Sealevel Systems has released four new additions to the company’s Relio line of embedded computers. Featuring the latest generation of industrial processors and a modernized video interface, the Relio R1 Rugged computers offer versatile communication capabilities and are designed for harsh-environment applications such as autonomous vehicles.
The new Relio R1 Rugged Industrial Computers feature anodized aluminum enclosures combined with intentional thermal management for unmitigated performance under environmental extremes. The fanless solid-state designs, combined with locking SeaLATCH USB connectors, ensure shock and vibration tolerance as well as long-term reliability. The systems achieve up to a -40°C to 71°C wide operating temperature range and outperform military standards for shock and vibration.
Versatile communication comes standard with the R1 Rugged computers, including CAN, Wi-Fi, RS-232/RS-485, and Ethernet capability. With a robust and flexible I/O mix, these rugged industrial computers are capable of managing a variety of data inputs to interface with legacy systems and the most advanced peripherals. The embedded computers’ COM Express Type 6 architecture allows for technology migration to easily change and upgrade the CPU functionality without a complete system redesign or replacement.
The R1 Rugged computers are compatible with Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, Windows 11 Pro, Linux RHEL 8 (or later), and Linux Ubuntu 21 (or later). The systems are also Windows 11 IoT-ready to provide maximum flexibility for evolving customer-specific software applications. Sealevel’s SeaCOM hardware drive is included to support system I/O. Serial application code samples assist with custom application development and complete support documentation expedites configuration.
Earle Foster, Sr VP of Sales for Sealevel, commented: “This new family of computers capitalizes on the success of our existing Relio computers and synchronous servers while providing the future-looking processing power and diverse I/O that customers expect from Sealevel. We launched the Relio line with the goal of advancing defense applications and industries with particularly extreme environments, like oil and gas. Now, we are seeing adoption across industrial automation and transportation as well. With the increased capabilities offered by these R1 Rugged Computers, we’re looking forward to increased support for our customers as they upgrade control systems and create new, more mobile, and portable solutions, too.”
