Introduction to Embedded Computers
MOXA Embedded Computers
Wall-mount design
Wall-mount design for easy installation
MOXA embedded computers with their compact size occupy less
space, and their wall-mount design gives you the freedom to
place them anywhere.
No fan, no hard disk operation
Since MOXA embedded computers use an on-board flash for
storage and CF/SD/USB for storage expansion, system failures
caused by a low MTBF hard drive are avoided. With the RISC
CPU, which generates almost no heat, MOXA embedded
computers do not need a fan to cool down the system, thus
providing you with a more reliable system.
Field power friendly
The wide range 12 to 48 VDC power input design makes MOXA embedded computers ready for use with field 24 VDC or 48
VDC power. An optional AC power adaptor is also available for 110 to 240 VAC power inputs.
• Open yet Reliable Operating System for Easy Development
MOXA embedded computers are built on either MontaVista® Linux or Microsoft® Windows® CE 5.0 operating systems (OS).
Building on an open programming environment makes a MOXA embedded computer suitable for software development and
legacy system migration.
• Robust Internal File System and Expandable Data Storage
MOXA embedded computers implement a robust internal file system* for data storage. This file system controls access to the
on-board flash ROM yet prevents flash data from write-corruption when the power shuts down unexpectedly.
MOXA embedded computers also provide the ability to mount external file systems* for additional data storage by attaching
mass storage devices (also accessible by PC) into the CF/SD/USB slot and USB ports.
*The Linux platform supports JFFS2 (Journaling Flash File System Version 2 ) as its internal file system and supports a number of external file systems including
EXT2, EXT3, VFAT, FAT formats. Windows CE 5.0 supports TFAT (Transaction-Safe File Allocation Table) as its internal file system and supports external FAT.
