ARM-based Programmable Gateways

July 6, 2010
The EKI-1121L and 1122L ARM-based industrial communication controllers feature a pre-installed embedded Linux operating system for user-developed communications, monitoring and control applications. 
These devices are based on an ARM7 SoC (System on Chip), featuring dual 10/100Mbps Ethernet ports, and one or two serial ports, which are software configurable for RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485. The inherent networking capabilities of Linux make these devices well-suited for protocol conversion and store-and-forward data collection gateways, says the vendor. The standard configuration includes 16MB of SDRAM, 8MB of flash, and uClinux (an embedded Linux distribution) pre-installed. Maximum power consumption is only 2.5W. They are UL Class 1, Division 2 (groups A, B, C, and D)-approved, and are included with a dedicated RS-232 console port for direct access and debugging.Advantech Corp.
