The AEC-6930 BOXER 2 Advanced Embedded Control system
continues the BOXER design concept but focuses on the fast
expanding Machine Automation market. The AEC-6930 can
provide two PCI slot for expansion. Therefore AEC-6930’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, test instrumentation and safety surveillance.
Outstanding Ov er-spec Design
®
Intel’s
CoreTM 2 Duo processor with 1.60 GHz combined with
fanless design and high performance is widely acceptable and
dependable in this market. USB 2.0, Quad ports GbE Ethernet
and 4 Serial ports allow communication with diverse devices with
a high transfer rate. Furthermore, the AEC-6930 can concurrently
support three tiers of expansion interfaces - PCI, PCMCIA and
mini-PCI. These interfaces are fully integrated within the BOXER
series and allow an upgrade to their usefulness. It is a
leading-edge thermal and vibration design (up to 55 degree
operation and 5G RMS vibration) and also an innovation for
Machine Automation in the IPC industry. AEC-6930 plays a role
in connecting all subsystems in common applications. AAEON
