Overview:

The IA260 embedded computers come with 4 RS-232/422/485 serial ports, dual Ethernet ports, 8 digital input channels, 8 digital output channels, a VGA output, 2 USB hosts, and a CompactFlash socket. The computers are housed in a compact, IP40 protected, industrial-strength aluminum case.

The IA260 computers use the Cirrus Logic EP9315 ARM9, 32-bit, 200 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 128 MB SDRAM give you enough memory to run your application software directly on the IA260.

The patented ''H-Type'' heat dissipation design makes the IA260 an ideal computing unit for applications in extremely hot field sites, since it can directly transmit heat from inside the housing to the air. With its built-in VGA output interface, the IA260 computers are suitable for use with SCADA systems in industrial applications, such as factory automation, production line process monitoring, and mining automation, that require VGA and HMI features.

The IA260 computers support RS-232/422/485, digital I/O, and have dual LAN ports, making them ideal as communication platforms for industrial applications that require network redundancy. In addition to the standard model, a wide temperature (-40 to 75°C) model is available for use in harsh industrial automation environments.

The IA260 computers come with Windows CE 6.0 pre-installed, and support general Windows and .NET 2.0 computing environments. This means that programs developed for standard PC operating systems with tools such Embedded Visual C++ or Visual Studio 2005 can run on the IA260 without much porting effort.
