EM-1240 Hardware User’s Manual Introduction
Overview
The EM-1240 Embedded Module is designed for system integration and software development in
industrial data applications. The module features 4 software-selectable RS-232/422/485 serial
ports, two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports, and an SD function based on the Moxa ART ARM9 32-bit
192 MHz communication processor. In addition, you may order the EM-1240 Development Kit.
The kit includes an EM-1240 embedded module, an EM-1240-DK carrier board, and the items
needed for setting up a basic layout. The kit is makes it easy for users to evaluate the functionality
of the EM-1240. You can develop and integrate specific systems on the module in advance to
make the EM-1240 Embedded Module completely compatible with industrial systems and
applications.
The pre-installed open Linux operating system makes the EM-1240 suitable for developing the
control programs used on a standard PC. The software you develop for your own applications can
be stored in the onboard Flash memory. The EM-1240 lets you build an application that has a
powerful serial communication capability, but which is still small in size. The EM-1240 is suited
for control systems that use a distributed, embedded architecture, such as those systems used for
manufacturing automation, intelligent transportation systems, medical management, and data
acquisition and control.
