Neousys Technology announced a compact, fanless industrial computer based on a 1.8GHz Intel Atom D525 processor, and offering resistance to shock, vibration, and extended temperatures. The Nuvo-2000 supports up to 4GB of DDR3 SDRAM, with CompactFlash, SATA, mini-PCI Express, gigabit Ethernet, USB, serial, and isolated DIO connectivity, while PCI slots range from one to three, depending on model.

When Logic Supply announced its "Neousys" Nuvo-1003B and Nuvo-1005 industrial computers last month, we did not realize the computers were actually manufactured by New Taipei City, Taiwan based Neousys Technology. Neousys has now unveiled a new Nuvo-2000 series under its own name.

While the earlier models used Intel Core and Celeron CPUs, the three Nuvo-2000 models are all based on the dual-core Intel Atom D525 processor, clocked to 1.8GHz, says Neousys. They all support up to 4GB of DDR3 SDRAM, and offer a CompactFlash slot, dual internal SATA connectors, and a 2.5-inch drive bay, says the company.

The three models differ only in their allotment of PCI expansion options: one for the Nuvo-2010, two for the Nuvo-2021, and three for the Nuvo-2030. They all offer an internal mini-PCI Express (PCIe) slot, but only the Nuvo-2021 supplies an additional PCI Express x4 slot, says the company.

The Nuvo-2000 series is further equipped with externally accessible I/O including a gigabit Ethernet port, four USB 2.0 ports, a VGA port, a PS/2 port, and audio I/O, says Neousys. An RS-232 and RS-232/422/485 port are also external, while two more RS-232 ports are inside, says the company. Other internal I/O is said to include a parallel port and optional isolated, 12-channel digital I/O. 

The fanless device measures a modest 8.9 x 6.18 x 5.6 inches, and dissipates heat with the help of heat spreaders, says Neousys. Standard temperature support is said to be 14 to 131 deg. F (-10 to 55 deg. C), while the Nuvo-2021 (pictured at right) and Nuvo-2030 are also available in extended temperature versions rated at up to -4 to 158 deg. F (-20 to 70 deg. C). All these computers also offer shock and vibration resistance, says the company (see spec list below).

Drivers are listed only for Windows XP and both 32- and 64-bit Windows 7 versions. However, this standard Atom platform should easily support Linux as well.
