1. Introduction

The Moxa UC-7110/7112 series of embedded computers are RISC-based, box-type computers that feature
dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports, two RS-232/422/485 serial ports, and an ARM9 processor. The computers
come with Linux pre-installed. In addition, the UC-71 12 Plus and UC-711 2 h ave an internal SD socket for
storage expansion to offer high perfor mance com munic a tio n with unlimite d storage in a super-compact,
palm-size box. The UC-7110/7112 series of embedded computers are the right solution for embedded
applications that call for a small computer , b ut that can stor e large amounts of memory and provide good
computing performance.

Overview

The UC-7110/7112 series of RISC-based communication platforms are ideal for embedded applications. All
three computers in the series (UC-7110, UC-7 112, and UC-7112 Plus) come with 2 RS-232/422/ 485 serial
ports and dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN ports to provide users with a versa tile com municatio n platform.

The UC-7110/7112 se ries comput ers u se th e Moxa ART ARM9 192 MHz RISC CPU. Unlike the x86 CPU, which
uses a CISC design, the ARM9’s RISC design architecture and modern semiconductor technology provide these
computers with a powerful computing engine and communication functions, but without generating too much
heat. The built-in NOR Flash ROM (8 MB for UC-7110/7112, 16 MB for UC-7112 Plus) and SDRAM (16 MB for
UC-7110/7112, 32 MB for UC-711 2 Plus) give you plenty of storage capacity, and the SD socket provides
greater flexibility for running various applic ations. The dual LAN ports built into the ARM9 allow the UC-71xx
computers to be us ed as communication platforms for basic data acquisition and protocol conversion
applications, and the two RS-232/422/485 seria l ports allow you to connect a variety of serial devices.

The UC-7110 and UC-7112 come with the µClinux operating system pre-installed, and the UC-7112 Plus comes
with the Linux operating system with MMU suppor t pre-installed. Software written for desktop PCs is easily
ported to the UC-71xx computers with a GNU cross complier, so that you will not need to spend time modifying
existing software code. The operating system, device drivers, and your own software can all be s tored in the
computers’ Flash memory.
