Product Overview

A growing trend in industrial automation

is to use virtualization technology to

combine what were previously discrete

subsystems into a single system. The

Intel® Industrial Solutions System

Consolidation Series greatly simplifies this

effort by pre-integrating key software

and hardware components, thus reducing

development time for original equipment

manufacturers (OEMs). Systems based

on this integrated solution should enable

product manufacturers to reduce cost

and complexity because multiple factory

functions are consolidated, resulting in

decreased operating expense, factory

footprint, energy consumption, and

The solution contains an industrial

computer with a power-efficient, quad-

core Intel® Core™ i7 processor with Intel®

and supports common I/O for industrial

applications such as RS-232/422/485,

USB 2.0 and 3.0, Ethernet, VGA+DVI

dual-display output by DVI-I connector,

and mini-PCI Express* sockets. The

platform is fanless and ruggedized

for use in industrial environments and

includes a minimum 120 GB solid-state

drive and 16 GB DDR3 memory. The

solution integrates a production-ready

virtualization software stack with three

preconfigured virtual machines (VMs)

running a combination of real-time and

embedded operating systems. Developers

can utilize the two instances of Wind

River VxWorks* RTOS to run applications

with real-time performance requirements

while simultaneously running embedded

and/or general-purpose applications on

Wind River Linux* 5.0. To help developers

port their applications to the multi-

OS environment, the development kit

provides the Wind River Workbench*

development environment.

The Intel Industrial Solutions System

Consolidation Series comprises two types

of kits:

• Development kit: provides hardware,

software, documentation, and a

Wind River Workbench development

environment for engineers looking to

accelerate and simplify their system

development.

• Production kit: contains pre-validated

hardware and key software ingredients

essential for OEMs to manufacture

their consolidated industrial computing

devices.
