An industrial-grade edge AI computing platform for visual inference and real-time decision-making, built on NVIDIA Jetson Orin™ NX
The EA-N500A is an industrial-grade edge AI computing platform built on the NVIDIA Jetson™ platform, designed for visual inference, real-time inspection and edge intelligent control. It supports Jetson Orin™ NX 16GB / 8GB series modules, so you can flexibly choose the compute configuration to suit each project. The unit integrates 4× PoE Gigabit network ports for unified power and data transmission to industrial cameras and vision terminals, plus a rich set of industrial interfaces including USB 3.0, Ethernet, serial, CAN and GPIO. With 9–36V wide-voltage input, a SafeCore™ industrial-grade reliability design and an industrial-grade structure, the EA-N500 runs stably in demanding industrial environments with electromagnetic interference, temperature extremes and vibration — a reliable platform for machine vision and edge AI deployment.
NVIDIA Jetson AI compute + JetPack SDK ecosystem + FlexCore™ modularity — an industrial-grade solution for edge AI applications.
Powered by the Jetson Orin™ NX 16GB / 8GB module, delivering up to 157 TOPS of edge AI compute. An 8-core A78AE CPU + 1024-core Ampere GPU suits visual recognition, object detection, video analytics and real-time decision-making.
1024-core NVIDIA Ampere GPU + 32 Tensor Cores, supporting INT8 / FP16 deep-learning inference. Low-latency local inference with no reliance on the cloud.
Natively compatible with the NVIDIA JetPack SDK (including CUDA / cuDNN / TensorRT / DeepStream / VisionWorks), supporting model deployment for TensorFlow, PyTorch, ONNX and other mainstream frameworks.
4× PoE Gigabit Ethernet ports power and carry data for industrial cameras, vision terminals and IP cameras directly, with no external PoE switch — simplifying machine-vision deployment.
1× HDMI 2.1 (8K30) high-resolution display output for industrial-vision large screens, video walls and medical-imaging visualization.
4× USB 3.0 + 2× COM (RS-232 / RS-485 optional) + 1× CAN + 8-channel GPIO. Covers the full range of industrial control, data acquisition and bus communication.
The unit integrates 2× Wi-Fi antennas + a Mini-PCIe slot, with optional 4G / 5G LTE all-network modules — flexibly adapting to on-site networking.
A 3-pin pluggable Phoenix terminal with 9-36V DC wide-voltage input. Four-way protection against over-voltage, over-current, reverse polarity and surge — riding out industrial grid spikes.
Built on the FlexCore™ four-element architecture: i-Core compute (Jetson module) + i-Function expansion + i-Connect I/O + Smart Thermal control. Jetson compute is upgradeable (N100 → N200 → N500).
Four protection mechanisms working together: ① power protection (over-voltage / over-current / reverse polarity / surge) + ② backup power (smart lithium-battery power-loss buffering) + ③ start/stop control (auto power-on when energized) + ④ system self-recovery (watchdog + fault restart).
6061 high-strength aluminum alloy + sheet-metal structure, built to withstand complex industrial sites with EMI, temperature extremes and vibration. Designed for machine vision, AOI defect detection, robot control and medical-imaging AI.
