Baikal-M based Glace-19BK
On November 01, 2021, the company Baikal Electronics"" announced that the design group Nienschanz-Automatics"" developed industrial a panel computer Glace-19BK based on. The Russian processor Baikal-M PERSONAL COMPUTER display module uses monitor GLA-19, an earlier development of company engineers.
The GLA series of monitors, focused on food and chemical applications, have a frameless face panel made of impact-resistant glass with a thickness of 6 mm, a stainless steel housing, and are also protected from dust, moisture and mechanical effects. Glace-19 has all these characteristics.
The panel computer uses Mini-ITX processor boards, and its available Glace-19BK modification is based on the Baikal-M processor board with ARM architecture.
Glace-19BK is distinguished by a high degree of localization. In productions particular, this is achieved thanks to the use of the Baikal-M processor and the Nienschanz-Automatics design group development control controllers, which allow you to expand the standard functionality of panel computers and provide the user with a wide range of integration device capabilities, as well as its application in various industries. industries
Performance Features:
- IR remote control.
- A wired external module that allows smooth adjustment of the screen brightness using a variable resistor.
- Two external illumination sensors for automatic adjustment of screen brightness for comfortable perception of displayed information.
- Watch Dog Timer. A separate hardware device that allows you to monitor the operation of the Baikal processor board, and in case of a "hang" OS, automatically reboot the computer.
- Separate connector with power + 5 V SB, + 5 V and + 12 V for connecting external devices of the user.
- The mode switch is AT/ATX.
- There are buttons on the back of the panel computer to adjust the display parameters and turn it on/off. There are also buttons to turn the computer on/off, Reset and row. information light-emitting diodes
- Input power 9-36 V DC.
- Various mounting options are possible (VESA 100x100, in panel, flange, 19 'rack).
Technical specifications:
The anti-vandal faceplate of the Glace-19 computer withstands the fall of a steel ball weighing 882 grams from a height of 1 meter to the center of the glass surface. This makes it applicable in industrial conditions, as well as in public information systems and distinguishes it from analogues available on the market.
Despite the fact that the processor boards based on the Baikal processor did not provide for a watchdog timer, the engineers of the Nienschanz-Automatics design department integrated this important module into the panel computer, which increases the reliability of the system and allows you to automatically reboot the system in case of its "hang."
On the Glace-19BK panel computer, it is possible to install Astra Linux Special Edition, a special-purpose operating system used, among other things, to work with limited access information. The computer passed compatibility tests with this operating system and showed high stability of operation.
The development of the Nienschanz-Automatics design group is focused on application in the food or chemical industries, solving the problems of automating transport or the oil and gas industry, as well as on use in information systems of common access.
Glace-19 compatibility with Astra Linux operating systems
On October 25, 2021, Astra Linux Group of Companies announced that cooperation with Nienschanz-Automatics as part of the Ready for Astra Linux IT manufacturers technology cooperation program makes it possible to conduct joint tests of OCAstra Linux on various industrial equipment.
Compatibility certificates have already been received by industrial processor boards, assembled computers, embedded and panel PCs, secure tablets and laptops.
Confirmed compatibility of Astra Linux OS with Glace-19 - a specialized development "Nienschanz-Automation" with a high degree of localization of production.
Glace-19 - Russian Industrial PC with a high degree of localization of production: it is based on, and processor Baikal also uses domestic Mini-ITX processor boards. The computer passed compatibility tests with this operating system one and showed high stability of operation.
Serviceability tests of hardware and software stacks are carried out by Nienschanz-Automatics engineers and cover all aspects of the systems operation.
Information collects using astra-create-debug-logs and lshw utilities. Next, the operating system verifies the support of built-in, network adapters all available connection interfaces integrated , video and audio adapters and other types of built-in equipment and controllers (if any) -, Wi-Fi Bluetooth etc. Depending on the type of equipment, additional studies are organized. For example, it servers requires a support check - RAID controller, for tablets and laptops - the correct operation of the touchscreen and touchpad, controllers, LTE etc. NFC
Then load testing of the main systems is carried out. The processor is tested using the stress-ng and p7zip utilities.
Unigine Heaven Benchmark is used for video system load tests.
Next, load testing of the CPU and video is carried out, the ability to download over the network (PXE) is checked.
Test results shall be recorded. It is accompanied by an archive with all the data collected. These documents confirm that the hardware is fully functional and compatible with Astra Linux.
As a result, developers get an industrial solution with a domestic operating system that can work with limited access information, including state secrets of "special importance." All Nienschanz-Automatics equipment is designed for operation in industrial conditions and aggressive environments. It withstands vibration and shocks, and is also protected from water and dust according to the IP standard.
Nienschanz Automatika was founded in 1994 in St. Petersburg. For more than 20 years, the company has been providing its customers with access to current technologies and solutions for building industrial automation systems in various sectors of the Russian industry.
At the end of October 2021, Nienschanz Automatika offers more than 13,000 items of automation equipment, including products developed by its own design team.
As part of the import substitution strategy, the company is developing Front Man systems - Russian computers and industrial displays for production automation.
 | Astra Linux Group and Nienschanz Automatika continue to cooperate, and the range of compatible solutions has been supplemented by promising development - Russian industrial PCs based on the Baikal processor. Given the company's extensive experience in the development, debugging and testing of joint solutions, I can confidently say that this is an important step towards the creation and practical application of trusted hardware and software stacks of domestic production, " commented by Roman Mylitsyn, Head of Advanced Studies and Special Projects, Astra Linux Group of Companies. |  |

= added the head of the innovation department of Nienschants-Automation Dmitry Novikov.|"Our cooperation with Astra Linux Group of Companies is very fruitful: the line of joint solutions is constantly replenished with fresh promising options. In the process of cooperation, a large number of equipment has already been certified. Test experience of industrial equipment is positive. In the future, we plan to expand the range of joint solutions.
I will separately note the timely response of technical support, which allows you to resolve issues in real time, as they become available, "-}}
