Original Press Release:
Moxa Technologies Introduces UC-7400 Universal Communicator for Industrial, Embedded Applications
The UC-7400 Series of RISC-based Communication Platforms, which features 8 RS-232/422/485 serial ports, dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, USB 2.0, PCMCIA, CompactFlash interface for wireless communication and flash disk expansion, is designed for your embedded applications. UC-7400 comes with Linux pre-installed, giving software programmers the option of developing their own application programs or using open source code easily.
The IXP-422's RISC-based architecture and modern semiconductor technology differs markedly from the X86's CISC design, providing UC-7400 with a powerful computing engine and communication function, and the ultra low power consumption (less than 2W) CPU eliminates the need for a CPU fan or heat sink, making UC-7400 into a high performance device that won't overheat.
The two 10/100M LAN ports with built-in IXP-422 provide you with a more reliable redundant network application, and hardware encryption (DES, 3DES, AES, etc.) gives your applications better security protection and higher performance. The UC-7400 Series comes equipped with 8 RS-232/422/485 3-in-1 software configurable serial ports for various device connections, giving you an ample number of serial ports for any application, and the pre-installed Linux OS provides an open software operation system for your software program development. This means that software written for the desktop PC can be easily ported to the UC-7400 platform by using a GNU cross compiler, without needing to modify the code.
Since UC-7400 uses an on-board flash for storage and CF for storage expansion, system failures caused by a low MTBF hard drive are avoided. In addition, a Journaling Flash Flash System (JFFS2) onboard the flash disk protects against system crashes caused by unexpected power failures. And with the RISC IXP-422 CPU, which generates almost no heat, UC-7400 does not need a fan to cool down the system, providing you with a more reliable system. With UC-7420's wireless-ready design, just add the wireless PCMCIA card to make use of the wireless connection, and eliminate the complications of using wired network connections. As an added bonus, the UC-7400 Series comes with an LCM that has 160 x 64 dots with 8 rows and 16 columns, providing a user-friendly interface for onsite monitoring, configuration, and troubleshooting.
The UC-7400 Series includes two models:
Model Serial LAN DRAM Flash PCMCIA/ USB USB
CompactFlash Hosts* Clients*
UC-7420 8 2 128 MB 32 MB 1/1 2 1
UC-7410 8 2 128 MB 32 MB 0 --- 1
*The USB Host and Client functions are reserved for future enhancement.
