Beijing Jizhida Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise integrating independent R&D, production, system integration, sales and service. We have been committed to the development and promotion of modern industrial control and embedded products. The X86 platform with the Windows operating system has become the mainstream of embedded and industrial control products with powerful computing power and friendly operation interfaces. However, we have been accompanied by the high power consumption of the X86 platform. The troubles are: difficulty in heat dissipation, low system stability, inability to work uninterruptedly for a long time, and the need for special personnel for maintenance. A low-power, high-reliability, maintenance-free high-performance platform that does not require fan cooling has always been our goal. JITZ is building a new industrial control and embedded system platform along the upstream and downstream of this industry chain. -----ARM industrial control core board.
Early ARM products were mostly used for automatic control, such as automotive brake systems, power transmission solutions, mixed-signal devices, smart sensors, etc. As the processing power of the CPU was weak, the processing power of display and streaming media has always been the weakness of ARM. . With the promotion of smart phones and tablet computers, mobile computing has become increasingly demanding for multimedia processing capabilities. Because X86 is high-powered and bulky and unsuitable for mobile devices, this brings huge opportunities for low-power ARMs. The processing power of ARM continues to increase with the increase in application requirements: the frequency is constantly increasing, single-core becomes multi-core, VGA, LVDS, HDMI various display interfaces begin to support, and MPEG2, MPEG4, and H.264 streaming media in various compression formats. The DSP is integrated, and so on, which makes ARM widely used in various consumer electronics such as smartphones, digital TVs, home gateways, smartbooks, and e-book readers. X86 has not been seen here.
Traditional industrial control and modern embedded fields such as POS and lottery machines are also the X86 market. Products in these industries do not need to be moved. However, the stability and security requirements for these systems are extremely high. ARM has low power consumption and high power consumption. The characteristics of reliability exactly meet the needs of this market. Why can ARMs such as A8\A9 with high performance not be widely used in industrial control and embedded systems? This is because industrial control and embedded systems require more external interfaces such as POS machines. In addition to the VGA and LVDS displays, multiple COM ports and multiple USB ports are used to connect external devices such as scanners and card readers. GPIO and other digital input and output interfaces are required to control the opening and closing of the cash box. The external interface is a traditional consumer electronics company unwilling to do, on the one hand will increase the cost of hardware, on the other hand also put a lot of manpower and material resources to do debugging on a variety of external devices, who would be willing to add some on the tablet The use of the COM interface has yet another dimension. Traditional ARM vendors have received huge returns in the consumer electronics market. The annual shipments are in the hundreds of millions. Who will? Willing to support a small amount of market demand for interface equipment, such a good computing platform can not be applied in the field of embedded and industrial control.
As the leading manufacturer of industrial control and embedded in China, we have the obligation to bring good computing platforms to the application of national basic industries. We are obliged to bring good computing platforms to the modern world that are closely related to people's lives. In the embedded industry, we integrated upstream ARM manufacturers, Android\Linux software vendors, integrated CNC systems, POS machines, queuing machines, large-screen advertising machines, self-service equipment, and industrial control and embedded downstream vendors to develop ARM. Industrial control core board, below is the structure diagram of the core board:
 From the structure diagram, we can see that the core board includes the CPU, memory and FLASH, and the external interfaces such as HDMI, LVDS, COM, USB, and SDIO all extend from the 204-pin SO-DIMM interface. This expansion interface is the notebook we are familiar with. Memory interface, the reason for choosing this interface is that the memory interface has been widely used in the industrial control industry and is very stable. On the other hand, its material procurement is easy and inexpensive. The signal of each pin angle of the 204pin interface is set by Zhida, each of which Industrial control or embedded manufacturers can expand the backplane for their own applications through the 204pin interface, such as a backplane for 4COM, 4USB, 8GPIO, 2LAN, HDMI, VGA interfaces. This is quite easy, of course, JITZ also did In line with the common base plate of most industries for everyone to choose, all this is not only the innovation of TDK, but also a revolution in the industrial control industry. Under the promotion of TDK, a high performance, low power consumption, high reliability, and cost performance The extremely high ARM computing platform will certainly replace the traditional X86 platform in industrial control and embedded applications.
Looking to the future, Intel's implementation of the Atom strategy will significantly reduce the power consumption and price of x86 chips, but the power consumption and price of the x86 multimedia instruction set CPU architecture will be very difficult to compete with ARM. ARM's high-performance A8/A9 has solved the display and The problem of high-definition streaming media processing, JITZ solved the problem of industrial control and embedded need rich peripheral interfaces. It can be predicted that under the impetus of JITZ, the future of industrial control and embedded will be the world of ARM.
Restraints: High cost of battery-powered portable power stations
Portable power stations include components such as high-efficiency solar panels, pulse width modulation (PWM) charge controllers, inverters, lithium-ion NMC (nickel, manganese, and cobalt), and sealed lead acid, which contain silica. As the capacity requirement increases, the battery size and the size of solar panels also increase, leading to higher costs of portable power stations. For instance, key companies such as Goal Zero and Jackery are offering solar panels as separate accessories, which further increases the cost of battery-powered portable power stations. Alternatively, natural gas or fossil fuel generators are comparatively low in cost because of a wide variety of fuel types, such as diesel, gasoline, and natural gas, coupled with reduced fuel prices. Fuel prices are low because of the reduced oil & gas prices globally. In addition, a few fossil fuel-powered portable generators can even run on more than one type of fuel-a combination of gasoline and propane. Natural gas, fossil fuel diesel-based generators or small engines are preferred conventionally over battery-powered portable power stations as these are widely available and easily accessible at any place. Portable generators are relatively inexpensive because of their simpler construction and technological maturity compared with battery-powered portable power stations. These factors may restrain the growth of the portable power station market due to the availability of cheap generators.
