ESA Technology PC104 Options

PC104 EXPANSION

I/O Expansion Options Available for the 2000 Family

Eason Technology’s 2000 Family products can be enhanced with additional I/O capabilities by using PC104 expansion cards. PC104 cards allow the 2000 Family perform machine control applications normally relegated to a PLC. By using PC104 expansion you purchase only the I/O that you need, thereby customizing your unit to the application.
PC-104 offers full hardware and software compatibility with the standard desktop PC (and PC/AT) architecture, but in an ultra-compact, self-stacking, modular format. Basically PC-104 standardizes a way to repackage desktop PC functions in order to satisfy the ruggedness, reliability, and size constraints of embedded systems. Consequently, PC-104 provides an attractive PC-compatible alternative to embedded microcontrollers.	PC-104 is endorsed by over 140 vendors, has a compact size (3.6”x3.8”), self-stacking bus, reduced power consumption, and offers the ability to select only those function modules required by the application. ESA Tech takes this capability one step further by adding rugged, real-world I/O connectors on the rear panel that are magnetically isolated from noise and voltage transients.
