Introduction
The UC-5100 Series embedded computers are designed for industrial automation applications. The computers feature 4 RS-232/422/485 full signal serial ports with adjustable pull-up/pull-down resistors, 2 CAN ports, 2 Ethernet ports, 4 digital input channels, 4 digital output channels, USB interface, and an SD slot in a compact, front-end access housing. To fulfill various industrial applications, the UC-5100 Series computing platform provides models with 2 CAN ports and a mini PCIe slot for wireless connections featuring a dual-SIM design for network redundancy. The UC-5100’s vertical DIN-rail form factor makes it easy to install the computer in a small cabinet. This space-saving solution also facilitates easy wiring, making the UC-5100 a great choice as front-end embedded controllers for industrial applications. Furthermore, all models are equipped with Moxa Industrial Linux that comes with 10-year long-term support as well as optimized software features.
