1.1 Introduction

The FES-6911 FES-series Advanced Embedded Control system continues the FES design concept but focuses on the fast expanding Machine Automation market. The FES-6911 can provide 1~2 PCI slots for expansion. Therefore FES-6911'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 Over-spec Design

Intel's® popular Pentium M processor with speeds of 1.6GHz up to 2.0GHz combined with fanless design and high performance is widely acceptable and dependable in this market. USB 2.0, Ethernet and 4 Serial ports allow communication with diverse devices with a high transfer rate. Furthermore, the FES-6911 can concurrently support three tiers of expansion interfaces - PCI, PCMCIA and mini-PCI.

These interfaces are fully integrated within the FES series and allow an upgrade to their usefulness. It is a leading-edge thermal and vibration design (up to 60 degree operation and 5G RMS vibration) and also an innovation for Machine Automation in the IPC industry. FES-6911 plays a role in connecting all subsystems in common applications. Acnodes not only enhances your competitive value but also gives you an excellent solution for the future.

Strict Quality Control Process
