Arestech MEVA-2010 Intel Celeron J1900 Compact Machine Vision PCs with 6x COM

Plenty of vision and control jobs do not need a Core-class processor: a barcode or presence check, a single GigE camera feeding a pass/fail decision, or a motion controller talking to drives over serial. What they do need is a fanless unit that survives the cabinet, plus room for the one interface card the project depends on. The Arestech MEVA-2010 series covers that ground with compact machine vision PCs built on the Intel Celeron J1900, and two of the three models add a pair of expansion slots that Arestech fits through a side-mounted module.

All three models share one board. The Celeron J1900 runs at up to 2.42 GHz with integrated Intel HD Graphics and a single DDR3L 1066/1333 SO-DIMM socket for up to 8 GB. Two Intel i210-AT GbE ports support Wake-on-LAN and PXE, six RS-232/422/485 DB9 ports with auto flow control and 4x isolated DI and 4x isolated DO handle machine signals, and a DVI-I port plus a DisplayPort output at up to 2560 x 1600 drive two screens. Storage combines one removable and one internal 2.5″ SATA bay with a CFast socket and an mSATA socket, and two full-size mini-PCIe sockets with two SIM holders take Wi-Fi or LTE modules. Windows 10 IoT or Professional and Linux are both supported, and a remote power on/off connector lets the unit be switched from a cabinet door.

The MEVA-2010 is the slim 73.5 mm-wide base model with no add-in slots. The MEVA-2012E adds an expansion module with two PCIe x4 slots (1-lane) for current frame grabbers, motion or I/O cards, and the MEVA-2012P carries two legacy PCI slots in the same 127 mm-wide enclosure, so older PCI cards can move onto a supported system without a redesign.

Power comes in at 9 to 48 V DC through a 3-pin terminal block with ignition sensing, a PC/car mode switch and over-voltage, reverse-voltage and over-current protection. The MEVA-2010 series runs fanless from -40 °C to 70 °C, with vibration rated at 5 Grms and shock at 50 G, and mounts on a wall or stand. That suits these compact machine vision PCs to inspection stations, conveyor checks, access points and motion-control cabinets where a J1900 is enough compute and the environment is the harder part.
