Diamond Systems’ Hercules II is a high performance, EBX form factor (203 x 146 mm) single board computer integrating a Pentium III-level CPU with Diamond Systems’ high accuracy data acquisition circuitry and a DC-DC power supply on a single board.
Hercules II is built around an 800 MHz low power VIA Mark CPU and 512 MB RAM with a broad set of system I/O, including Ethernet, four RS232 ports (two with RS422/485 capability), four USB 1.1 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, dual IDE controllers, PS/2 keyboard/mouse, an advanced 2D/3D video controller supporting both CRT and LVDS flat panel displays and AC'97 sound with amplified speaker output.
Extremely rugged, Hercules II features soldered DRAM, optional hardwired jumpers for increased resistance to shock and vibration and an operating temperature range of -40 to +85°C without a fan.
The Hercules II data acquisition section has 32 16-bit analog inputs with a 250 kHz sample rate, backed by a 2 K-sample FIFO along with four 12-bit D/A channels. Auto-calibration on both A/D and D/A ensures maximum accuracy over time and temperature. The SBC provides 40 digital I/O lines with programmable direction, as well as two counter/timers for A/D sample rate control, pulse counting, frequency generation, or other applications.
The 5-28V DC/DC power supply enables Hercules II to be used in a wide range of applications without requiring a separate add-on power module.
