Precise timekeeping computer

20 March 2013 Computer/Embedded Technology

Moxa has unveiled the DA-683, a new x86-based embedded computer that excels in power automation and power substation applications thanks to IEC 61850-3, IEEE 1613 and IEEE 1588 support.

The system features an Intel dual-core Atom CPU running at 1,66 GHz, in a fanless design that improves reliability. In typical conditions, the system consumes only 40 Watts of power under full load (with two modules inserted).

The IEEE 1588 precision time protocol gives automation systems highly precise time accuracy for event logging. The DA-683 provides IEEE 1588 v2 functionality via 2 Gigabit LAN ports, and is IEC 61850-3 certified to guarantee system stability and reliability when used in power applications.

The DA-683 includes two independent module slots to give users flexibility in system integration and expansion. The computer can be customised by adding communication modules, such as an 8-port RS-232/422/485 module, 8-port RS-422/485 module, 4-port 10/100 Mbps LAN module, 8-port 10/100 Mbps switch module or a universal PCI expansion module.

All of Moxa’s embedded computers come with the operating system pre-installed. In addition, BIOS, middleware, sample code and development tools are provided to give programmers a user-friendly environment for application development and minimise system integration workload.
