ECX-3000-4R AI Overview
Vision systems on vehicles, kiosks and roadside cabinets often have to store what they see as well as analyze it. The ECX-3000-4R AI combines four LAN ports with two front-access 2.5″ drive trays for that job. It is the four-LAN, removable-storage AI edge computer in the Vecow ECX-3000 AI series, built around a Hailo-8 accelerator.
The ECX-3000-4R AI runs 12th or 13th Gen Intel Core i9, i7, i5 and i3 processors on the Intel R680E chipset, up to the 24-core Core i9-13900E at 65 W TDP, with two DDR4 3200 MHz SO-DIMMs for up to 64 GB. The Hailo-8 AI processor adds up to 26 TOPS for TensorFlow and ONNX models, so detection and classification run on the accelerator while the CPU handles the application, and Intel UHD Graphics 770 drives up to four displays over two DisplayPort, DVI-I and HDMI.
Networking on the ECX-3000-4R AI is three Intel I226 2.5GbE ports, one with TSN, plus an Intel I219LM GbE port with iAMT. Two front-access 2.5″ SSD or HDD trays support software RAID 0 or 1. Six USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, four COM ports, 16 GPIO, a Mini PCIe socket, M.2 Key B and Key E sockets and two external SIM sockets cover field I/O and 4G, 5G or Wi-Fi modules.
The AI edge computer runs on 9 V to 50 V DC through a terminal block or 4-pin Mini-DIN, with 16-mode software ignition control for vehicle installs. Fanless operation is rated from -40 °C to 65 °C with 35 W processors and -40 °C to 45 °C with 65 W parts, backed by IEC 60068 shock and vibration testing and EN 50155 and EN 50121-3-2 EMC listings. The 260 x 175 x 79 mm Vecow chassis wall-mounts as standard, with DIN-rail and 2U rack kits optional. Where cameras need power, see the ECX-3000-PoER AI.
