The VSX-6121-V2 Half-Size family of embedded controller is designed with backward
compatibility in mind, to provide migration path for projects facing end-of-life challenges with their
existing x86 based Half-Size controller. The VSX-6121-V2 family of controller is designed as a
plug in replacement, with backward compatibility to support legacy software to help extend
existing product life cycle without heavy re-engineering.

VSX-6121-V2 is suitable for broad range of data-acquisition, Industrial automation, Process
control, Automotive controller , AVL, Intelligent Vehicle management devic,Medical device,
Human machine interface, Robotics, machinery control And more…application that required
small footprint, low-power and low-cost hardware with open industry standard such as Half-Size.
