A CompactFlash socket is incorporated to give even greater functionality.
Fanless operation together with solid state drive memory makes for the utmost reliability due to no moving parts.
The RD-103 integrates a host of interfaces, including four serial ports, optionally configured as either all RS232 or two RS422/two RS232, three USB 2.0 EHCI ports, one 10/100BaseT Ethernet port, one Enhanced parallel port and a PS/2 keyboard/mouse port.
A further USB port has front panel access for easy data loading and field updates.
A GPS input is provided for applications requiring either accurate positioning or timing functions.
Expansion slots for three PC/104 or PC/104+ I/O cards are incorporated to deliver the utmost versatility.
A wide range of optional third-party approved I/O cards are also available on request, including Profibus, CANbus, Bitbus, eight-port serial RS232/RS422/RS485, digital and analogue, single channel dual redundant 1553, eight-channel ARINC 429 and quad frame grabber.
The unit offers a 0 to 60C operating temperature range, a 5 to 95% (noncondensing) operating humidity range and is CE/EMI tested.
A dip brazed chassis with Mil38999 connectors is optionally available for military/aerospace applications.
All system components are manufactured lead-free and are RoHS compliant.
Operated from a 40W power supply with a 10 to 30V DC input voltage range, the unit offers a low power consumption of just 13W at 800MHz or 25W at 1.8GHz, making it compatible with the stringent demands of mobile environments.
The RD-103 comes preloaded with either Windows XP or Linux operating systems and can be specially configured for Windows XP Embedded, LynxOS and VX-Works.
Diamond Point's extremely versatile new RD-103 embedded computer is ideally suited to a very wide variety of applications, including telecommunications, networking, industrial control, military/aerospace, oil and gas manufacture and distribution, medical instrumentation, automotive and gaming.
