Overview
The UC-7408 data acquisition embedded computers feature 8
RS-232/422/485 serial ports, an 8-ch digital input and 8-ch digital
output, dual 10/100 Mbps ports, a PCMCIA interface for wireless
LAN communication, and CompactFlash slot for mass storage disk
expansion.
The digital output channels on the UC-7408 can connect to devices
and trigger digital output signals to control external digital devices.
With the digital I/O feature, Moxa’s embedded computers support both
data acquisition and protocol conversion through the RS-232/422/485
serial ports, and simple I/O control with the digital I/O signals.
The digital I/O feature of the UC-7408 series provides users with the
convenience of connecting digital devices to a front-end embedded
computer. The UC-7408 can be used for on/off event handling by
reading the state change of the digital input signal. In addition, output
signals from external digital devices can be imported through the UC-
7408’s digital input channels, and the UC-7408 can be programmed
to take immediate action when it detects a change in the state of the
signal.
UC-7408 embedded computers come pre-installed with either the
open standard Linux OS, or the more common WinCE OS. Software
written for a desktop PC can be easily ported to the UC-7408 platform
by using a common compiler, without needing to modify the code, and
the software you develop for your own applications can be stored in
the UC-7408’s flash memory.
In addition to the standard model, a wide temperature (-40 to
75°C) model of the UC-7408 is available for use in harsh industrial
environments.
