Ruggedized Engineering for Off-Grid Success

The TS-7180 is purpose-built to bridge the gap between high-performance computing and the strict power constraints of off-grid environments. Unlike standard industrial boards that demand constant, high-wattage feeds, the TS-7180 is a master of efficiency, consuming less than 1 watt during typical operation. For truly remote deployments—such as atmospheric sensors or seismic monitors—the onboard power management allows the system to enter an ultra-low-power 9 mW sleep mode. This ensures that even the smallest solar arrays or battery banks can sustain the system through weeks of overcast weather or limited charging cycles, significantly reducing the total cost and footprint of your field enclosure.

Integrated Power Versatility and Protection

Power stability is the greatest challenge in "alternate power" applications, where voltage sag from a battery or spikes from a solar controller are common. The TS-7180 addresses this with a wide input voltage range of 8 VDC to 30 VDC, allowing it to sit directly on 12V or 24V bus lines without the need for additional, failure-prone DC-DC converters. More importantly, it features the proprietary TS-SILO data protection system. These integrated supercapacitors provide up to 30 seconds of hold-up power during an unexpected outage. This "safety net" gives the Linux OS enough time to flush write caches and perform a graceful shutdown, effectively eliminating the risk of file system corruption that plagues off-grid hardware.

High-Integrity Data Logging for Remote Sites

When a device is deployed miles from the nearest technician, data integrity is non-negotiable. The TS-7180 is equipped with 2 KB of FRAM (Ferroelectric RAM), a specialized non-volatile memory that offers nearly infinite write cycles and high speed. This is the ideal "black box" for logging critical system states or high-frequency sensor data that would otherwise wear out standard Flash memory. For bulk storage, the board utilizes 4 GB of eMMC, which can be configured as high-reliability pSLC to withstand years of constant logging. Whether you are interfacing with industrial inverters via the Dual-CAN bus or monitoring environmental sensors, your data remains secure even when network connectivity is intermittent.

Off-Grid Runtime Estimator

How long can the TS-7180 run on a standard 12V Battery?

Battery Capacity	Mode: Always On	Mode: Low Power Sleep*
7 Ah (Small Lead Acid)	~3.5 Days	~38 Days
20 Ah (Standard Solar)	~10 Days	~110 Days

*Assumes 10% duty cycle (waking up every 10 minutes to log data).

Seamless Connectivity and Edge Gateway Capabilities

An off-grid computer is only as useful as the data it can transmit. The TS-7180 functions as a powerful Industrial IoT Gateway, offering a diverse array of "northbound" and "southbound" communication options. With onboard Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, as well as specialized sockets for Cellular (MultiTech or NimbeLink) and XBee radios, you can customize your telemetry path based on the site's geography. The inclusion of GPS/GNSS allows for precise time-stamping of data and location tracking for mobile assets, while dual Ethernet ports provide the physical networking backbone required for complex local sensor arrays.

Proven Reliability in Harsh Use Cases

From the sweltering heat of a desert solar farm to the sub-zero humidity of a mountain-top weather station, the TS-7180 is rated for a full -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range. Its fanless, solid-state design has no moving parts to fail, making it the gold standard for renewable energy monitoring and remote asset tracking. By combining an NXP i.MX6UL ARM processor with an onboard 9-axis IMU, the board can detect everything from the tilt of a solar tracker to the vibrations of a remote pipeline, providing a level of situational awareness that standard "hobbyist" boards simply cannot match in a professional, remote deployment.
