GX-6300 product line
The GX-6300 series is a high-performance, industrial-grade Linux-based embedded computer product family for versatile tasks in wireless M2M communication and IoT connectivity. The modern Kernel 4 based GX-6300 Embedded Computer System is ideal for connecting devices, machines and systems to the internet.
Several product variants are available, customer-specific designs are possible.
Industrial interface equipment
The GX-6300 system supports a 10/100 Mbit Ethernet interface, up to 3 CAN bus interfaces in the standards 2.0A and 2.0, two 480MBit/s USB host interfaces, RS422-, RS485- RS232-, MBus-, 1-Wire- und I2C-nterfaces. In addition, up to 8 isolated digital inputs and 8 digital outputs are possible. The 400 MHz ARM system is equipped with 256 MB of internal flash memory and 128 MB of DDR RAM. A microSD card slot is available as a removable mass storage.
Modern and open Linux system
The GX-6300 system comes with a modern, ready-to-run kernel 4 based Linux system. There are two Linux distributions available. A Debian system as well as a compact buildroot-based system. Both systems can be selected on the fly. The open Linux system is freely programmable and configurable. The processing time is very short, applications can be realized quickly, simply and cost-effectively.
Power supply with wide range input
The power supply can be supplied with DC voltages between 8 and 40 volts. The supply input is reverse polarity protected and protected against overvoltages.
Intelligent control of the power supply
Optionally, an external control of the switch-on and switch-off process is available. The power is switched on and off via a status input. The shutdown process is automatically controlled by software so that a safe and controlled shutdown of the computer is ensured.
Maximum operational safety
The GX-6300 Embedded Computer produces virtually no heat thanks to the very low power consumption. Operation is fanless and without moving parts. The reliability of the software system is optimally supported by the integrated hardware watchdog for 24/7 operation.
Action button
The ActionButton is a small concealed button that allows you to start a user-specific program. Thus, desired actions can be carried out in a simple manner on the spot.

Datasheets
Powercontrol
With the option PowerControl, the plug for the power supply has a three-pole design. Two poles remain unchanged for the power supply of the device. The third pole is a status line which is e.g. can be connected directly to the ignition terminal, the terminal 15. The device switches on only when the ignition is switched on. If the ignition is switched off, this is signaled to the operating system, which in turn signals the switch-off request to the application. The application can then perform all necessary work, such as closing files, terminating programs and services etc., and then, if necessary, shut down the operating system and shut down the computer.Extended operating temperature
With the "Extended operating temperature" option, the GX-6300 can be operated in the following temperature ranges.-30 ° C .. + 80 ° C (non-condensing) Operation without restrictions
-40 ° C .. + 85 ° C (non-condensing) Restricted Operation
Restricted operation affects the integrated 4G module. Restricted operation allows the module to operate normally, but it may be possible that 3GPP specifications are not fully respected with regard to the sensitivity of the receiver.
Bracket
The Bracket option is used to easily mount the RX-8400 In-Vehicle Computer on level mounting surfaces. This ensures a stable and easy mounting of the GX-6300.Bracket with rubber buffer
If a fixed mounting of the GX-6300 3G/LTE Embedded Computer is not possible due to vibrations and impacts, the holder is available with integrated rubber buffers. This can reliably shield vibrations and impacts from the device.DINrail holder horizontal
The horizontal DINrail holder allows the GX-6300 3G/LTE Embedded Computer to be attached to a standard DINrail. The horizontal mounting variant is selected if the available space is limited to the front.DINrail holder vertical
The vertical DINrail holder allows the GX-6300 3G/LTE Embedded Computer to be attached to a standard DINrail. The vertical mounting option is selected when the space is limited on the side.
