SBC for reliable embedded control - anywhere
The LP3500 Fox is a low-power single-board computer designed to operate reliably virtually any place it is deployed, especially where power is limited.
Serial-Ethernet bridge handles four at once
The EM1500 serial-Ethernet bridge is a device that converts multipoint serial communications to a TCP/IP network.
Two standard models are available - one with Ethernet, one without.
The Coyote can be customized to user-specified configurations when manufactured in volume orders (over 500).
Various combinations of features are available for memory, 10Base-T or 10/100Base-T Ethernet, digital I/O, serial ports, LEDs and onboard backup battery.
The BL2500 Coyote models are offered for quantities fewer than 500.
The Coyote features the Rabbit 3000 microprocessor at 29.4MHz, 256Kbyte Flash and 128Kbyte SRAM, five serial ports, 16 rugged I/O (plus one A/D input and two D/A outputs), four LEDs and 10 timers.
The Coyote is designed for control and data acquisition of a broad array of industrial applications such as OEM products, equipment, and robotic systems.
All Coyotes come standard with industrial Molex-type connectors for rapid production in an assembly process.
The Ethernet option offering 10Base-T or a 10/100Base-T upgrade (at 44.2MHz) is ideal where a rugged board with low-cost Ethernet connectivity is required.
The Ethernet interface is fully supported by a royalty-free TCP/IP stack to allow easy programming, data acquisition, and control of applications with LAN/WAN or from anywhere in the world via Internet.
Programs are developed for the OEM2500 using Z-World's industry-proven Dynamic C software development system.
An extensive library of drivers and demo programs is also provided.
All Coyotes can be programmed and debugged over Ethernet/Internet using appropriate accessory hardware.
Low-cost development kits, available from $299, contain all the hardware and software tools needed to jumpstart design, including BL2500, demonstration board, Dynamic C SE development software and documentation on CD-ROM, user's manual with schematics, serial cable for programming and debugging, AC adapter (US/Canada only), and Molex-style crimp pins and housings (standard crimping tool sold separately).
