Overview

The Moxa UC-8430 embedded computer comes with 8 RS-232/422/485 serial ports, 3 Ethernet ports, dual displays, 4 digital input channels, 4 digital output channels, a CompactFlash socket, and 6 USB 2.0 hosts.

The computer uses the Intel XScale IXP435 533 MHz RISC CPU. This powerful computing engine supports several useful communication functions, but will not generate too much heat. The built-in 32 MB NOR Flash ROM and 256 MB SDRAM give you enough memory to run your application software directly on the UC-8430, and the 32 MB NAND Flash can be used to provide additional data storage.

Moreover, the 256 KB SRAM offers a better data retention mechanism for avoiding data loss. The UC-8430 computer comes with 8 RS-232/422/485 serial ports, digital I/O, and has 3 LAN ports, making it ideal as a communication platform for industrial applications that require network redundancy. As an added convenience, the UC-8430 comes with dual VGA outputs; this is particularly helpful when establishing an industrial application at the remote field site.

The UC-8430 comes with the Linux 2.6 or Windows CE 6.0 platform pre-installed to provide an open software operating system for software program development. Software written for a desktop PC can be easily ported to the UC-8430 platform by using a common compiler, without needing to modify the code. This makes the UC-8430 an optimal solution for use with industrial applications, but with minimal cost and effort.

A wide temperature model of the UC-8430, designed to operate reliably in temperatures ranging from -40 to 75°C, is also available.
