Advantages of System on Module

A System on Module (SOM) is a compact, integrated computer system that combines the most essential components of a computer, including the central processing unit (CPU), memory, and input/output interfaces, into a single module. SOMs are widely used in embedded systems, such as industrial control systems, consumer electronics, and automotive applications, as well as in more complex systems, such as drones and robotics. There are several advantages to using a System on Module over a traditional, standalone computer system. Here are a few of the most significant benefits:

Space savings: SOMs are much smaller than traditional computer systems, making them ideal for applications where space is at a premium. This compact size also makes them easier to integrate into other systems, such as in the case of drone applications.

Increased reliability: SOMs are designed for industrial-grade applications and are built to withstand harsh environmental conditions. They are also typically more reliable than traditional computer systems, due to the reduced number of components and the use of high-quality materials.

Simplified system integration: SOMs are designed to be plug-and-play, making system integration much simpler and faster. They provide a common platform for different applications and can be used across multiple systems, reducing development time and costs.

Improved performance: SOMs are optimized for specific applications and are designed to maximize performance while minimizing power consumption. They are also often equipped with advanced features, such as multiple USB ports, Ethernet connectivity, and high-speed memory interfaces.

Increased flexibility: SOMs can be customized to meet specific requirements, making them ideal for a wide range of applications. They can also be easily updated or reconfigured as needed, providing greater flexibility in the long term.

Advantages of Using FETA40i-C in Laser Coding Machines   

1. Introduction to Laser Coding Machines:

Laser coding machines use high-energy lasers focused directly on the surface of objects to induce physical and chemical changes, creating markings.

As the laser beam's focus moves systematically across the marking surface, controlling the laser's activation allows for the creation of specific marking patterns on the object's surface.

Laser marking offers advantages such as non-contact marking, high speed, minimal pollution, no consumable loss, and clear, permanent identification. These benefits give it a competitive edge, leading to its gradual replacement of traditional ink-jet coders.

2. Structure of Laser Coding Machines:

A laser coding machine primarily consists of the following components:

Control System: The core component responsible for editing and processing marking content, generating marking data, transmitting it to the galvo system and laser system, and handling external input.

Laser System: Responsible for generating and transmitting the laser to the galvo system.

Galvo System: Quickly and precisely rotates mirrors to alter the laser beam's path, focusing it into a spot on the marking surface.

Power Supply System: Provides power to the entire laser marking machine, including the controller, laser, and galvo system.

Conveyor Mechanism: Moves items to be marked and uses speed measurement devices to monitor real-time item movement, feeding this data back to the control system.

3. ARM+FPGA-Based Control System Design:

ARM processor manages the human-machine interface, complex data processing, and communication, while the FPGA handles the reception, storage, conversion of marking data, and controls the marking equipment.

The marking control is managed by the marking card, with real-time performance mainly relying on the FPGA. ARM SoM is used for interface display and higher-level computation.

4. Folinx Solution

Forlinx Embedded recommends the FETA40i-C SoM as the ARM platform for laser coding machines, offering notable advantages: Notable advantages:
