ADLINK's MXC-2000 series is an exceptionally fanless expandable embedded computer with configurable PCI and PCIe slots. It is designed to provide a reliable platform for a wide variety of applications by accepting standard PCI and PCIe cards. The MXC-2000 series can operate in a -20 to 70¢XC temperature range and withstands 5 Grms vibration. Its fanless and cable-less structure provides additional durability for long-term usage.
The MXC-2000 series features the Intel® Atom? N270 1.6 GHz processor to deliver adequate performance at low power. Its PCI and PCIe slots enable the possibility of integrating off-the-shelf PCI/PCIe cards for a configurable application platform. Generic I/O interfaces, such as Gigabit Ethernet, COM, and USB are provided for connecting devices, while VGA+S-Video dual graphic outputs to allow connections to larger displays such as an LCD TV. The MXC-2000 series also integrates ADLINK in-house DIO design to deliver optional isolated DIO channels for industrial control usage.
ADLINK's MXC-2000 series is the perfect combination of configurability, reliability, durability, and compactness. With the MXC-2000 series, creating your rugged application system has never been easier.
