ePCII Embedded PC Technology as Industrial PC or Data Logger

Released on: August 5, 2008, 1:44 am

Press Release Author: BMC Messsysteme GmbH (bmcm)

Industry: Industrial

Press Release Summary: Maisach/Munich/Germany. With the ePCII series, BMC
Messsysteme GmbH (bmcm), manufacturer for data acquisition and PC technology,
introduces the second generation of embedded PC technology based on highly
integrated and powerful ETX technology.

Press Release Body: It\'s like in a movie: A second version to be successful must
feature something new and better without loosing sight of its basic characteristics.
BMC Messsysteme GmbH (bmcm) has put great emphasis on this aspect when developing
the next generation ePCII as industrial PC or data logger.
With the integration of an LX800 CPU in ETX standard (Embedded Technology eXtended)
the processor performance of the new devices has been doubled (500MHz). At the same
time the wattage is constantly low (app. 10W).
Besides that, the extremely compact design could be kept: the robust aluminum
housing with 110mm in width and height and 210mm length can easily be placed in
tight space.

Also new is the extended temperature range from -25°C to +85°C (-13°F to 158°F), an
important aspect frequently disregarded by other manufacturers and often causing
problems. Especially in industrial environment and vehicle tests extreme
temperatures can be reached fast. If even those are exceeded, a continuous
temperature control protects the devices by shutting them down.

The ePCII systems are available as industrial PC ePCII-QUAD (-->
http://www.bmcm.de/us/pr-epcii.html ), a modularly structured, compact embedded PC,
or as a data logger ePCII-LOG (--> http://www.bmcm.de/us/pr-epcii-log.html ) for
applications in data acquisition. The possibility to transmit data via CAN makes
them especially interesting to the automotive sector. The CAN interface (4x CAN) is
already integrated in the ePCII-LOG, the ePCII-QUAD can be equipped with a relevant
PC/104 interface card.

Using CompactFlash cards as data carrier with high memory depth (max. 2GB) is a
clear advantage. With this replaceable storage medium a consistent configuration and
measuring data can easily be copied to other systems.

The devices feature many interfaces (z. B. VGA, USB, PS2, LAN, RS232) to provide for
a wide range of applications.
A galvanically isolated power supply unit guarantees high interference resistance
and reliability.

The data logger ePCII-LOG is additionally equipped with a 16-bit PC/104 data
acquisition card so that the recorded signals of the 16 analog inputs and the CAN
data are processed synchronously in time. The sampling rate of 1kHz per channel
makes it to a very fast device in its category.
In addition, with 2 analog outputs and 32 digital channels the ePCII-LOG is
particularly suitable for control tasks.
Programming of the data logger is done via the integrated operating software.

The integrated components, such as the intelligent LCD display and the carrier
board, are available as single parts. Besides that, bmcm offers various PC
accessories and PC/104 cards to individually equip the ePCII devices.


PC technology and industrial data acquisition at an excellent price-performance
ratio: BMC Messsysteme GmbH has long made this its motto and impressively proves
this with the ePCII series. For further information, visit www.bmcm.de
