Description:

Using high-reliability components, a wide variety of hardware and software options are available in the tiny Intel ARM-based 400MHz CANmidiBOX™. 64 MB SD-RAM is sufficient to control Windows CE operating systems, while 512 MB CompactFlash card storage can easily be upgraded. Power consumption is low, so reliable cooling is completely passive. DIN-rail-mounted, CANmidiBOX™ can be placed almost anywhere, even in the tightest locations. With standard interfaces of 10/100BaseT Ethernet, USB2.0, RS232, VGA and one CANbus, this versatile controller system has remarkably small dimensions. The widely-used embedded operating system Windows CE 5.0 comes standard, while other choices are possible and can be selected to perfectly match customer needs. Every CANmidiBOX™ system is 100% tested and is customizable even in small quantities, with a guaranteed lifetime availability of 5 years – essential for medical and military equipment design. A wide range of operating systems is offered, with design-team hardware and software support. If required, customer-specific software can be preloaded.
