Motherboard keeps power consumption low
With a combined thermal design power of less than 5W for the processor and chipset the Kontron KTUS15/mITX motherboard is suitable for solar/battery powered applications.
Embedded PC suits avionics applications
The Kontron MEC-PPC-AV1 modular embedded computer offers a large range of I/Os such as Ethernet, general purpose I/Os, serial lines and MIL-STD-1553 links.
The X11 client/server visualisation (also known as "X" or "X Window System") is implemented using the Xfree86 open source graphics subsystem.
Communication between an X-Server and X-Client takes place both locally and over TCP/IP networks, so that distributed applications are manageable from a single computer.
This allows the PCI-951 to be used in the complex computer clusters commonly found in industries such as telecommunications, data communications and medical technology as well as in real time applications.
Board support packages for MS-DOS, Windows 98, 2000, Me, XP, NT 4.0 and Linux are also available.
With the processing power of the Pentium 4 (or Pentium Celeron), the Intel 845G Chipset and up to 2Gbyte of DDR-SDRAM, the PCI-951 is tailored for resource-intensive applications.
The dual 10/100Base-T Ethernet interface makes the board ideal for use in Ethernet based local control networks (eg in the factory automation area) as well as in standard computer networks (eg in server farms).
If faster data throughput is required, the dual Ethernet interface is configurable to 10/100/1000Base-T by means of a software setting.
Further communication options include FireWire, WLAN, Bluetooth and analogue modems.
The optional serial ATA interface enables the full bandwidth of the board's storage media to be made available to each device attached.
Local peripherals are easily connected via the four USB 2.0 interfaces.
The PCI-951 includes: interfaces for CompactFlash, floppy disk drive and standard hard drives, two COM ports (one RS232/RS485/RS422), one LPT, audio support and PS/2 for mouse and keyboard.
Further connectivity is possible via the miniPCI interface.
The full-size PICMG 1.0 PCI-951 is available now. Request a free brochure from Kontron UK ...
