Fanless operation for high-spec comms platforms
A Moxa Technologies product story
Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Jun 23, 2004
The UC-7400 is a new series of RISC-based embedded communications platforms.
The UC-7400 Series of RISC-based embedded communications platforms features eight RS232/422/485 serial ports, dual 10/100Mbit/s Ethernet, USB 2.0, PCMCIA and a CompactFlash interface for wireless communication and memory expansion.
The UC-7400 comes with Linux pre-installed, giving software programmers the option of developing their own application programs or using open source code.
The onboard IXP-422 processor's RISC-based architecture and modern semiconductor technology differs markedly from the X86's CISC design, providing UC-7400 with a powerful computing engine and communication function, and the ultralow power consumption (less than 2W) CPU eliminates the need for a CPU fan or heatsink, making UC-7400 a high-performance device that will not overheat.
The two 10/100Mbit/s LAN ports provide reliable redundant networking, and hardware encryption (DES, 3DES, AES etc) provides improved application security protection and higher performance.
The UC-7400 Series comes equipped with eight RS232/422/485 three-in-one software-configurable serial ports for various device connections, giving an ample number of ports for any application, and the pre-installed Linux OS provides an open software operation system for software program development.
This means that software written for the desktop PC can be easily ported to the UC-7400 platform by using a Gnu crosscompiler, with no need to modify code.
The UC-7400 uses onboard Flash for storage and CF for storage expansion, and so system failures caused by a low-MTBF hard drive are avoided.
In addition, JFFS2 onboard the Flash disk protects against system crashes caused by unexpected power failures.
With UC-7420's wireless-ready design, users can just add a wireless PCMCIA card to make use of the wireless connection, and eliminate the complications of using wired network connections.
As an added bonus, the UC-7400 Series comes with an LCD module that has 128 x 64 dots with 8 rows and 16 columns, providing a user-friendly interface for onsite monitoring, configuration and troubleshooting.
