Chapter 1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Moxa UC-8410/8416/8418 RISC-based ready-to-run embedded
computer.

The UC-8410/8416/8418 feature 8 RS-232/422/485 serial ports, 3 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports,
digital input and digital output channels, switching ports, and CompactFlash and USB ports for
adding additional memory. All of these features make the UC-8410/8416/8418 ideal for your
embedded applications.

This manual introduces the hardware of the UC-8410/8416/8418 embedded computers. After a
brief introduction of the hardware features, we focus on installing and configuring the hardware.

The following topics are covered in this chapter:

UC-8410/8416/8418 Hardware User’s Manual Introduction

Overview

The UC-8410/8416/8418 features 8 RS-232/422/485 serial ports, 3 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports, 4
digital input channels and 4 digital output channels (12 digital input channels and 12 digital output
channels for the UC-8418), 8 10/100 Mbps swi t ch po rt s (U C -8 41 6 o nly), a CompactFlash slot for
flash disk expansion, and 2 USB ports for adding additional memory (such as a USB flash drive).

The UC-8410/8416/8418 uses an Intel XScale IXP435 533 MHz RISC CPU. Unlike the X86 CPU,
which uses a CISC design, the IXP-425’s RISC design architecture and modern semiconductor
technology provide the UC-8410/8416/8418 with a powerful computing engine and
communication functions, but without generating a lot of heat. The built-in 16 MB NOR Flash
ROM and 256 MB SDRAM give you enough memory to run your application software directly on
the UC-8410/8416/8418. Since the dual LAN ports are built into the IXP435 CPU, the
UC-8410/8416/8418 is good solution for network security applications.
