Built on advanced 14nm process technology, the embedded industrial PC supports 1080P60 H.264 hardware video encoding, 1080P60 H.265 hardware decoding, and GPU graphics acceleration. The BL360 embedded computer is widely used in industrial control, edge computing gateways, AIoT, artificial intelligence, communication management, AGV robots, machine vision inspection, industrial IoT gateways, energy storage systems, automation control, and rail transit applications.
The BL360 ARM Computers offers a rich set of interface configurations, including 1 to 3 adaptive 10/100M RJ45 Ethernet ports, 2 USB 2.0 ports, an optional HDMI 2.0 port, an optional X-series I/O board, and 2 optional Y-series I/O boards, supporting communication, PWM output, pulse counting, and other data acquisition and control functions. Additionally, the device supports 1080P@60fps H.264 video encoding and 1080P@60fps H.265 video decoding. It features a built-in Mini PCIe interface, enabling expansion with Bluetooth, WiFi, 4G, and 5G modules.
The BL360 embedded industrial PC supports operating systems such as Linux-5.4.70 kernel, Yocto 3.0, and Ubuntu 20.04. It integrates Docker containers, Node-Red, and Qt-5.15.10 for graphical interface development. Equipped with the BLIoTLink industrial protocol conversion software, it supports Modbus, PLC, MQTT, and other protocols, enabling seamless integration with mainstream IoT cloud platforms and SCADA systems. Additionally, the BLRAT remote access tool allows users to perform remote maintenance, improving operational efficiency.
Product Selection Guide
The ARMxy series ARM Based Embedded Industrial PC adopt a flexible design concept, allowing users to customize ROM and RAM combinations by choosing different System-on-Module(SoM) boards as needed. Additionally, various X and Y boards can be selected to achieve diverse IO configurations, catering to the requirements of different application scenarios.
Product naming convention
Host Model Number - SoM Model Number - X Board Model Number - Y1 Board ModelNumber - Y2 Board Model Number
For example BL360-SOM360-X10, means 1 Ethernet port, 4GB eMMC storage, 1GB DDR4 memory, and 2 RS485 ports
If you need to add WiFi, then you would append "W" to the host model number. For example: BL360W-SOM360-X10
If you need to add a 4G module, you would append "L" to the host model number. For example: BL360L-SOM360-X10
