Introduction
 

ThinkCore DA-663 products are RISC-based ready-to-run embedded computers designed for industrial data applications. These embedded computers feature 16 software-selectable RS-232/422/485 serial ports and dual 100Base fiber ports, and are based on the Intel XScale IXP-425 communication processor. All of these great features are packed into standard 1U, 19-inch wide rack-mounted rugged enclosures. The robust, rack-mountable mechanism design provides the hardened protection needed for industrial environment applications, and lets users easily install the embedded computers on a standard 19-inch rack. ThinkCore DA-663 products are not only suitable for the IT machine control room, but also for the critical assets found in the control and automation system of industrial plant floors, and even in electric power utility substations. To make the computers suitable for mandy types of industrial applications, ThinkCore DA-663 products provide a wide range of power inputs from 100 to 240V, suitable for both AC and DC power lines. Due to the no hard disk, fan-less and energy efficient design, ThinkCore DA-661 products minimize heat generation, are able to operate 365/7/24 in heavy duty, harsh industrial environments to deliver strongly reliable, powerful computing, and provide the high performance expected of multifunctional controller usage.

You may choose from the pre-installed, ready-to-run, open standard Linux OS, or the more common WinCE OS for your software program development. The built-in SDK provides a convenient tool for developing control programs, and follows the common programming procedures used on a standard PC. The software you develop for your own applications can be stored in the onboard Flash memory. The DA-663 computers make it easy to build control systems with distributed architecture on embedded technologies such as for SCADA systems, plant floor automation, and power electricity monitoring.

The Next Link in IPC Evolution—Embedded Systems for Industry (PDF, 44 KB)
  Industry is moving to adopt RISC-based, all-in-one computers that use an embedded Linux operating system. This type of front-end computer is extremely versatile and robust, and offers significant savings compared to traditional IPCs.
Why You Should Choose Linux as Your Embedded Operating System (PDF, 46 KB)
  Embedded operating systems can be divided into three categories: Linux, Windows CE, and customized or proprietary operating systems. Due to its versatility and stability, Linux is the best OS choice for programmable devices.
