Rugged and Maintenance-Free
The BC51R is a maintenance-free box computer that has been designed, e.g., for data acquisition applications in rugged environments. All interfaces are implemented on rugged M12 connectors (USB, digital input and output, Gigabit Ethernet, CAN and legacy serial interfaces). The housing is compliant to the IP65 protection class.

Wireless Functionality
On the inside, the system offers two PCI Express Mini cards with two SIM card slots for WLAN/Bluetooth and 3G/4G functionality. The necessary antenna connectors as well as a GNSS interface are available at the front panel.

Solid Performance, Solid Housing
The BC51R is powered by an Intel Atom processor from the E3900 series running at up to 1.6 GHz. Other dual/quad core processors of the Intel Atom E3900 series can be used, giving high scalability in CPU performance. The system is designed for fanless operation at temperatures from -40 °C to +70 °C (+85 °C for up to 10 minutes), its special aluminum housing with cooling fins serves as a heat sink for the internal electronics and in this way provides conduction cooling.

Designed for In-Vehicle Operation
The BC51R supports a 24 V DC and 36 V DC nom. class S2 power supply in compliance with EN 50155. Power supplies complying with ISO 7637-2 (E-mark for automotive) can also be used. The power can be switched on and off using an ignition signal on the power connector, and a shutdown-delay time after switching off the ignition signal can be adjusted by software. Long-Term Availability Long-term availability ensures an extended product life and future-safety.
