Offers 128 MB SD-RAM Capabilities, Weighs Less than One Pound
Pittsford, NY, USA -Saelig Company, Inc. (Saelig) (www.saelig.com) has announced the debut of CANminiBOX(TM), a versatile, compact embedded controller that is particularly well-suited for embedded CANbus control applications. Units incorporate high-reliability components, with a wide variety of hardware and software options also available in the tiny Élan-based CANminiBOX(TM). The product's 128 MB SD-RAM capacity is sufficient to control the pre-installed Linux OS (other options available), while a 512 MB CompactFlash card storage can easily be upgraded. CANminiBOX(TM) also offers low power consumption (less than 6W), ensuring the reliability of passive cooling. DIN-rail mounted units can be placed almost anywhere, even in the tightest locations, due to its remarkably small dimensions: 3" x 2" x 4.7".
Even with a diverse array of front panel standard interface connections, this versatile controller system weighs less than 1 lb. The unit's Linux operating system comes pre-installed as standard, while other choices such as QNX or VxWorks are easily integrated to suit customer needs. Each CANminiBOX(TM) system is 100% tested and customizable with additional I/O or CANbus ports, even in small quantities, with design-team hardware and software support at no extra cost. CANminiBOX(TM)'s guaranteed lifetime of at least five years is essential when designing-in controllers for medical or military and aerospace equipment.
CANminiBOX(TM) features an AMD Élan 133MHz SC520 processor with 128 MB internal SD-RAM and 512 MB SD-RAM CompactFlash, with front-panel availability for 10/100MBit/s Ethernet, status LED's, an RS232 serial port, a CAN port, and one USB1.1 port. Units are 10-28VDC powered, making them ideal for vehicle battery-powered operation. CANminiBOX(TM) is designed to operate within an ambient temperature range of 0 to +50° C (+32° F to +120° F). All inputs feature ESD protection of 2kV. Fanless operation provides fit-and-forget, maintenance-free operation, making CANminiBOX(TM) the perfect solution for a wide variety of embedded automation needs.
