Extreme Engineering Solutions (X-ES) has unveiled its latest Small Form Factor (SFF) rugged embedded system, the XPand6052. This compact unit merges the computational strength of the Intel® Core™ i7 processor-based XPedite7450 COM Express® mezzanine module with the advanced networking and communication features of the XPedite5205 XMC/PMC Embedded Services Router (ESR).
Compact Yet Powerful Processing
The conduction-cooled XPand6052 integrates the high-performance XPedite5205 router with the XPedite7450 Intel® Core™ i7 quad-core general-purpose processor, all within a Small Form Factor (SFF) design. This system is equipped with significant computing capabilities, making it suitable for a wide range of embedded and commercial applications.
As the successor to the well-received XPand6000 Series, the XPand6052 retains the compact footprint of its predecessor while enhancing modularity. This improvement allows for greater adaptability in derivative designs and simplifies the assembly process. Additionally, the XPand6052 boosts the EMI and environmental performance of this small chassis.
Robust Construction with Flexible I/O Capabilities
Designed to deliver extraordinary performance and reliability in challenging environments, the XPand6052 COTS system is engineered to meet or surpass the stringent military standards of MIL-STD-810 and DO-160.
This rugged design has undergone extensive testing at X-ES’ facility in middleton, WI, as well as at independent laboratories across the United States to ensure compliance with the rigorous standards it was built to meet.
The XPand6052 has been evaluated against the demanding environmental criteria of MIL-STD-810, which includes assessments for vibration, shock, humidity, fluid contamination, temperature extremes, altitude, temperature fluctuations, and the EMI standards outlined in MIL-STD-461G.
With distinct XPedite5205 routing and XPedite7450 processing components, the XPand6052 offers system designers a high degree of integration flexibility.
The system boasts a wealth of I/O options from the XPedite7450 processor, featuring two USB 2.0 ports, two configurable RS-232/422/485 serial ports, displayport and VGA graphics outputs, and two 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet ports. The XPedite5205 router contributes an additional four 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet ports and two RS-232 serial ports. Furthermore, the XPand6052 supports up to 64 GB of internal SATA-accessed storage.
As a flight-qualified system, the XPand6052 accommodates a MIL-STD-704A-F 28 VDC power input, making it ideal for various aircraft applications. Beyond its airborne capabilities, the XPand6052 is also well-suited for demanding ground conditions and in-vehicle deployments.
