OnLogic Introduces ML100G-42 Industrial-Grade NUC for Edge IoT Applications
Industrial computer manufacturer OnLogic has unveiled the ML100G-42, a compact and robust NUC designed to meet the demands of edge IoT computing. This mini PC, set to be officially launched soon, stands out with its reliance on the AMD Ryzen 7 8840U processor and its fanless passive cooling design, catering to industrial-grade requirements.
Specifications and Processor Details
At the heart of the ML100G-42 is the AMD Ryzen 7 8840U processor, part of the "Hawk Point" family. This processor features an 8-core, 16-thread Zen 4 CPU, integrated Radeon 780M GPU, and a 16 TOPS NPU for acceleration of specific computing tasks. The processor's thermal design power (TDP) is 28W by default but can be configured to as low as 15W for optimized energy efficiency.
Compact and Efficient Design
The ML100G-42 measures 142×107×61.5 mm, emphasizing a compact form factor suitable for space-constrained environments. Its aluminum chassis features a shovel-tooth fin design to enhance heat dissipation without requiring active cooling, making it highly durable for industrial environments.
Expandable Memory and Storage
The device includes dual DDR5 memory slots to accommodate high-speed memory configurations. For storage, the system offers two PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, providing flexibility for SSD installations that meet the demands of edge computing workloads.
Networking and Connectivity
The ML100G-42 is equipped with dual wired network interfaces utilizing Realtek RTL8111H and RTL8125BG controllers. This setup provides 1GbE and 2.5GbE RJ45 ports for reliable and fast data transmission. Additionally, the mini PC has a reserved M.2 slot for wireless network card expansion.
Front and Rear I/O Interfaces
OnLogic has incorporated a versatile set of I/O options to support industrial applications:
Front Panel:
- 2 full-function USB4 ports supporting DP1.4 Alt mode and 15W power delivery.
- 1 USB-A port (10Gbps).
- 1 two-in-one audio jack.
- An optional RS-232 COM serial port for legacy devices.
Rear Panel:
- 2 USB 2.0 ports.
- 2 HDMI outputs for multi-monitor setups.
- 1 2.5GbE RJ45 port and 1 1GbE RJ45 port.
- A second optional RS-232 COM serial port for additional connectivity.
Durability and Support
OnLogic states that the ML100G-42 is designed to operate in ambient temperatures ranging from 0°C to +50°C, making it suitable for various industrial settings. The expected operational lifespan is three years, with warranty options including a basic two-year and an extended five-year coverage.
The ML100G-42 represents a noteworthy addition to OnLogic's portfolio, combining AMD's cutting-edge processing power with a durable, fanless design optimized for edge IoT tasks.
