1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 About Ruggcore™ Embedded Controller
Due to the growing popularity from the IPC market, the newest Ruggcore™ series
REC3425 Embedded Controller has been launched. Compared with the REC3423, it is
an advanced version because it utilizes an Intel® Core 2 Duo processor without a fan.
The REC3425 Embedded Controller system’s design concept not only focuses on the fast
expanding Machine Automation market but also the Industrial Automation industry. The
REC3425 provide one mini PCI slot (internal) for expansion.
In this era of information explosion, the advertising of consumer products will not be
confined to the family television, but will also spread to high-traffic public areas,
like retailer, the bus, transportation station, the supermarket etc. The advertising
marketing industry will resort to every conceivable means to transmit product
information to consumers. System integrators will need a multifunction device to
satisfy commercial needs for such public advertising.
Being a control center, the REC3425 is suitable for public multimedia entertainment
services. Equipped with a high efficiency heat conduction mechanism, the REC3425
is compact in size but has attractive and flexible extension capabilities.
A solid sealed aluminum case provides vibration and dust resistance while also providing
a passive cooling solution. The REC3425 provides system integrators with a turn-key
solution and versatile application development path to fulfill the diversified market
demand.
The REC3425 can be used as a standalone system, and wall-mounted. The system
accepts a wide range of power supplies (DC power in). The rugged aluminum case not
only provides great protection from EMI, shock/vibration, cold and heat, but also passive
cooling for quiet fanless operation.
The REC3425 Embedded Computer supports Compact Flash card and SATA II HDD for
storage options and it can provide the diversified application field. Therefore REC3425’s
expandable function, compact size combined with fanless design and highly efficient
heat conduction mechanism can fulfill any rugged technical application in industrial
automation, factory control, and test instrumentation.
