IoT

One of the new challenges arising with the use of edge, fog, and cloud architectures is the connection of components to each other and to the public cloud. An important element of developing a solution capturing all pieces is the IoT framework susietec

At the field, or edge level, data is collected by industrial computers, e.g. by gateways, which process, filter, analyze and act on these data in real-time right at the device.

Edge, fog and cloud applications demand increasing computing power. The interfaces to sensors or machines often require non-standard solutions. Especially in smaller machines, space is limited or restricted in some dimension and need a special solution.

Today, the connection from the sensor device to the embedded cloud takes place via real-time data communication, on sensor and edge level - for example Industrial Ethernet or fieldbuses - and gateways , which provide the transformation of real time data into the informational area.

VX3920 provides up-to 24 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports and comprehensive management features for extremely rugged 3U system designs. It implements Kontron Embedded Network Technology (same advanced feature set and operational interfaces across multiple form factors) which simplifies IPv4/v6 inter-and intra-platform networking.

Offering a switching capacity of 320Gb/s the non-blocking fully managed L2/L3 Gigabit Switch provides 24 x 10 G BaseKR ports to the backplane. Two 10 Gigabit ports are also available on the front panel through SFP+ ports, two RJ45 GETH and one RJ11 serial line ports. One GETH and the serial line port can be used for out-of-band management.

VX3920 is currenly available in an air-cooled version (0°C to +55°C) and conduction-cooled version (-40°C to + 85°C).
