Mini industrial terminal with Linux

TQ Components gets small: The mini industrial terminal in the size of a Slimline disk drive. The TB5200 Tiny Box integrates powerful communication interfaces with high processing performance in a tiny space.

The TB5200 is based on the TQM5200 embedded module and the MPC5200 PowerPC processor by Freescale. With 760 MIPS at 400 MHz, the Freescale processor offers sufficient performance for use as Soft SPS hardware and a control or arithmetic unit in an industrial environment.
The module offers all the functions of the MPC5200 and supplements them with additional features. Despite the diminutive dimensions of 125 x 105 x 30 mm³, the aluminum Tiny Box offers numerous interfaces and functions. In addition to the PoE Ethernet (100BaseT), there are two serial interfaces (HW handshake – RTS/CTS and touch), two USB interfaces and CAN. The USB interfaces can offer a maximum 500 mA for external devices.

The user can simultaneously connect two displays with different contents. A VGA and a 18-bit TFT interface are available. A touch display is controlled via the RS-232. The SM501 integrated graphic controller offers resolutions up to 1280 x 1024. With an 8 MByte internal graphics memory, the SM501 attains high-level performance and can also produce complex graphic user interfaces.

Other features: Installed compact flash serves as mass storage of nearly unlimited size. Up to 32 Mbytes are available on the on-board flash memory, however. The working memory can be equipped with 16 MBytes to 256 MBytes SDRAM depending on the module features. Furthermore, up to 1 MByte SRAM and 64 KBit EEPROM is integrated in the module.

A realtime clock with battery buffering is also featured. The TB5200 runs on 10 to 30 Volts or PoE. The voltage supply for the TFT backlight comes from an internal 12 Volt controller.

The TB5200 comes standard with Linux 2.4. Based on the MPC5200 embedded processor, there are numerous other operating systems and BSP offered by other real-time operating system manufacturers. A complete set of manuals are included in the delivery in addition to the plug-in power supply and the tool CD. Users can download the most recent ELDK development environment for Linux from the TQ website as well as adapted software for qt/Embedded or Micro Windows. TB5200 optionally comes with a top hat rail holder.

The TB5200 works in an extended temperature range and the lower power loss of the processor (approximately 2 Watt) enables passive cooling. As is the case with all Freescale-based embedded products, the TB5200 will remain available for at least 5-10 years.
