It is a rugged, IP67-rated Linux based Edge computer

Product Description

Description

The Kvaser Edge WL420S is a rugged, IP67-rated Linux based Edge computer that is targeted at telematic, logging, and controls applications for vehicles, primarily within the automotive, off-highway, rail, marine and industrial markets.

The WL420S features a powerful i.MX8 multicore processor with integrated NPU, four galvanically isolated CAN/CAN FD ports, two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, WiFi 6, GNSS positioning, and an onboard IMU.

Running the Linux-based operating system Kvaser Edge OS (KEOS), the WL420S supports multiple Linux distributions and integrated container technology for secure deployment of custom applications.

The WL420S is well suited for both advanced development projects and large-scale production deployments.

Please Note: To split the four channels into separate connections and enable power, a splitter cable, product 01633-0 is required, sold separately.

 

Major Features

  • Kvaser Edge OS (KEOS) provides a scalable, secure platform for a flexible remote user environment and data logging and processing at the edge.
  • Powerful embedded ARM-based Linux computer with NXP SE051C2 Secure Element, facilitating CRA compliance with target software applications.
  • Four fully featured, time-synchronized, individually galvanically isolated CAN-FD channels using Kvaser CAN-IP implemented in FPGA.
  • Remote CanKing operation is supported by running the CK Service on the Edge while keeping the CanKing GUI on a remote computer.
  • Edge devices without a running container appear as standard USB interfaces with CANlib support.
  • WiFi 6 and two Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) interfaces enable remote connectivity and simultaneous access to multiple networks.
  • Ruggedized housing with IP67 ingress protection and wired interfaces for durable, flexible connections.
  • Inertial measurement units and Multi-GNSS support (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou) for enhanced positioning accuracy and reliability.
  • Galvanically isolated GPIO interfaces enable trigger-based logging.
  • Separate galvanically isolated power supply supports activation by ignition signal, while the high-capacity battery ensures safe shutdown and supports intermediate operation.
