Working together, the rugged, fanless box computer and conduction-cooled I/O modules provide a truly integrated system for many measurement and control projects.

Acromag (Wixom, MI) has released a new version of their I/O Server Industrial PC, this time with an AMD Geode CPU to reduce costs as an alternative to PC/104 or CompactPCI embedded computers. Field I/O signals are interfaced through an internal carrier card with related plug-in I/O modules. Working together, the rugged, fanless box computer and conduction-cooled I/O modules provide a truly integrated system for many measurement and control projects. Features include:

• A mix of up to 4 mezzanine IOS modules on the slide-out carrier card enables A/D, D/A, discrete monitoring/control, counter/timer, serial communication and FPGA computing functions.
• High-density connectors on the front panel provide clean cable access for 192 channels of field I/O.
• Advanced heat management that allows -40º to 75°C operation without open vents or fans.
• Shock and vibration-resistant for mobile server and transportation projects such as rail or trucking.
• Interchangeable I/O modules offer flexible I/O configuration to easily accommodate continually evolving scientific research, simulation, data acquisition, and test & measurement projects.
• 512 MB of DDR400 DRAM that runs on Windows Embedded Standard or Linux. Standard interfaces include VGA graphics, 2 Ethernet ports, 2 serial ports, 4 USB ports, a CompactFlash slot and audio input/output jacks.
• An internal 2.5” PATA hard disk or solid-state drive is accommodated as a user-installed.
