Revision History

System Overview

Introduction

• Portwell Inc., a world-leading innovator in the Industrial PC (IPC) market, announced LYNX- 6000 Series system, a compact, fan-less and cable-less PC adapting low power Intel® Apollo Lake processor. Developed to meet heavy industrial standards, the rugged design makes sure its reliability as well as stability to work in harsh environment.
• The modular design enhances the flexible of I/O demand and offers more opportunities to fulfilled different applications. LYNX- 6000 Series is empowered by Intel® Celeron® N3350 (6W TDP), which integrates the low power the 8th generation Intel® HD Graphics architecture. The palm-sized LYNX-6000 series includes LYNX-6110, LYNX-612E and LYNX-612G system, and this series provides basic features which is 4GB onboard LPDDR4, 2400 MT/s, non-ECC, up to 8GB; two USB 3.0; one DisplayPort (DP) with resolution up to 3840 x 2160; two Ethernet RJ-45 LAN port; and 32GB onboard eMMC 5.0 flash, up to 256GB; one M.2 Key E 2230 for wireless module. In addition, through the modular design, LYNX-6000 series provides extended I/O interfaces e.g. LYNX-612E features except not only the basic I/O but also two COM port (1x RS-232; 1 x RS-232/422/485 BIOS Configurable); one M.2 Key B 2242; one full-size Mini-PCIe expansion. In LYNX-612G , it applies with extended I/O interface two RS-232 COM port; four USB 2.0; one M.2 Key B 2242; one full-size Mini-PCIe expansion.
• The robust, fan-less design makes the LYNX- 6000 Series durable in harsh environment applications, such as industrial automation, smart factory, edge computing, and IIoT gateway applications. The rugged and compact LYNX- 6000 Series supports a temperature range from 0ºC to 50ºC for harsh environment operation. In addition, it has already passed a vibration test of DIN-rail mounting 1Grms/ 10~500Hz and a shock test of 15G, assuring its solidity and reliability. In addition, the system accepts 12V-30VDC input voltage.
