Z-World's New Low-Cost MiniCom: Operator Interface/SBC with Optional Ethernet


Davis, Calif., January 31, 2002 - Z-World's new OP6800 MiniCom is a low-cost, C-programmable operator interface and single-board computer that gives OEM designers Ethernet connectivity, plenty of industrialized I/O, and a graphic LCD/keypad. The MiniCom's compact 4.5" x 3.6" (112 x 91 mm) form factor makes it ideal for use in designs and areas with size constraints. Available in both Ethernet-enabled and non-Ethernet versions, the MiniCom provides comprehensive integrated control, display, and networking capabilities via Internet/Ethernet or serial communications.

The OP6800 with Ethernet is value priced at $249, while the non-Ethernet OP6810 is only $199. Both MiniCom models feature 24 rugged digital I/O, an international-character 122 x 32 pixel LCD, user-relegendable keypad with 7-key/ 7-LED interface, 4 serial ports, Rabbit 2000(TM) processor at 22.1 MHz, and 256K Flash/128K SRAM (standard). The OP6800's Ethernet capabilities facilitate remote diagnostics, communication, and control, including sending and receiving E-mails and alerts.

When front-panel mounted, the MiniCom meets NEMA 4 water-resistance standards so it can withstand harsh environments.

Programs are developed for the MiniCom using Z-World's industry-proven Dynamic C(R) Premier software development system. An extensive library of drivers and sample programs is provided, along with a royalty-free TCP/IP stack with source code. A font converter program is supplied, and different fonts, languages, and sizes can be used simultaneously.

A complete tool kit, available for just $139, contains all the tools needed to jumpstart design, including demo/prototyping board with screw terminals, serial cable for programming and debugging, user's manual with schematics, AC adapter (domestic kits only), and screwdriver.
