By DE Editors

The Industrial Automation Group of Advantech (Cincinnati, OH) introduced the UNO-1170, an embedded automation computer that offers an Intel Celeron M or Pentium M CPU and 512MB/1GB DDR SDRAM.

The UNO-1170 provides higher computing power than other device-level controllers and comes in a compact aluminum chassis with fanless and diskless design. The UNO-1170 can operate in temperatures up to 60 percent C and has a 512KB SRAM battery back-up system in the event of sudden shut down.

There are two Ethernet, three serial (RS-232/422/485), three external USB 2.0 ports and one internal secure USB port. The UNO-1170’s front-accessibility makes it convenient for wiring and its DIN-rail design allows easy installation. With OS and driver support, such as Windows XP Embedded, WinCE 6.0, and embedded Linux,  users can integrate applications easy. The UNO-1170 is available with a pre-configured Windows CE and XP Embedded image with optimized onboard device drivers. It is suited for machine builder applications, such as electronic discharge and industrial textile machines.

Advantech also unveiled the ARK-6310-6M01E Core 2 Duo Embedded System, which comes with a high-performance Intel Core 2 Duo 1.06 GHz processor on the motherboard. The fanless design operates silently and works reliably in harsh environments. The compact, rugged industrial system is a powerful, all-in-one embedded box PC with expansion capability, says the company, making it suitable for industrial automation, kiosk/POI, digital signage (DSA), gaming, and other embedded applications.

The ARK-6310-6M01E comes with a high-performance Intel Core 2 Duo 1.06 GHz processor on the motherboard. The Intel 965GME Express chipset features an onboard Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100, and delivers high-quality 3D/video/graphics to fulfill application requirements. It offers I/O connections, two Gigabit Ethernet ports, four USB 2.0 ports, two COM ports,  DVI, VGA, and PS/2, and it supports various Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, and XP Embedded (XPe).

The cushioned anti-vibration design secures one 2.5-in. SATA HDD/SSD with maximum reliability.
