Introduction to Windows IoT Enterprise LTSC

Windows IoT Enterprise LTSC (Long-Term Servicing Channel) is designed for industrial devices requiring high stability and long-term support. It provides enterprise-grade security and manageability, leveraging the rich Windows ecosystem and cloud integration to help organizations build easy-to-maintain, secure IoT devices.

Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC

As the most mature platform in industrial automation, it offers ultimate reliability:
Long-Term Support: Provides a fixed system version to avoid compatibility issues caused by frequent OS updates.
Advanced Lockdown Features: Features a traditional Windows Shell with advanced lockdown capabilities (e.g., Write Filters, Custom UI).
Full UI Support: Supports traditional Windows applications and Universal Windows Apps (UWP, WinForms, WPF, etc.).

Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC

As the new industrial standard, it further optimizes performance and security on a stable foundation:
10-Year Lifecycle: Offers up to 10 years of long-term support and security updates, reducing equipment maintenance costs.
Enhanced Security: Integrates the latest hardware-level protection (e.g., TPM support) for more rigorous threat detection.
Superior Computing Efficiency: Optimized for the latest generation of processors (such as the Intel x7211RE), providing smoother multitasking performance and a modernized UI experience.

Hardware Features

Powerful CPU Module

• XP-9000-IoT: Equipped with the Intel® Atom™ E3845 processor ( 1.91 GHz, Quad-Core ).
• XP-9000-IoT11: Equipped with the Intel® Atom™ x7211RE processor (1.0 GHz, Dual-Core).

Built-in VGA and HDMI Port

A built-in VGA and HDMI port can be directly connected to a regular display. Users can operate the HMI or SCADA software (running on the XP-9000-IoT) with display, keyboard and mouse just as howthey usually did on regular PCs.

64-bit Hardware Serial Number

The 64-bit hardware serial number is unique and individual. Every serial number of XP-9000-IoT PAC is different. Users can add a checking mechanism to their AP to prevent software from pirating.

Rich I/O Expansion Ability (RS-232/485, USB, Ethernet)

Beside the local I/O slots, XP-9000-IoT also provides several RS-232/RS-485/USB ports and two Ethernet ports to connect with serial/USB I/O and Ethernet I/O devices.

Dual Watchdog Timer

A system could be hanged up when the OS or the AP fails. There are two watchdogs (CPU watchdog and Backplane watchdog) designed to automatically reset the CPU/Backplane when the situations happen. The design will increase the reliability of the system.

Dual Ethernet Ports

XP-9000-IoT provides two Gigabit Ethernet ports. The two Ethernet ports can be used to implement redundant Ethernet communication and separate Ethernet communication (one for global Internet, one for private Ethernet).

Rugged RJ-45 connector for LAN1

The XP-9000-IoT is equipped with a rugged and dustproof RJ-45 connector on the LAN1 port that is able to provide protection against both liquid and dust contaminants in harsh industrial environments, as well as protection against vibration and shock.

Power/Communication spring clamp terminal connector

The spring clamp terminal block that is used for the Power/Communication connector in the XP-9000-IoT offers advantages including anti-vibration, stable clamping, and easier installation.

Metal Enclosure

The XP-9000-IoT features a durable metal casing to provide high levels of impact resistance and flame resistance, and higher protection on EMS or other electromagnetic noises.

Redundant Power Inputs

To prevent the XP-9000-IoT from failing by the power loss, the power module is designed with two inputs. The XP-9000-IoT can keep working even one power input fails, and mean while there is a relay output for informing the power failure.

Fanless Design with Wide Operating Temperature Range

With the fanless design for embedded applications, the operating temperature range is -25°C to +60°C for the XP-9000-IoT series.
