Embedded Automation Computers
Introduction
Advantech's Embedded Automation Computers are designed to fulfill the needs of mission-critical
automation applications. Their embedded design, rugged features and powerful computing technology
deliver reliability and flexibility. These computers are targeted to satisfy customers looking for a robust
and compact computing platform with an industrial design and built-in I/O to handle diverse automation
applications.
The UNO series takes advantage of field-proven and real-time operating systems that are used
worldwide, such as Microsoft Windows CE .NET, and Windows XP Embedded. These operating systems
are combined with several standard networking interfaces, including; Ethernet, wireless networking,
RS-232/422/485, onboard I/O interfaces, PC Cards, and much more. Because of their open architectures,
great expansion capabilities and reliable fanless and diskless design, Advantech’s UNO series are ideal
platforms for implementing custom industrial applications, such as SoftLogic controllers, communication
gateways, data loggers, facility monitoring systems, device management, and Fieldbus network control
systems.
Industrial-Grade Designs for Harsh Environments
The UNO series are highly rugged and robust, making them suitable for critical and harsh environments.
UNO’s special cooling system design eliminates the weakness of traditional PC’s by eliminating fans and
moving parts. They are also designed with a strong mechanical design that has excellent shock and
vibration resistance. They can endure high operating temperatures, and almost anything an industrial
environment can demand.
Open-System Architecture Designed for Automation
The UNO series has an open-system architecture, which provides the most popular interfaces, such as
RS-232/422/485 serial communication ports, Ethernet ports, USB ports, CompactFlash, PC/104 slots, PCI
slots, PC Card extension slots, and VGA for display panels. With rich interface support, the UNO series
can connect to diverse devices and equipment for better automation control.
An Embedded OS for Rapid Application Development
UNO provides an embedded operating system that offers a pre-configured image with optimized onboard
device drivers. Users can choose between three of the most popular embedded operating systems:
Microsoft Windows CE .NET, Microsoft Windows
XP Embedded, and Embedded Linux. These embedded
operating systems fulfill the toughest requirements for complete functionality and high reliability. You will
quickly discover how the UNO series proves to be an application-ready platform that saves time and
energy, which is crucial when launching a new project.
