Thank you for choosing the LEC-3012-A4/A6/A8. The
LEC-3012 series is an industrial computer featuring
a different number of serial communication ports
in a compact frame design (69mm(W)x170mm(H)
x127.6mm(D)).
The LEC-3012 has an innovative industrial and mechanical
design. It can be placed on desk or mounted on din-rails.
The din-rail mount allows rotation of the device along its
din-rail attachment for easy access of the I/O interfaces.
This reduces maintenance effort when the device is
installed in a ticketing machine, medical equipment, or
other apparatus where space is limited and access is not
convenient.
The LEC-3012 also features a solid and sealed aluminum
extrusion framing.
Here is the summary of the key capabilities of LEC3012:
Onboard Intel N455 plus ICH8M chipset•
A total of 4, 6, or 8 serial ports depending on the •
models: the RS-232/422/485 ports with automatic
flow control via terminal block connector.
Two or four10/100/1000 Base-T RJ-45 ports (all ports •
have power surge and ESD protection with 2K).
Four USB ports (2 external and 2 internal pin headers)•
The block diagram depicts the relationships among the
interfaces and modules on the motherboard.
