Crystal Group R1112 Rugged Embedded Computer

Crystal Group has introduced the R1112 Rugged Embedded Computer, designed for applications where high performance is needed in demanding environmental conditions.

The embedded computer’s efficient heat-dissipating, solid-state design makes it suitable for harsh environment automation applications such as those typically found in oil and gas production, municipal utilities, mining operations and military systems. It provides a stable automation platform with minimum maintenance.

The computer is designed for fanless operation over an extended temperature range from -40 to +60°C, and its special aluminium housing with cooling fins serves as a heat sink for conductive cooling of the internal electronics. The chassis is built to withstand the harsh environments for storage operations from -45 to +85°C. The unit mounts to multiple DIN rail options and operates from a wide voltage range of 18–36 VDC power input.

The computer is powered by Intel Core i7 and is equipped with up to 16 GB of RAM. It features one PCIe X16 low-profile expansion card and offers onboard SATA2 and SATA3.

The product has two non-removable 2.5″ SSD hard drives and supports Linux, VMWare and Windows software. It is designed for high performance in both military and industrial applications.
