Features
UC-7408 is a data acquisition embedded computer for
embedded applications. UC-7408 features eight
RS-232/422/485 serial ports, 8-ch digital input, 8-ch digital
output, dual 10/100, a PCMCIA interface for wireless LAN
communication and a CompactFlash slot for mass storage
disk expansion, making UC-7408 ideal for your embedded
applications.
In addition to the 8 RS-232/422/485 serial ports, UC-7408
features an additional 8 digital input and 8 digital output
channels for acquiring data through serial ports, and for
I/O event handling, making it suitable as a data acquisition
solution.
The digital I/O feature of UC-7408 provides users with the
convenience of connecting their digital devices to a front-end
embedded computer. UC-7408 can be used for on/off event
handling by reading the state change of the digital input
signal. In addition, output signals from external digital devices
can be imported into UC-7408’s digital input channels.
UC-7408 can be programmed to take immediate action
when it detects a change in the signal state.
The digital output channels on UC-7408 can connect to
devices and trigger digital output signals to control external
digital devices. Including the digital I/O feature means that
MOXA’s embedded computers support both data acquisition
and protocol conversion via the RS-232/422/485 serial ports,
and simple I/O control with the digital I/O signals.
Choose a pre-installed open standard Linux OS or the
commonly used WinCE OS. This means that software written
for a desktop PC can be easily ported to the UC-7408
platform by using a common compiler, without needing to
modify the software code. All the software you develop for
your own applications can be stored on UC-7408’s Flash
memory.
