BLUE BELL, Pa., 14 Nov. 2014. MEN Micro Inc. in Blue Bell, Pa., is introducing the XC15 carrier board for rugged COM Express modules in rugged embedded computing applications.

The XC15 provides physical interfaces and connectors for existing standard serial I/O, which can be routed from the COM Express connectors to the carrier board.

The board operates in temperatures from -40 to 85 degrees Celsius, has a screwed aluminum frame, offers EMC protection, and resists the effects of shock and vibration. It also protects against dust, humidity and chemicals.

The carrier board offers interfaces including one COM Express slot and seven PCI Express card slots as well as an onboard PCI Express Graphics (PEG) interface on a standard PCI Express x16 connector.

For multimedia applications, the XC15 offers one VGA, two LVDS, and three DisplayPort connectors. Four onboard SATA connectors and two CAN interfaces, available via SA-Adapters, also are included.

The carrier board supports the microATX form factor, and can operate in a PC. Additional USB ports on the front panel allow connection of USB-driven Flash disks for application storage.

The XC15 is supplied with a plug-in card for the COM Express CC10 or the rugged COM Express module CC10C. MEN Micro also provides additional accessories including external PSUs and fans, DisplayPort-to-DVI adapters as well as cables for UART and SATA.
