1.1 Introduction
The AEC-6940 BOXER 2 Advanced Embedded Control system
continues the BOXER design concept but focuses on the fast
expanding Machine Automation market. The AEC-6940 can
provide two PCI-Express slots for expansion. Therefore
AEC-6940’s expandable function, compact size combined with
fanless design and highly efficient heat conduction mechanism
can fulfill any rugged technical application in industrial automation,
factory control, test instrumentation and safety surveillance.
Outstanding Over-spec Design
Intel’s
®
Core
TM
2 Duo processor with fanless design and high
performance is widely acceptable and dependable in this market.
USB 2.0, dual GbE Ethernet and 4 serial ports allow
communication with diverse devices with a high transfer rate.
Furthermore, the AEC-6940 can concurrently support three tiers
of expansion interfaces – PCI-Express, Mini-card and Express
Card. These interfaces are fully integrated within the BOXER
series and allow an upgrade to their usefulness. It is a
leading-edge thermal and vibration design (up to 55 degree
operation and 5G RMS vibration) and also an innovation for
Machine Automation in the IPC industry. AEC-6940 plays a role
in connecting all subsystems in common applications. AAEON
