The AIMB-522 features the AMD Ryzen™ Embedded 5000 Series processor with Zen 3 performance, delivering superior processing power and efficiency. The instructions per cycle, 16 cores, and L3 cache provided by Zen 3 make it an ideal choice for latency-sensitive applications in smart manufacturing, automated visual inspection, and intelligent surveillance. These performance gains are achieved without increasing power consumption or TDP. In fact, the 7nm process enables the AMD Ryzen™ Embedded 5000 Series to deliver a 24% increase in energy efficiency and a 2.8x faster delivery time compared to the previous generation and competing architectures, respectively.
The AIMB-522 includes four Gigabit Ethernet ports and eight USB 3.2 10Gbps ports. These interfaces provide comprehensive connectivity for high-performance data cameras with transfer bandwidths of up to 350 MB/s and/or 60 fps. These features allow the AIMB-522 to integrate more than 10 high-quality video cameras without additional peripheral cards. For further connectivity, the four built-in PCI-Express slots offer the flexibility to support additional camera devices or industrial controllers with expansion cards.
The Advantech AIMB-522 supports one standard PCI-Express x16 Gen4 bus for demanding graphics applications. In addition, its two PCI-Express x4 slots provide the necessary expandability for integrating robotic controller cards, and the built-in M.2 M-Key input supports high-speed SSDs for real-time OS operations. This expandability of industrial peripherals enables the AIMB-522 to enhance factory automation and controller upgrades and facilitates AI-based image processing.
