Forlinx MA35 Embedded SoM: Industrial IoT Gateway for Real-Time Elevator Monitoring & Predictive Maintenance
In today’s rapidly evolving smart building and industrial automation landscape, real-time edge computing and monitoring have never been more critical. The Forlinx MA35 Embedded SoM is engineered precisely to meet these demands: featuring powerful processing capabilities, an extensive array of I/O interfaces, and dual 4G-to-cloud connectivity, it captures every aspect of elevator operation—from motion, leveling, and door status to environmental factors like temperature, humidity, and smoke. With instant fault detection and immediate alerts, the MA35 cpu board empowers predictive maintenance, minimizes downtime, and ensures passenger safety around the clock.
As the nerve endings of the entire system, the intelligent IoT hardware for elevators is responsible for real-time monitoring of elevator operating status and analysis of its health status. It connects to the cloud platform through multiple network access channels, thus enabling multi-scenario applications for various user roles.
Function Features:
- It can collect signals of elevator up-and-down operation, stop signals, leveling signals, car door opening and closing signals, the floor where the elevator is located, elevator speed, and the single-run distance of the elevator.
- It can monitor elevator fault information in real-time (such as people trapped, elevator stuck on a floor, abnormal door operation, over-speeding at the top or bottom).
- It can store various types of elevator operation data, fault data, and elevator maintenance work information.
- It can transmit real-time elevator operation status data to the real-time elevator operation monitoring platform via the 4G wireless network, and can also report the data to the cloud platform simultaneously.
- It is equipped with more sensors to sense information such as temperature, humidity, and smoke inside the elevator. Once an abnormality is detected, an immediate alarm will be triggered.
Application Advantages
Small size and low power consumption: It uses LCC + LGA packaging and compact size. It has passed the rigorous industrial environment tests in Forlinx Embedded Laboratory to ensure the stability and reliability of the product.
Abundant peripheral resources: The SoM has as many as 260 pinsPin extended, which can support a variety of control interfaces and multiple wireless communication methods to meet the diverse communication needs of the elevator IoT system.
Convenient and easy to use: The SoM is equipped with the Linux 5.10.140 operating system. It also supports OTG and TF card batch programming methods, and single-step kernel updates, making product development and mass production more convenient.
