Embedded CPU handles mission-critical control

Nexcom has expanded its range of high-performance embedded CPU boards with the introduction of the new EBC 573. Based on Intel's Pentium M/Celeron M processor with 400MHz FSB this rugged board has been specifically designed for applications that require low power consumption, extreme reliability and versatile I/O configuration. As such the EBC 573 offers cost-effective solutions to a multitude of mission-critical embedded computing applications within elevator control, digital video transport systems, kiosks, POS systems, automation control, industrial control, access control, smart instrumentation, network security and many more.

Measuring 260 x 180mm, the EBC 573 gives users a wide variety of connection options with two 10/100 Ethernet LAN ports, six USB 2.0 ports, VGA, TV-out interface and direct LVDS output via a DB44 connector.

For added flexibility, the versatile board also boasts three RS232 ports, one RS232/422/485 port and one PCI expansion slot.

Other features include a built-in CompactFlash, a 200/266 memory up to 2Gbyte and a wide-ranging power supplies from 12 to 30V DC.

In order to give users even further versatility when addressing applications within automation, machine control, POS systems and transportation the EBC 573 board is the basis for Nexcom's compact and totally fan less NICE 3100 embedded system.
