PC104 CPU module targets medical, traffic control and test equipment solutions

17 November 2004 Computer/Embedded Technology

Advantech has released a new STPC Atlas processor-based PC104 CPU board, the PCM-3341, which integrates a standard x86 core with graphics video chipset, and support for 18-bit TFT LCD panel and CRT, it also provides multi-I/O functions like four COMs, two USB, LAN, and GPIO.

According to the company, effective computing performance, low power consumption, wide range operating temperature, high vibration, and shock resistance make the PCM-3341 ideally suited for rugged environments, where space consideration and high reliability are paramount. The PCM-3341, along with the company's PCM-3347 and PCM-3348 all use the STPC 586-level CPU processor.

Some applications include:

Medical diagnosis and treatment: Designed at the heart of a sophisticated diagnostic and analysis system, the PC104 CPU module is used to analyse, monitor, and control patients' health status, delivering the necessary data to the central controller to be used by clinicians. Multiple I/O COM ports, USB and GPIO satisfy the demand for expanding and integrating with other systems that provide additional specialist functions.

Traffic control: Automatic in-vehicle information, GPS positioning and traffic control systems, can integrate a PC104 solution to display realtime information. The PC104 CPU modules' flexible I/O interfaces are ideal for data transmission, and support multiple displays. Entry-level PC104 modules are cost effective and reliable enough to fit the need for transport-related applications.

Test equipment: Data acquisition is the main function for applications, such as oil well monitoring, gas exploration, land mine detection, and seismic recording. PC104 based devices are an ideal choice for rugged board-level solutions.
