The IGT-21 is an industrial grade ARM-based gateway. Unlike System on Module (SoM) that's commonly provided as a barebone component, the IGT-21 is based on AM3352 from Texas Instrument's Sitara AM335x family and is shipped as a ready system pre-installed with Debian. The industrial nature of the IGT-21 means it is in compliance with common industrial certifications such as CE/FCC, shock and vibration. Another distinction the IGT-21 has over SoM is that it accepts a wider range of power inputs ranging from 8V to 25V DC (SoM usually accepts 5V DC).
The IGT-21 has I/Os that are applicable to a range of industrial grade sensors. It features a CANBUs 2.0 A/B port, one USB2.0 port, one 10/100M LAN port and two configurable COM ports (RS-232/422/485). In addition to the ports mentioned, there are four built-in isolated digital input channels that accept discrete signals from various sensors or buttons/switches. There are also four built-in isolated digital output channels to control actuators and indicators.
Communication wise, the IGT-21 has a miniPCIe slot and a USIM holder allowing it to transmit acquired data and system status via 3G, 4G or WiFi (mini PCIe WiFi module). There is an opening on top of the IGT-21 for users to mount the SMA connector of the wireless module. In terms of storage, it has dual microSDHC slots, one internal and one external. This design allows users to separate system/user data and can expedite in OS deployment for mass production. As a gateway, users can take advantage of six programmable status LED indicators and two control buttons to operate the IGT-21 without using a keyboard or mouse.
