NVIDIA Jetson Orin™ NX-based industrial-grade edge AI vision inference & real-time decision platform
EA-N500A is an industrial-grade edge AI computing platform built on the NVIDIA Jetson™ platform, engineered for vision inference, real-time detection and edge intelligent control. It supports Jetson Orin™ NX 16GB / 8GB modules so customers can scale compute to project requirements. The system integrates 4× PoE Gigabit Ethernet ports for combined power-and-data delivery to industrial cameras and vision terminals, plus rich industrial I/O including USB 3.0, GbE, COM, CAN and GPIO. With 9–36V wide-voltage input, SafeCore™ industrial reliability design and a hardened mechanical structure, EA-N500A operates reliably under EMI, wide-temperature swings and vibration — a dependable platform for machine vision and edge AI deployments.
NVIDIA Jetson AI compute + JetPack SDK ecosystem + FlexCore™ modular hardware — an industrial-grade platform for edge AI deployments.
Powered by the Jetson Orin™ NX 16GB / 8GB module, delivering up to 157 TOPS of edge AI compute. 8-core A78AE CPU + 1024-core Ampere GPU — tuned for vision recognition, object detection, video analytics and real-time decision workloads.
1024-core NVIDIA Ampere GPU + 32 Tensor Cores deliver INT8 / FP16 deep-learning inference. Low-latency local inference eliminates dependence on cloud compute.
Native compatibility with NVIDIA JetPack SDK (including CUDA / cuDNN / TensorRT / DeepStream / VisionWorks), supporting TensorFlow, PyTorch, ONNX and other mainstream framework deployments.
4× PoE Gigabit Ethernet ports deliver combined power and data to industrial cameras, vision terminals and IP cameras — no external PoE switch required, simplifying machine-vision deployments.
1× HDMI 2.1 (8K30) high-resolution display output — ideal for vision-system large-screen displays, video walls and medical imaging visualization.
4× USB 3.0 + 2× COM (RS-232 / RS-485 selectable) + 1× CAN + 8-channel GPIO — full coverage for industrial control, data acquisition and bus communication.
Built-in 2× Wi-Fi antennas + Mini-PCIe expansion slot, with optional 4G / 5G LTE multi-carrier modules — flexible field-network adaptation.
3-pin pluggable Phoenix terminal, 9-36V DC wide-voltage input. Four-way protection (over-voltage / over-current / reverse-polarity / surge) handles industrial power-grid disturbances.
Based on the FlexCore™ four-element architecture: i-Core (Jetson compute module) + i-function expansion + i-Connect interface + Smart Thermal. Jetson compute is field-upgradeable (N100 → N200 → N500).
Four coordinated protection mechanisms: (1) power protection (OVP / OCP / reverse / surge) + (2) backup power (smart Li-ion power-loss buffer) + (3) start/stop control (auto power-on at AC return) + (4) system self-recovery (watchdog + exception reboot).
6061 high-strength aluminum alloy + sheet-metal chassis tolerates EMI, wide-temperature swings and vibration in harsh industrial sites. Purpose-built for machine vision, AOI defect detection, robotics control and medical imaging AI.
