Introduction
 

The ThinkCore V481, which is based on the Intel x86 processor, is a ready-to-run embedded computer with VGA, dual LANs, 8 serial ports, CompactFlash, USB, and audio. The VGA interface was included to make this computer particularly well-suited for industrial applications, such as SCADA and factory automation.

The ThinkCore V481 comes with 8 software-selectable RS-232/422/485 serial ports built in, making it ideal for connecting a wide range of serial devices. The 10/100 Mbps and 10/100/1000 Mbps LAN ports offer a reliable solution for network redundancy, promising continuous operation for data communication and management. In addition, the second CompactFlash socket makes storage expansion easier, and the USB slots can be used to connect different types of devices, making the ThinkCore V481 a reliable embedded computer for industrial applications that require VGA and HMI features.

The ThinkCore V481 comes with the WinCE 5.0 or Windows XP Embedded operating system pre-installed, providing a friendly environment for programmers to develop sophisticated application software. The great software support that Moxa provides makes the programmer's job easier, and makes it possible to develop bug-free code quickly and at a lower cost. In addition, the wide operating temperature model, which works in temperatures ranging from -35 to 75°C, provides users with a great solution for any harsh environment.
