SECO has unveiled a new HMI family of smart displays called the “Modular Vision” with NXP i.MX 93 (Arm), NXP i.MX 8M (Arm), or Intel Elkhart Lake (x86) powered SMARC 2.1-compliant system-on-modules and a display size ranging from 7-inch up to 15.6-inch.
The goal is to offer a flexible platform to customers who can select various display sizes (7-inch, 10.1-inch, or 15.6-inch currently) and a SMARC module that closely matches the product’s requirements for example for a standalone panel PC.
SECO Modular Vision key features and specifications:
- SoC
- 7-inch model – NXP i.MX93 single or dual-core Arm Cortex-A55 @ 1.7 GHz, Arm Cortex-M33 @ 250MHz, Arm Ethos U-65 microNPU
- 10.1-inch model – NXP i.MX 8M Plus dual or quad-core Arm Cortex-A53 @ 1.8 GHz, Arm Cortex-M7 @ 800MHz, optional GPU/VPU/2.3 TOPS NPU
- 15.6-inch model – Intel Atom x6000E, Pentium, and Celeron N and J Series “Elkhart Lake” CPUs with Intel UHD graphics (12 different SKUs available)
- Memory
- 7-inch model – Up to 2GB LPDDR4X/LPDDR4-3200
- 10.1-inch model – Up to 6GB LPDDR4-4000
- 15.6-inch model – Up to 16GB LPDDR4x with ECC (if supported, Atom parts)
- Storage – eMMC 5.1 flash, SD card interface
- Display
- 7.0-inch display with 1024 x 600 resolution, P-Cap (Projected Capacitive touch screen)
- 10.1-inch display with 1280 x 800 resolution, P-Cap
- 15.6-inch display with 1920 x 1080 resolution, P-Cap
- Networking – Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port, optional WiFi and Bluetooth 5
- USB – 1x USB Type-C port dual role, 1x USB 2.0 Type-A port
- Serial – 2x RS232, up to 2x RS485, 1x CAN-FD
- Expansion – 1x I2C, SPI, 2x digital inputs, 2x digital outputs
- Power Supply – 9V to 32V DC
- Dimensions – 146 x 102 mm (carrier board)
- Temperature Range – 0 to 60°C
Both the Arm and x86 models run Edgehog OS (Yocto) and target applications such as coffee and vending machines, medical equipment, industrial automation, smart buildings, smart cities, and digital signage.
While the carrier board seems identical for all display sizes, the company matches the processor type (i.MX 93, i.MX 8M Plus, or Intel Elkhart Lake) to a specific size, probably for marketing purposes to simplify the offering. More configurations and display sizes will be offered in the future.
The company will formally introduce the Modular Vision family at SPS 2023 (Smart Production Solutions) taking place on November 14 to 16, 2023, in Nuremberg, Germany, but you’ll already find more details on the HMI products page and the press release.
