As modern industrial dispatch systems demand higher efficiency and reliability for coordinated control, traditional x86-based industrial controllers are increasingly limited by high power consumption, weak scalability, and slow response. To address these issues, Beilai Tech has launched the ARMxy BL450 series industrial controller based on the RK3588 platform. With powerful computing performance, ultra-low power consumption, and rich industrial interfaces, it revolutionizes the device collaboration framework—making it ideal for smart fire protection, intelligent buildings, and industrial automation systems.
The ARMxy BL450 series is equipped with the Rockchip RK3588 processor, featuring a combination of 4×Cortex-A76 and 4×Cortex-A55 cores with a maximum frequency of 2.4GHz. It integrates a Mali-G610 MP4 GPU and a 6TOPS NPU (Neural Processing Unit), supporting mainstream frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch. With up to 128GB eMMC storage and 16GB LPDDR4X RAM, it delivers outstanding multitasking, data pre-processing, and AI inference capabilities at the edge.
The controller is designed for industrial environments, operating reliably in extreme temperatures (-40°C to 85°C) and passing stringent ESD, EFT, EMC, drop, and humidity tests.
To meet the needs of concurrent multi-device communication and system interoperability, the BL450 controller offers comprehensive multi-protocol support:
Supports MQTT, Modbus RTU/TCP, BACnet, IEC104, OPC UA, and other industrial/IoT protocols.
Equipped with multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports, RS232/RS485, CAN, GPIO, analog/digital I/O interfaces.
Paired with BLIoTLink protocol conversion software for fast integration with PLCs, SCADA, or cloud platforms (e.g., Alibaba Cloud, Huawei Cloud, AWS IoT).
The built-in NPU accelerates protocol encoding and decoding, significantly improving device access performance and reducing latency.
The BL450 is optimized for smart coordination of audiovisual and electrical devices, particularly in critical event response scenarios:
Smart Dispatch Response: When dispatch orders are received, the system automatically triggers predefined actions such as public announcements, alarm lights, or access control, improving alertness and reaction time.
Versatile Output Modes: Supports relay, open-collector, level, and pulse control for accurate signaling of alarm devices.
Visual Rule Configuration: With built-in Node-RED, users can define complex logic flows based on time, event, or device state.
This enables rapid local response and seamless remote coordination in events like fires, equipment failures, and power anomalies.
The controller features pre-installed high-performance data acquisition services supporting Modbus and custom serial protocols. It exposes standard MQTT topics or RESTful APIs for upper-layer integration. With the onboard NPU, local edge analytics such as filtering, anomaly detection, and event reporting can be conducted efficiently, reducing system burden.
The BL450 supports Linux (Ubuntu/Debian) and Android operating systems, and is compatible with Docker containers and Qt for GUI development. With built-in Mosquitto MQTT Broker and Node-RED, users can easily deploy full-featured edge control systems. Typical scenarios include:
Fire/Emergency Command Centers: Receive dispatch orders and trigger announcements, screens, and emergency lighting.
Smart Buildings/Factories: Coordinate security alerts with lighting, broadcast, and cameras; automate energy monitoring and control.
Traffic/Energy Systems: Trigger local and remote alerts in response to faults or threshold breaches.
With its robust ARM computing performance, AI acceleration, protocol integration, and industrial-grade reliability, the ARMxy BL450 Industrial AI Box from Beilai Tech stands as a superior alternative to traditional x86 solutions. It is a powerful enabler for rapid, accurate, and intelligent coordination across diverse systems—setting the foundation for the next generation of smart cities and industrial intelligence.
