Computers for Communication UC-7408 Series

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 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.

Typical Application

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.

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.
