Boards embed four or eight switchable serial ports
The 104-COM-8S and 104-COM-4S are the latest additions to the line of PC/104 boards from Acces I/O Products.
Four Es a jolly good acquisition system
The Model E4-DAS takes its name from being an easy to use, Ethernet enabled, embedded and environmentally adaptable PC/104-based data acquisition system.
This allows for added versatility and is useful in a wide variety of applications.
The system is housed in a rugged, black anodised aluminium enclosure measuring only 5 x 6.25 x 3in.
The enclosure offers physical protection for industrial environments and features a bulkhead mounting provision.
The unit is quietly powered by an included 12V DC to ATX power supply with no fans.
External connections provided include VGA, four USB 2.0 root ports, one RS232 and one RS232/422/485-selectable COM ports, PS/2 keyboard and mouse, 10/100 Ethernet and standard PC sound.
This tiny system is the first fanless Intel Core Duo to highlight full PC/104, PCI-104 and PC/104-Plus I/O expansion.
The Nano I/O Server CD has almost twice the performance of a 1.8 Pentium M CPU processor commonly used in other small embedded systems but with far less wattage.
The Nano sized system is passively cooled but still provides performance equal to more than ten times the benchmark comparison of any other Nano-ITX sized motherboard system.
The system internally supports either a laptop SATA or IDE 2.5in hard drive or a CompactFlash card.
The small system has room to support up to two PC/104, PCI-104 or PC/104-Plus I/O modules.
A removable plate can be customised to bring out customer-specified I/O cables or connectors.
Input to the 12V DC ATX power supply is provided by a standard laptop-type plug receptacle so that a standard external AC brick to 12VDC power supply can be used to avoid excess heat within the system.
The Nano I/O Server CD offers the most powerful embedded computing for COTS I/O in a rugged, quiet, cool, tiny package.
The design is excellent for use in applications such as mobile data acquisition and control, robotics, military and defence, and avionics where both performance and size matter.
Systems start at less than US $1500.
