Onboard DI/O for Counter, Alarm/Event Handling
UNO-3074 features onboard DI and DO. These DIs and DOs can be used as 32-bit counters or to handle alarms and events. Any events can be passed to UNO-3074 through DIs with an additional DI plug-in card. UNO-3074 can also output alarms through onboard DOs immediately to notify key personnel about urgent events.
Flexible Networking Options
UNO-3074 offers three ways to connect to a network: Ethernet, Wireless LAN and Modem. The two built-in Ethernet ports provide high-speed net- working capability up to 100 Mbps. The PCMCIA extension with PCM- CIA wireless LAN module offers you a mobile and scalable network without incurring additional cabling costs. And through COM ports of UNO-3074, industrial modems offer the most popular and easiest net- working method by PSTN.
Popular Operating Systems and Rapid Application Development
UNO-3074 supports the popular off-the-shelf Microsoft Windows 2000/ NT/XP operating systems and the Linux operating system. UNO-3074 also features pre-built Microsoft Windows XP embedded or Windows CE solu- tions offering a pre-configured image with optimized onboard device driv- ers. Microsoft Windows CE and XP Embedded are compact, highly efficient, and real-time operating systems that are designed for embedded systems without a HDD. There is no need to waste time and energy on developing onboard device drivers or using the Platform Builder to build a custom Windows CE image, they have all been done for the Advantech UNO-3000 series. Through the built-in runtime library and Software Development Kit (SDK), the UNO-3000 series leverages your existing Windows-based programming skills to rapidly develop applications.
