Chapter 1
System Overview
1.1 Introduction
Portwell Inc., a world-leading innovator in the Industrial PC (IPC) market,
announced WEBS-21G0, a fan-less intelligent embedded system featuring 15W SKUs
of the 8th generation Intel® Core® processor product family (codename Whiskey
Lake). Its rugged, compact design and high performance make the WEBS-21G0, a
perfect solution for applications in kiosk, digital signage, in-vehicle mobile video
surveillance, medical, defense and the harsh environments of factory automation.
The new rugged WEBS-21G0 is equipped with the Portwell NANO-6051, a
NANO-ITX embedded board based on the 8th generation Intel®Core®processor
product family. Processors available in this product family combine low power
consumption with high processing power and improved performance compared to
previous generation processor. The compact WEBS-21G0 embedded system also
features DDR4 SO-DIMM up to 32GB supporting 2400 MT/s; two Mini DisplayPort
(DP) on the rear I/O with resolution up to 4096 x 2160; one smart COM port for
RS-232/422/485 selected by BIOS; one audio combo jack to support Line-out and
Mic-in; and M.2 2280 key M storage. In addition, the compact 150mm x 150mm x
63mm box, WEBS-21G0, integrates a M.2 2230 key E socket interface to support WIFI,
Bluetooth, making it an ideal solution as an IoT gateway.
The rugged, fan-less design makes the WEBS-21G0 durable in harsh environment
applications, such as factory automation and industrial automation. The rugged and
compact WEBS-21G0 supports a temperature range from 0ºC to 50ºC for harsh
environment operations, while at the same time, its fan-less design ensures silent
operation, reliability and low maintenance rate and costs. In addition, it has already
passed a vibration test of 3Grms/ 10~500Hz and a shock test of 50G, assuring its
solidity and reliability. In addition, the system accepts 12V input voltage.
With its superior processing power, high capability and support for 4K resolution
(4096 x 2160), Portwell’s WEBS-21G0 is indeed an ideal solution for high computing
power and/or high 3D video/image applications.
1.2 Check List
The WEBS-21G0 package should cover the following basic items:
