansions, including one M.2 Key E socket (2230) for Wi-Fi/BT module, one M.2 Key B socket (3042/3052) for 4G LTE/5G module, and one external Nano SIM card slot for 4G LTE/5G module. Further storages support encompass one M.2 Key M (2280) for NVMe SSD, one SATA3 for SDD (iEP-5010G-010 only) and one Micro SD card slot.  

The Series implement flexible I/Os design to satisfy diverse application requirements alongside available choices: Basic SKU supports Wi-Fi/BT/4G LTE/5G, 2.5’’ storage, one 2.5G Ethernet (i226-IT) and two 1G Ethernet (i210-IT); PoE SKU supports two IEEE 802.3AF PoE/Wi-Fi/BT, one 2.5G Ethernet (i226-IT) and two 1G Ethernet (i210-IT); 5LAN SKU with support for Wi-Fi/BT, one 2.5G Ethernet (i226-IT), two 1G Ethernet (i210-IT) and two Intel i210-AT. Additional critical features include M2M protocols support, remote management and firmware/software/application of over-the-air (OTA) updates to facilitate data collection from southbound to northbound.
 

Durable Ruggedness in Harsh Environment 

The iEP-5010G Series Industrial IoT Controller are fan-less, with ruggedness designed for straining environments. The wide range of power inputs with phoenix type connector guarantees 6-36V wide range DC input for iEP-5010G-010/012 and 19-36V for iEP-5010G-011, plus full power protection with OCP, OVP, UVP, and 80V Surge Protection. The models also secure a wide range of operating temperature from -40 °C to 70 °C (iEP-5010G-010/012), and high shock/vibration resistance to ensure functionality and durability in harsh environments. For industrial security, TPM 2.0 is built-in to set up a trusted computing platform. Last but not least, you can depend on various mounting options, including DIN rail and wall mount options to satisfy diverse applications.
