Frequently Asked Questions
The Nuvo-2600 provides:
- 4x Gigabit Ethernet ports (RJ-45, screw-lock) via Intel® I210, supporting PoE+ (802.3at)
- 1x USB 3.1 Gen1 (5 Gbps) port with screw-lock
- 2x USB 2.0 ports with screw-lock
- 1x DVI-I connector offering both DVI and VGA output (up to 1920x1080)
- 1x isolated RS-485 port (COM1) with 15 kV ESD protection
- 3x 3-wire RS-232 ports or 1x RS-422/485 port (COM2/3/4, software-configurable)
- 1x 3.5 mm 4-pole audio jack for mic-in/speaker-out
- 4-channel isolated digital input and 4-channel isolated digital output
The system accepts 8V to 35V wide-range DC input through a 3-pin pluggable terminal block, which also carries the optional ignition signal. Supplying more than 35V will damage the unit. Measured power consumption (12W CPU, 16GB RAM, 256GB SATA SSD, 100% CPU load) is about 32W at 35V, and up to 135W at 35V when all four PoE+ ports are fully loaded at 25.5W each.
The Nuvo-2600 operates from -25°C to 70°C and can be stored from -40°C to 85°C, with 10%~90% non-condensing humidity. It is rated for MIL-STD-810G vibration (Method 514.7, Category 4) and shock (Method 516.7, Procedure I), and is CE/FCC Class A compliant per EN 55032 & EN 55035. Note: for sub-zero or above-50°C ambient operation, a wide-temperature HDD or SSD is required.
The Nuvo-2600 supports up to 32GB DDR4-3200 SDRAM via one SO-DIMM socket. For storage, it has one internal M.2 2280 M-key slot (SATA signal only) for an SSD, plus one front-accessible 2.5" HDD/SSD tray (7-15mm height, up to 5TB capacity).
Due to Intel's driver policy, the Nuvo-2600 officially supports Windows 10 64-bit (Professional and IoT Enterprise editions). For Linux, Neousys has tested Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS with a 5.8 kernel; users may need to manually compile the Intel® I210 GbE driver if it is not built into the kernel. Neousys also provides a separate driver package for Watchdog Timer (WDT) control.
The Nuvo-2600 measures 205 mm (W) x 155/156 mm (D) x 86/86.15 mm (H). The Nuvo-2600E weighs 2.3 kg and the Nuvo-2600J (with SuperCAP UPS) weighs 2.5 kg. An optional wall-mount bracket kit is available.
Yes. The system has two full-size mini-PCIe sockets (one with PCIe + USB 2.0 signal, one with USB 2.0 signal only) for wireless modules such as WiFi, and one M.2 3042/3052 B-key socket with dual internal micro-SIM sockets to support 4G/5G mobile broadband modules. Antenna openings are provided on the front and rear panels.
The Nuvo-2600E includes a patented Cassette module with a PCIe x4 slot (2-lane PCIe 3.0) for installing a single-slot PCIe add-on card, such as a USB or GbE frame grabber. The Nuvo-2600J instead has an integrated 2500 watt-second SuperCAP UPS power backup module, but does not have the PCIe Cassette slot.
Each Gigabit PoE+ port is compliant with IEEE 802.3at PoE+ PSE and can deliver up to 25.5W to a connected powered device. The total PoE+ power budget across all ports is 100W. The ports are also backward compatible with 802.3af (PoE) devices.
