Overview
VIA ARTiGO A600 Smart Automation Control System
The VIA ARTiGO A600 is an ultra-compact fanless smart automation control system featuring four 3-pole Phoenix RS-485 COM ports and support for an RS-232 port, specifically designed for enterprise IoT and M2M applications that require reliable low-power computing and extensive I/O support.
Hardware
Powered by an 800MHz VIA Cortex-A9 SoC, the VIA ARTiGO A600 integrates four 3-pole Phoenix RS-485 COM ports with full 3.75KV isolation, a COM connector for an RS-232 port, and a DIO port for 8-bit GPIO to provide dependable connections to automated equipment and machinery.
Measuring just 12.5cm x 12.5cm x 3cm (W x D x H), the VIA ARTiGO A600 features advanced 2D/3D graphics supporting OpenGL® ES 2.0 hardware acceleration and comes with an on-board Micro SD card slot, 4GB eMMC Flash memory, and 1GB DDR3 SDRAM. Other key I/O features include two Mini USB 2.0 ports, one Mini HDMI port for HMI display, one 10/100Mbps Ethernet port, and one miniPCIe slot. It can also accommodate an optional Wi-Fi module that can be supported through on-board USB pin-headers.
Software
The VIA ARTiGO A600 features an optimized Linux BSP (Kernel 3.0.8) supporting all key onboard hardware features to speed development, deployment and ease system management. A full set of software customization services that speed up time to market and minimize development costs is available.
