CASwell MEC-1100 and MEC-1200 Industrial IoT Gateways & Control Systems for Smart Factories and Energy Monitoring with IEC 61850-3 & IEEE 1613 Compliance

Taipei, Taiwan - November 6th, 2018 - CASwell has released the new industrial-grade MEC-1100 and MEC-1200 IoT gateways to enhance control and sensoring in smart factories but also for monitoring and managing energy control systems, especially with renwable energies where the highest resource utilization is indispensable.

Both compact and highly integrated solutions are based on the Intel Apollo Lake-I platform using the Intel Atom E3900 series of SoC and up to 8 GByte of 1866 MHz SO-DIMM DDR3L main memory. Two RJ-45 Gigabit-Ethernet ports - enabled by the Intel Ethernet-Controller I210-IT - and Wi-Fi 802.11n/ac are providing network functionality. This can by option be enhanced with a 3G/4G module for cellular connectivity to provide even more networking flexibility.

While the MEC-1100 is powered by the highly energy-efficient Intel Atom x5-E3930 dual-core processor, the MEC-1200 offers the choice to alternatively be equipped with the quad-core Intel Atom x5-E3940 or x7-E3950 for more processing power when needed for managing a more complex smart grid, for example. Furthermore, the MEC-1200 features four RS-485, RS-422 or RS-232 COM ports to connect legacy or other devices that require this serial interface. For a more demanding industrial environment, the MEC-1200 additionally supports wide range operating temperatures from -20°C to 70°C.

Both devices are well suited for "supervisory control and data acquisition" (SCADA) in smart factories or similar deployments and are perfect solutions when connecting a monitoring system to a photovoltaic power station for renewable energy. That's why they both are compliant with the IEC 61850-3 and the IEEE 1613 international communication standards for electric power substations.

The CASwell MEC-1200 and MEC-1100 are available in different configurations so they can be equipped according to many customer needs and networking requirements.
