Moxa UC-8400 Series embedded computers

Moxa has rolled out the UC-8400 series RISC-based communication embedded computers with built-in PCI-104 bus for flexible expansion. The range includes the UC-8410 entry-level version, the UC-8416 and the UC-8418.

The UC-8400 series embedded computers use the Intel XScale IXP435 533 MHz RISC CPU and come with eight RS-232/422/485 serial ports, three ethernet ports, four+four DI/DO channels, a CompactFlash socket, two USB 2.0 hosts and a built-in PCI-104 bus for flexible expansion. The UC-8416 model also provides eight 10/100 Mbps ethernet switch ports while the UC-8418 features two CANbus ports. The built-in 16 MB NOR Flash, 32 MB NAND Flash ROM and 256 MB DDR2 SDRAM provide enough memory to run application software directly on the UC-8400 series with data storage. The 256 KB SRAM also offers improved data retention to avoid data loss. All UC-8400 series computers are FCC Class B certified.

The UC-8416 and UC-8418 come with the Linux 2.6 platform pre-installed to provide an open software operating system for software program development. Software written for a desktop PC can be easily ported to the UC-8416 and UC-8418 platform by using a common compiler, without needing to modify the code.

In addition to the standard models, the UC-8416 and UC-8418 are also available in -40 to 75 °C wide temperature models for harsh industrial environments.
