UC-7112 Plus/7112/7110 User’s Manual Introduction
1-2
Overview
The UC-71xx series of mini, RISC-based communication platforms are ideal for embedded
applications. All three computers in the series (UC-7112 Plus, UC-7112, and UC-7110) come with
2 RS-232/422/485 serial ports and dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN ports to provide users with a
versatile communication platform.
The UC-71xx series computers use the MOXA ART ARM9 192 MHz RISC CPU. Unlike the x86
CPU, which uses a CISC design, the ARM9’s RISC design architecture and modern
semiconductor technology provide these computers with a powerful computing engine and
communication functions, but without generating too much heat. The built-in NOR Flash ROM
(16 MB for UC-7112 Plus, 8 MB for UC-7112/7110) and SDRAM (32 MB for UC-7112 Plus, 16
MB for UC-7112/7110) give you plenty of storage capacity, and the SD socket provides greater
flexibility for running various applications. The dual LAN ports built into the ARM9 allow the
UC-71xx computers to be used as communication platform for basic data acquisition and protocol
conversion applications, and the two RS-232/422/485 serial ports allow you to connect a variety of
serial devices.
The UC-7112 and UC-7110 come with the µClinux operating system pre-installed, and the
UC-7112 Plus comes with the Linux operating system with MMU support pre-installed. Software
written for desktop PCs is easily ported to the UC-71xx computers with a GNU cross complier, so
that you will not need to spend time modifying existing software code. The operating system,
device drivers, and your own software can all be stored in the computers’ Flash memory.
