新的自动化控制器专为太阳能电池板和交通管理行业的设备制造商而设计，将嵌入式计算机和插件数据采集（DAQ）卡结合在一个小型低调的单元中。无风扇的ECU-1710A自动化控制器Advantechintegrates Advantech’s PCI-1710UL and PCI1720U DAQ cards onto a motherboard with a 16-channel analog inputs, 4-channel analog outputs along with 16-channel isolated digital inputs and 16-channel isolated digital outputs.
Advantech表示，它可以用Intel Atom D510双核处理器为ECU-1710A控制器提供动力，该处理器具有1GB DDR2 RAM，因此它可以处理计算交通流量以及太阳能电池制造所需的精细测量所需的复杂过程。控制器具有六个通信接口：两个10/100MB以太网，两个RS-232串行和两个USB 2.0端口。
Another key aspect of the controller is its programmable software. According to Advantech, customers can develop their own applications and monitoring solutions through the use of DAQNavi, a free software package that can bedownloaded from Advantech’s Website. DAQNavi includes all utilities, driver, software development kit, and documents necessary for hardware configuration, testing, and programming.
