1. Introduction

Thank you for using Moxa’s UC-8580 Series computer. The UC-8580 Series computer is a programmable

communication-centric gateway offering a rich variety of communication interfaces, such as Ethernet, serial,

and digital inputs/outputs. This EN 50155-compliant computer is built for rail applications and comes with

multiple wireless WAN gateway interfaces making it an ideal choice for building wireless communication

infrastructure with 802.11b/g/n/ac and LTE data collection and transmission.

This computer runs on the Debian Linux operating system, providing a powerful communication platform

without generating too much heat, even when loaded with heavy application tasks. In addition, the mSATA

socket helps you easily expand the storage capacity for large-scale data acquisition.

This chapter describes the product package checklist, product features, and hardware specifications.
