1U Serial Communication Relay for SCADA and Electrostatic Discharge Environments
Lanner Electronics, Inc. has just released a 1U serial communications platform designed for electrostatic discharge environments and SCADA systems. It features a completely cable-less interior and 10 isolated serial ports, 8 of which feature onboard auto-flow control. The QORE LEC-3100 is the center piece in Lanner’s array of industrial automation and power control products.
Our The QORE series is to serve as a serial communications platform for electrostatic environments and SCADA systems. This 1U appliance has 10 isolated serial/ COM ports, which protect the appliance from electrostatic damage due to sudden power surges. 8 of the 10 COM ports on the LEC-3100 are screw-based phoenix head contacts, providing protection against accidental removal. These 8 COM ports also feature hardware auto-flow control, allowing engineers to set the RS-232/422/485 protocols with a flick of a switch, all without entering the BIOS. The other 2 COM ports feature DB9 heads.
Other notable features include cable-less and fan-less design for product longevity. There is a high temperature range from -20o to 50o Celsius with industrial components (HD, RAM and CF card). And also front facing LEDs for easy maintenance.
The LEC-3100 utilizes the low power consuming Intel Atom N270 with the Intel 945GSE+ICH7M chipset. If has 1 Sodimm slot with a maximum capacity of 2GBs. It also features a CompactFlash Socket and a 2.5” SATA HDD tray with DOM support.
In addition to the 10 isolated COM ports, other I/O include 5 GbE LAN ports, 4 x USB 2.0 ports, DIDO port and a DVI-D video out. The GbE LAN ports utilize 4 Intel 82574L and 1 Intel 82562GZ controller. The DVI-D has a maximum resolution of 1600 x 1200.
