AI Box PACs

The AIB-2941M CR is a fanless edge AI controller built around a quad-core Cortex-A72 processor. It suits engineers who want local AI inference and edge computing in an industrial enclosure, with the option to add an accelerator module later. This variant is supplied without an accelerator, so it is the right choice when you already have a module or plan to source one separately.The unit provides a B-key M.2 socket with USB and an M-key M.2 socket with PCIe for accelerator modules or SSD storage. Communication options include two Gigabit Ethernet ports, two isolated RS-485 ports and four USB ports, plus an HDMI output for 4K display. Two isolated digital inputs and two isolated digital outputs cover basic discrete I/O, and an I/O expansion slot accepts optional XV, XB or eXV boards.The housing is metal and the unit mounts on a DIN rail or a wall. It operates from -20 to +70 °C and accepts a +12 to +48 VDC supply. Ubuntu OS, along with C and Python libraries, is provided for application development.ApplicationsEdge AI inference in industrial automationMachine vision and video analysis at the edgeIndustrial IoT gateways with serial device connectivityLocal data acquisition and control with discrete I/O

The AIB-2941M/S1 CR is an edge AI controller for engineers who need on-site inference alongside conventional I/O. It ships with a Hailo 8 Lite AI accelerator rated at 13 TOPS, so AI workloads run locally on a compact, fanless unit rather than in a remote data centre. Supported frameworks include TensorFlow, TensorFlow Lite, Keras, PyTorch and ONNX, and the Hailo RT Rev. 4.19 runtime is pre-installed.The controller is built around a quad-core Cortex-A72 64-bit SoC running at 1.5GHz, with 4GB LPDDR4 SDRAM and 32GB of on-board eMMC storage. Two 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports, two RS-485 ports with 2500 VDC isolation and four USB ports (two USB 2.0, two USB 3.0) provide connectivity to field devices and networks.Digital I/O comprises two isolated wet-contact inputs and two isolated open-collector outputs. An HDMI port supports 4Kp60 output, and an optional expansion slot accepts XV, XB or eXV boards. The metal casing is rated for -20 ~ +70 °C and can be fitted to a DIN rail or wall.ApplicationsIndustrial edge AI inferenceLocal data processing at the machine or edge nodeSerial device connection over RS-485Digital I/O monitoring and control with isolated inputs and outputs
