Click2Contact

Crystal Group is expanding its Rugged Embedded (RE) product line with the RE1012 Rugged Embedded Computer. The feature-rich, configurable RE1012 is engineered with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technologies, including Intel chipsets and processors, stabilised in a compact, rugged enclosure to provide robust compute power over a long operational life in extreme environments.

The high-performance computer combines a six-core Intel Xeon D-1528 processor, up to 128 GB of ECC DDR4 RAM, two internal 2.5″ SATA solid-state drive (SSD) bays and one internal m.2 SSD bay, and flexible I/O in a rugged package measuring 6.1 x 40.5 x 28 cm and weighing 3.4 kg. Providing server-class performance in a compact, embedded footprint, the computer comes in a fully customisable, scalable system to meet both current and future requirements.

The product’s high-quality components sit in a rugged enclosure billet-constructed from milled, strain-hardened aluminium. Its fanless design employs passively cooled heat-pipe technology and has no moving parts, reducing noise and maintenance. The product can be panel or rack mounted and comes with a variety of power options for AC and DC inputs.

The product has been designed and tested with remote electrical substations in mind, meeting or exceeding IEC-61850 and IEEE 1613 standards and complying with Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 5A992. Surge protection is built in and it is virtually maintenance-free, with good performance in harsh conditions including temperature extremes, high shock and vibration, as well as elements such as humidity, high altitudes, salt spray and dust.
