Compact and fast dual gigabit Ethernet
Advantech, industrial computer manufacturer and automation innovator, releases its PICMG-3.1-compliant PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC), the MIC-3665.
Wall mountable node solution has high capacity
Advantech has launched the IPC-7220 industrial computer chassis, the next-generation wall-mountable industrial node solution with high capacity for ATX motherboards.
Unpredictable, static electricity is common in industrial environments, and without ESD protection built-in, Ethernet network break down occur at a higher risk.
The upgraded ADAM-6520-B provides maximum network stability for applications in harsh environments.
The other upgrade is the solid screw terminal design.
An industrial-grade switch is a critical component to any system that relies on an Ethernet network.
Using a normal clamp connector for the switch power lines is not recommended, as the wires could get tangled in moving mechanical parts, or on the foot of an unfortunate system operator.
This design guarantees that power lines are firmly fixed to the Adam-6520-B.
The Adam-6520-B supports a wide voltage range of 10 to 30V DC and extensive operating temperature range of -10 to +70C.
Additionally, the compact design of the Adam family saves space, and has flexible mounting options like: wall, panel, piggyback, cabinets and, of course, DIN rails.
Together with the two new functions mentioned earlier, the Adam-6520-B delivers reliable performance for users who demand network dependability to handle today's most advanced applications, such as assembly lines, semiconductor factories, warehouses and automated factories.
