EM-1240-LX User’s Manual | Introduction |
Overview
The EM-1240-LX Series of mini RISC-based communication platforms are ideal for your embedded applications. The EM-1240-LX comes with 4 RS-232/422/485 serial ports and dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN ports to provide users with a versatile communication platform.
The EM-1240-LX uses the MOXA ART ARM9 RISC CPU. Unlike the X86 CPU, which uses a CISC design, the ARM9’s RISC design architecture and modern semiconductor technology provide the EM-1240-LX with a powerful computing engine and communication functions, but without generating too much heat. The built-in 8 MB NOR Flash ROM and 16 MB SDRAM give you enough storage capacity and an additional SD socket provides you with flexible storage expansion to run applications. The dual LAN ports built into the ARM9 make the EM-1240-LX an ideal communication platform for some of the simple data acquisition and protocol conversion applications, and the two RS-232/422/485 serial ports allow you to connect a variety of serial devices.
The pre-installed µClinux operating system provides an open software operating system for software program development. Software written for desktop PCs is easily ported to the EM-1240-LX by using a GNU cross complier, so that you will not need to spend time modifying existing software code. The operating system, device drivers, and your own software can all be stored in the EM-1240-LX’s Flash memory.
