UC-7400-CE User’s Manual Introduction
Overview
The Moxa UC-7400-CE Series (referred to in this manual as the UC-7400-CE) includes the
UC-7420-CE, UC-7410-CE, and UC-7408-CE. These RISC-based ready-to-run embedded
computers are ideal for embedded applications. The UC-7400-CE features 8 RS-232/422/485
serial ports, dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports, 8 digital input and 8 digital output channels, a
PCMCIA interface for wireless LAN communication, a CompactFlash port for flash disk
expansion, and USB ports for adding additional memory (such as a USB flash disk).
The UC-7400-CE uses an Intel XScale IXP-422 266 MHz RISC CPU. Unlike the X86 CPU,
which uses a CISC design, the IXP-422’s RISC design architecture and modern semiconductor
technology provide the UC-7400-CE with a powerful computing engine and communication
functions, but without generating a lot of heat. The built-in 32 MB NOR Flash ROM and 128 MB
SDRAM provide enough memory for running application software directly from the UC-7400.
Since the dual LAN ports are built into the IXP-422 CPU, the UC-7400-CE makes an ideal
communication platform for network security applications. If your application requires placing the
UC-7400-CE at a site that is not located near an Ethernet LAN connection, you can connect to the
network by using the UC-7400’s PCMCIA port to attach a wireless LAN card.
The UC-7400-CE series of ready-to-run embedded computers use the Microsoft® Windows® CE
5.0 operating system (OS), which makes them suitable for new system development and legacy
system migration.
All of the necessary device drivers, such as a PCMCIA wireless LAN module and keypad, LCM,
and buzzer control, are included with UC-7400-CE. The operating system, device drivers, and the
software you develop for your own application can all be stored in the UC-7400’s flash memory.
