Arestech MEVA-3110 8th/9th Gen Intel Core Extended Temperature Machine Vision Computer with 6x USB 3.2

With USB3 and GigE cameras now common, plenty of inspection jobs no longer need a frame grabber at all, and a slot-free computer keeps the enclosure narrow and the build simpler. The Arestech MEVA-3110 is that model in the MEVA-3110 family, an industrial machine vision computer 92.6 mm wide that shares its Core i3, i5 and i7 board with the MEVA-3111P/E and MEVA-3112P/E slot models.

Compute comes from 9th or 8th Gen Intel Core i3, i5 or i7 desktop processors in the LGA1151 socket on an Intel Q370 chipset. Two DDR4 2400/2666 SO-DIMM sockets hold up to 64 GB, and Intel UHD Graphics 630 drives VGA and DVI-D at up to 1920 x 1200 plus DisplayPort at up to 4096 x 2160, so the MEVA-3110 can run image processing and an operator display together.

The MEVA-3110 has no PCI or PCIe slots and instead carries four flexible I/O window slots for factory I/O options, keeping the enclosure to 92.6 mm wide. Three GbE ports on RJ45, an Intel i219-LM and two Intel i210-AT, support Wake-on-LAN and PXE, six RS-232/422/485 DB9 ports with auto flow control and 8x isolated DI plus 8x isolated DO handle triggers and machine signals, and six USB 3.2 plus two USB 2.0 ports serve cameras. Four removable 2.5″ SATA bays support RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10, and four full-size mini-PCIe sockets with four SIM holders take LTE or Wi-Fi modules.

With a 35 W processor the MEVA-3110 runs fanless from -40 °C to 70 °C, and with a 65 W processor and Arestech’s external fan kit it is rated to 60 °C. Power enters through a terminal block at 9 to 48 V DC, with ignition sensing and over-voltage, reverse-voltage and over-current protection. Vibration is rated at 5 Grms and shock at 50 G, and the machine vision computer measures 92.6 x 241.5 x 231 mm and weighs 3.95 kg. Where a frame grabber or motion card is required, the slot-equipped MEVA-3111P/E and MEVA-3112P/E series use the same board.
