The UC-8418 embedded computer comes with 8 RS-232/422/485 serial ports, 3 Ethernet ports, 2 CAN ports, 12 digital input channels, 12 digital output channels, a CompactFlash socket, and 2 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 16 MB NOR Flash ROM and 256 MB SDRAM give you enough memory to run your application software directly on the UC-8418, 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-8418 computer comes with 8 RS-232/422/485 serial ports, digital I/O, and has 3 LAN ports and 2 CANbus ports, making it ideal as a communication platform for industrial applications that require network redundancy.
The UC-8418 comes with the Linux 2.6 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-8418 platform by using a common compiler, without needing to modify the code. This makes the UC-8418 an optimal solution for use with industrial applications, but with minimal cost and effort.
In addition to the standard model, UC-8418 also comes in a -40 to 75°C wide temperature model for harsh industrial environments.
