The World’s First Award-winning ATEX-certified Embedded System

CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif. - June 17, 2014 - PRLog -- Axiomtek, one of the world's leading designers and manufacturers of innovative, high performance and reliable PC-based industrial computer products, has introduced rBOX101-6COM(ATEX), the world's first ATEXcertified, rugged intelligent DIN-rail fanless embedded computer system. The rBOX101-6COM(ATEX) received the prestigious 2014 Taiwan Excellence Award for excellent in Design and Research and Development (R&D). The system’s anti-explosive feature provides great operational reliability and stability in potentially explosive environments.


This advanced embedded controller can operate in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +70°C (-40°F to +158°F). With a compact form factor and IP30 housing, it is ideal for both indoor and outdoor industrial applications.

“To fulfill different application needs, Axiomtek’s compact rBOX101-6COM(ATEX) comes equipped with ATEX anti-explosive certification and many safety compliances,” said Eric Chiang, associate vice president of Product & Marketing Division at Axiomtek. “This high performance system offers two choices of Intel® Atom™ processors - Z510PT (1.1 GHz) or Z520PT (1.33 GHz) - with Intel® US15WPT chipset. It has great connectivity and expansion capabilities. Its front accessible I/O cabling is convenient for wiring and maintenance. Equipped with AXView monitoring software, this ruggedized din-rail embedded system is set out to be a total intelligent computing and communication solution in critical environments such as power utility, gas station, refinery, mine fields, and more.”

Isolated Port Design
To prevent ESD and over-voltage, this robust unit is equipped with six isolated COM ports (RS-232/422/485), one isolated 10/100/1000Mbps and one isolated 10/100Mbps Ethernet ports as well as one isolated DIO (4-IN/4-OUT) port for magnetic isolation protection.

ATEX anti-explosive certification and more Safety & EMI compliance
The versatile and robust system has obtained the ATEX anti-explosive. In addition, it meets many safety requirements to provide higher operational reliability and stability such as UL508, Heavy Industrial CE, FCC Part 18, UL/cUL60950-1, IEC60068 and EN50121-4.

Intelligent AXView & SNMP V1/V2c
The rBOX101-6COM(ATEX) features SNMP V1/V2csupport for secured network management.  To streamline implementation of management applications, Axiomtek has launched exclusive “AXView” monitoring software package to assist its customers in building their own management systems. Axiomtek AXView also contains a variety of easy-to-use management utilities, agent services, libraries and more.
