- 8-bit programmable DI/DO (GPIO)
The ARK-2250R uses an ATX power type with DC input options of 24V, 72V, or 110V (48V available by project). It is EN50155 S2/C1 compliant and connects via an M12 A-Coded (5-pin) connector. Typical power consumption is 22W, with a maximum of 55W. An optional 24V/180W AC-to-DC power adapter is available.
The ARK-2250R supports an operating temperature of -40 to 70°C with extended temperature peripherals, compliant with EN50155 TX. Storage temperature range is -40 to 85°C. It carries EN50155 S2/C1, EN50121-3-2, EN50121-4 (railway EMC), IEC61373 Category1 Class B (vibration/shock), CE/FCC Class B, CCC, BSMI, CB, and UL safety certifications. Note: the datasheet specifies no RED certification.
The system supports up to 32GB of DDR4 2133MHz memory across 2 x 260-pin SO-DIMM sockets. Storage options include 1 x 2.5" SATA drive bay and 1 x full-size mSATA socket (via Mini PCIe #1). Expansion slots include two full-size Mini PCIe slots (#1 supports SATA/PCIe/USB with external SIM socket; #2 supports PCIe/USB with external SIM socket) plus 1 x M.2 2230 E-key slot.
Microsoft Windows support includes Win7, WES7, Win8, WSE8, and Win10. Linux is supported by project request. Optional pre-installed OS SKUs include Win10 IoT Ent LTSB 2016 and WES7E 64-bit. Note: the default BIOS supports 64-bit OS only; a BIOS update is required for 32-bit OS.
Yes, the ARK-2250R includes 1 x onboard GPS GNSS module. It also has two Mini PCIe slots with external SIM sockets, allowing for cellular expansion cards.
The ARK-2250R measures 260 x 73 x 160.2mm and weighs 3.2 Kg. It has an aluminum housing and is designed for wall mounting using the included wall mounting kit (2 wall mounting brackets are part of the standard packing list).
The ARK-2250R supports stackable MIOe-based extension modules from the ARK-R series:
- AMK-R100E: 8 x 10/100/1000Base T(X) PoE (802.3at), plus 1 x removable 2.5" drive bay
- AMK-R101E: 4 x 10/100/1000Base T(X) PoE (802.3at), plus 1 x removable 2.5" drive bay
- AMK-R104E: 8 x 10/100 Base T(X) PoE (802.3at), plus 1 x removable 2.5" drive bay
- AMK-R105E: 4 x 10/100 Base T(X) PoE (802.3at), plus 1 x removable 2.5" drive bay
All modules share the ARK-2250R's -40 to 70°C EN50155 TX operating range and IEC61373 Category1 Class B shock/vibration rating.
How-to Guides
- Confirm your unit includes the 2 x wall mounting brackets listed in the standard packing list.
- Attach the wall mounting brackets to the aluminum housing of the ARK-2250R.
- Secure the unit to the wall using the mounted brackets, accounting for the unit's dimensions (260 x 73 x 160.2mm) and weight (3.2 Kg) when selecting wall anchors.
Note: The datasheet does not provide detailed torque or hardware specifications beyond identifying the wall mounting kit as the supported mounting method.
- Identify which extension module you plan to use: AMK-R100E, AMK-R101E, AMK-R104E, or AMK-R105E.
- Order the corresponding ARK-2250R base unit SKU with the "POE" suffix (for example, ARK-2250R-U0A1EPOE or ARK-2250R-S9A1EPOE), which the datasheet designates for use with these extension modules.
- Verify the ordering information and contact CoastIPC to confirm compatibility before purchasing, as noted in the datasheet.
