Diamond Systems JETBOX FLOYD-SC NVIDIA Jetson Nano, TX2 NX and Xavier NX DIN Rail Embedded PCs

Control cabinets fill up fast, and an AI node has to share the DIN rail with PLCs, power supplies and terminal blocks. Diamond Systems built the JETBOX FLOYD-SC series of DIN rail embedded PCs for that space. Each JETBOX FLOYD-SC puts an NVIDIA Jetson module on Diamond’s Floyd SC carrier board inside a steel and aluminium enclosure, with an integrated heat sink cover that removes the need for a fan and shelf or DIN rail mounting as standard.

The Floyd SC BB02 carrier supports every Nano-size module, and the features available depend on the installed module. Each unit has HDMI and DisplayPort outputs, one USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 ports, one RS-232 port, one RS-232/485 port and eight GPIO lines on an 11-position screw terminal block with 3.3 V or 5 V levels. With the Xavier NX module, a second Gigabit Ethernet port comes into use and one CAN port can replace a serial port. An internal M.2 NVMe socket adds up to 2 TB of storage beyond the module’s own flash, and the JetPack-based Linux OS comes preprogrammed. The terminal block takes the eight GPIO lines, two ground connections and one power connection, and a jumper on the main board selects the 3.3 V or 5 V level.

Five models cover the range. The JB-FLDSC-NAO-02 uses Jetson Nano 4GB, the JB-FLDSC-TNX-02 uses Jetson TX2 NX, and the JB-FLDSC-XNX-02 uses Jetson Xavier NX, which NVIDIA rates at 21 TOPS, with dual Gigabit Ethernet. For teams that buy and program their own modules, the JB-FLDSC-BASE-02 and the JB-FLDSC-BASE-01 are system kits with every component except the Jetson module, built on the BB02 and BB01 carrier boards.

Every JETBOX FLOYD-SC accepts 7-24 V DC, runs from -25 to +80 °C across the full range of the Jetson modules and ships with a 12 V AC adapter. Typical installs include machine vision in packaging and inspection cells, building and energy monitoring, edge gateways and small robotics controllers, where Diamond Systems’ DIN rail embedded PCs fit beside the rest of the cabinet. With no fan, there is no filter to clean and one less moving part inside a closed cabinet.
