An Industry-Proven
Design
Industrial and mobile applications require controllers with high-vibration
specifications and
a wide
temperature range. Machines
or controllers in
light industrial environments also require flexible and
stable mounting.
Many machine builders underestimate
the need for a
more rugged
control-
ler
because their end
applications
are mounted in an industrial enclosure.
Advantech UNO-3074 has
a special
design without the weaknesses of a
standard
PC. No fan and no
HDD design prevent dust
and
vibration prob-
lems.
A
battery-backup function secures the last state of the
system,
mak-
ing
system crashes less
problematic. With a smart
mechanical design,
UNO-3074 can
meet 50G shock, 2G vibration, up to 50° operating tem-
perature and almost everything
a harsh industrial environment
demands.
Off-the-shelf Universal
PCI Extensions
From a computing point of view, the UNO-3074 with its PC-based
control
CPU is a high-end machine controller. It can be simply operated with the
onboard
Ethernet
interface or with a
PC Fieldbus
card.
Two free PCI slots
are also available.
In addition,
Advantech offers a complete product line
for plug-in data acquisition and control
I/O
cards, motion control cards,
GPIB cards,
industrial
communication and Fieldbus communication
cards,
providing a
complete PC-based solution.
Front Access
Connections
All
PC connections are on one side of the housing.
The PC
can optionally
be
equipped with mounting plates and fastened with screws in a
control
cabinet.
All mechanical
parts
have
a simple design, and
the drivers and
plug-in
cards
are easily
accessible without compromising system perfor-
mance
or integrity. The
installation options are also well
balanced.
Designed
to Fit
Into Control Cabinets
The fully-fledged UNO-3074 could
easily be mistaken for a
PLC
by its
look and feel. In
completely
new
packaging, the smallest
UNO only
mea-
sures
180 x 177
x
237 mm (W x H x D). But
the
UNO-3074 not only deals
with PLC tasks, but also offers all
the
operating and
communication power
of a modern PC with its Intel Celeron or
Pentium III processor and Win-
dows Operating System software. So, Adventech UNO-3074 is a
small,
powerful and inexpensive
PLC
substitute.
