The SL-IoT-BOX-6ULL is a industrial fanless computer. It is compact, energy-efficient computer dedicated for edge and PLC applications. Powered by the NXP i.MX6ULL processor, it offers versatile connectivity with RS232, RS485, CAN-FD, USB, Ethernet, and optional WiFi/BLE with external antenna. It provides digital and relay I/O, expandable storage via eMMC or MicroSD, as well as development-friendly features like LED indicators, a console port, and RTC with battery backup. Designed for reliability and flexibility, the SL-IoT-BOX-6ULL industrial fanless computer is an ideal platform for modern IoT and industrial solutions. By integrating OpenPLC software, industrial applications become more scalable, future-ready, and performance-driven. At the core of the system, the powerful VisionSOM-6ULL module drives the performance of the computer. The SL-IoT-BOX industrial fanless edge computer comes in a durable aluminum enclosure, rated IP40 for reliable protection.

Software loading - BOOT0 jumper
Location of BOOT0 jumper (bottom view)
If BOOT0 jumper is open - MPU starts normally (software from MMC memory is loading).
If pins of BOOT0 jumper are connected to each other, bootloader starts (active on USB1).
