Artila Electronics Co. announced their PAC-5070, an ARM9-based single board computer with advanced data acquisition capability. The PAC-5070 integrates low power ARM9 SoC, isolated digital and analog I/O, 64MB SDRAM and 16MB flash memory with pre-installed Linux OS into a compact and DIN RAIL mountable module.
Artila’s ARM9 PAC-5070 Integrates Data AcquisitionEquipped with four channels of 16-bit sigma-delta A/D, the PAC-5070’s fully isolated design allows accurate measurement within harsh and noisy environments. Eight channels of photo isolated input and high drive transistor output are available for digital I/O monitor and control.
PAC-5070 key features include:
- Atmel 180MHz ARM9 CPU AT91RM9200, 64MB SDRAM and 16MB Flash
- Pre-built Linux 2.6 OS with file system
- 4 channels isolated 16-bit multiplexed analog inputs
- 8 channels opto-isolated digital inputs
- 8 channels 500mA high-drive output
- Two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports
- One RS-232 and one RS-485 port
- Two USB 2.0 host ports for add-on functions
- One SD memory card slot for storage expansion
- GNU C/C++ tool chain for Linux and Windows platform
- 9~40 VDC input range
- Industrial DIN RAIL Mounting
Open and standard programming environment
The PAC-5070 is a true Linux computing platform with file system support. Users can operate the PAC-5070 the same
way as they do on a normal Linux desktop. Open-source GNU Tool Chain, including C/C++ cross-compiler and POSIX standard C/C++ library, is bundled with the PAC-5070 for free.
Network enabled and Web ready
The PAC-5070 provides two 10/100Mbps Ethernet ports. Asophiticated Web server is pre-installed for users to
implement applications which need Web-based remote monitor and controls. In addition, it is easy to add
IEEE-802.11b/g WiFi support through the PAC-5070's USB 2.0 ports.
High-speed serial interface
Also, the PAC-5070 provides one RS-232 and one RS-485 serial ports, running up to 921.6kbps. The RS-485 port supports hardware direction control.
On-board industrial digital I/Os
The PAC-5070 provides 8 channels of 2500Vrms opto-isolated digital input and 8 channels of 500mA high-drive digital outputs. Each input/output channel comes with a on/off status LED.
16-bit High-precision analog inputs
The PAC-5070 features an on-board 16-bit high-precision A/D converter, which can measure up to 4 channel of mV, V, or 0~20mA analog signals, up to 10 readings per second.
Optional 2GB SD Card for Data Storage
Users can install one standard SD Flash memory card, up to 2GB now, into the PAC-5070 as an additional hard drive.
