Analog I/O Power Interface Board PIB101C Alstom

Product Description

The Alstom PIB101C (Part Number 3BD91299) is an advanced Analog I/O Power Interface Board designed for mission-critical industrial control and signal processing applications. Featuring a dual-core Intel Atom D2550 processor, this board offloads local logic and data preprocessing from the central controller, enabling high-speed analog signal acquisition and autonomous power management.

Built for rugged industrial environments, the PIB101C supports industrial-grade DDR3 memory, CFast storage, and PC/104-Plus expansion, making it ideal for standalone edge control or as a high-density I/O node in distributed rack or VME-based systems. Its wide-temperature tolerance and integrated hardware watchdog ensure reliable, fail-safe operation in demanding utility, transportation, and energy applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the PIB101C require active cooling?
A: No, the low-power Intel Atom D2550 is designed for passive cooling in ventilated racks. For operations near +70°C, ambient airflow is recommended.

Q: Can the PIB101C boot an operating system?
A: Yes. Its SATA and CFast interfaces allow hosting of embedded OS (Linux or Windows Embedded) for local diagnostics or autonomous control.
