Witty Knowledge Agent Board
An industrial prototype & production ready board !
Versions
v1.0 – Prototypes, v1.1 – Optimized Prototypes, v1.2 – Production, v1.3 – Compact Production, v1.4 –aluminium case PCB
We can produce tuned versions with protection resistors adjusted to your voltages/currents, in particular for the reading of your PWM voltages/currents. There is a serial number on the « power » main board and a serial number on the “microcontroller” core board.
Introduction
WK Agent board is an electronic board industrial and hardened AllInOne, unique on the embedded market, it contains a 32-bits microcontroller, lots of static memory, all types of connectivity (CAN, ETHERNET, SERIAL, SPI, USB), power electronics with 2 air cooled PWM and professional 12V I/O minifit connectors (v1.3) and a IP65 IP68 aluminium case version (1.4). A set of protection components ensures programmable functional safety. The core (microcontroller and memory) can be replaceable and evolutive.
WK agent board allows to quickly realize prototypes and industrial products. It is ATMEL Studio, Keil et Arduino IDE compatible (with Arduino DUE board).
The board is concieved to be casted in resin (v1.3), specific for heat evacuation and IP protection.
Synoptic
J1 to J6 connectors are professional standard Molex MiniFit. Cables are 1 mm² 16 AWG.
