Avalue EMX-RLUC-1335-A1R Intel Core i5-1335U (Raptor Lake) Thin Mini-ITX Motherboard with Dual GbE and Triple Display

A production test station or an automation console typically talks to more USB devices than a compact board expects: instruments, a USB camera, a barcode scanner, a license dongle and a service keyboard. The EMX-RLUC-1335-A1R is the Core i5-1335U build of the Avalue EMX-RLUC series of Thin Mini-ITX motherboards, with six USB 3.2 Type-A ports at the rear of a 170 x 170 mm board.

Its 13th Gen Intel Core i5-1335U is a Raptor Lake processor with 10 cores, 12 threads and a 15 W TDP, which suits HMI and SCADA clients, test sequencing, vision checks and data logging running side by side. Two DDR4 3200 MHz SO-DIMM slots take up to 64 GB. Intel Iris Xe graphics drives HDMI 2.0, a DP++ 1.4a output and an internal dual-channel LVDS connector at up to 1920 x 1200, with up to three independent displays for an operator panel and two monitors.

Two GbE ports on Intel I210AT and I219LM controllers connect the plant network and a device or instrument network. Six COM headers, four RS-232 and two RS-232/485, connect PLCs and drives, and an 8-bit DIO header with four inputs and four outputs takes switches and lamps. An M.2 M-key takes an NVMe or SATA SSD, an M.2 B-key with a SIM connector takes a 4G or 5G module, an M.2 E-key takes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and a SATA port adds a drive. A PCIe x8 slot with x4 Gen 4 signal takes a capture, fieldbus or I/O card.

The EMX-RLUC-1335-A1R runs from 12 V DC on a terminal block or a 4-pin connector, with AT or ATX modes set by jumper. It operates from 0 to 60 °C with an active CPU cooler and carries CE, FCC, UKCA and RoHS compliance.
