Frequently Asked Questions
The front panel offers 1x USB 3.2 Gen1 (5 Gbps) port and 2x USB 2.0 ports, both with screw-lock mechanisms, a 3.5 mm 4-pole audio jack, and a DVI-I port supporting DVI and VGA output up to 1920 x 1080. Serial connectivity includes 1x isolated RS-485 port (COM1) with 15 kV ESD protection, and COM2/3/4 which can be configured as three 3-wire RS-232 ports or a single RS-422/485 port. The rear panel has four M12 X-coded Gigabit PoE+ ports (IEEE 802.3at, up to 25.5W each), a 15-pin isolated DIO port (4-CH DI, 4-CH DO), a 3-pin DC/ignition input terminal block, and a 3-pin remote on/off terminal block.
The system accepts a wide-range DC input of 8V to 35V via a 3-pin pluggable terminal block, which also carries the ignition (IGN) signal. Supplying more than 35V will damage the system. Maximum power consumption is 32W @ 35V under 100% CPU loading (12W CPU, 16GB RAM, 256GB SATA SSD), or 135W @ 35V when all four PoE+ ports are fully loaded at 25.5W each.
The Nuvo-2610VTC operates from -40°C to 70°C (EN50155 Class OT4) and can be stored from -40°C to 85°C, with 10%~90% non-condensing humidity. Note that for sub-zero or over 60°C operation, a wide-temperature HDD or SSD is required. It is rated for MIL-STD-810G vibration (Method 514.7, Category 4) and shock (Method 516.7, Procedure I), IEC61373:2010 Category 1 Class B Body Mounted vibration/shock (part of EN 50155), EMC per EN 50155:2017 Clause 13.4.8, and CE/FCC Class A per EN 55032 & EN 55035.
The system supports up to 32GB of 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 M.2 SATA SSD, plus one front-accessible 2.5" HDD/SSD tray supporting drives up to 15mm in height and up to 5TB capacity.
The system provides two full-size mini-PCIe sockets: one with PCIe and USB 2.0 signal (for WiFi, GNSS, CAN, or similar modules) and one with USB 2.0 signal only (for WiFi modules). It also has one M.2 3042/3052 B-key socket (USB 3.1 + USB 2.0) for a 4G/5G mobile broadband module, with dual internal micro-SIM sockets. Antenna openings are available on the front and rear panels for these modules.
Due to Intel's driver policy, the system officially supports Windows 10 64-bit (Professional and IoT Enterprise editions). For Linux, kernel versions up to 5.8 are supported, with Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS tested. On Linux, the Intel I210 GbE controller driver may need to be manually compiled if not already included in the kernel. A separate WDT_DIO driver package (v2.3.1.8 or later) is required for Watchdog Timer and DIO API functions.
The Nuvo-2610VTC measures 205 mm (W) x 156 mm (D) x 58 mm (H) and weighs 1.9 kg. It ships standard with a damping bracket, with an optional wall-mount bracket also available.
The Nuvo-2610VTC is the base model. The Nuvo-2611VTC adds an embedded SuperCAP UPS (2500 watt-second backup capacity) to sustain the system for a proper shutdown during power interruptions, and is taller (86.15 mm) and heavier (2.5 kg). The Nuvo-2612VTC includes a Cassette module providing an additional PCIe x4 Gen3 (2-lane) slot for an add-on card such as an AI accelerator module, and also has the same SuperCAP-style backup capacity (2500 watt-second) and 86.15 mm height, weighing 2.3 kg.
The system has four Gigabit PoE+ ports via M12 X-coded connectors, implemented using an Intel I210 controller. Each port is compliant with IEEE 802.3at and can deliver up to 25.5W to a powered device. One port (indicated in green) supports Wake-on-LAN.
