V2406 Series

x86 ready-to-run embedded computers with Intel Atom N270, VGA, DVI-I,
audio, 2 LANs, 4 serial ports, 6 DIs, 2 DOs, 3 USB 2.0 ports, Compact­Flash

Overview

The V2406 Series embedded computers are based on the Intel Atom
N270 x86 processor, and feature 4 RS-232/422/485 serial ports, dual
LAN ports, and 3 USB 2.0 hosts. V2406 computers provide VGA and
DVI-I outputs, and in addition are compliant with the essential sections
of EN 50155 covering operating temperature, power input voltage,
power surges, ESD, and vibration, making them particularly well-suited
for railway and industrial applications.

The dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports with M12 connectors offer
a reliable solution for network redundancy, promising continuous
operation for data communication and management. As an added

› Intel Atom N270 1.6 GHz processor
› DDR2 SODIMM socket supporting DDR2 533 up to 2 GB (max.)
› Dual independent displays (VGA + DVI-I)
› 2 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports with M12 connectors
› 4 RS-232/422/485 serial ports (non-standard baudrates supported)
› 3 USB 2.0 ports for high speed peripherals
› 6 DIs, 2 DOs
› CompactFlash socket for storage expansion
› 1 SATA-II connector for hard disk drive expansion
› M12 power connector
› Compliant with EN 50121-4 and essential sections of EN 50155
› Ready-to-run Embedded Linux, or Windows Embedded Standard

2009 platform

› -40° to 70°C wide temperature models available

convenience, the V2406 computers have 6 DIs and 2 DOs for
connecting digital input/output devices, and the CompactFlash feature
provides the reliability needed for industrial applications that require
data buffering and storage expansion.

Pre-installed with Linux or Windows Embedded Standard 2009, the
V2406 Series provides programmers with a friendly environment for
developing sophisticated, bug-free application software at a low cost.
Wide temperature models of the V2406 Series that operate reliably in a

-40 to 70°C operating temperature range are also available, offering an
optimal solution for applications subjected to harsh environments.
