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-High/Pull-Low resistors,
dual CAN ports, dual LANs, 4 digital input channels, 4 digital output
channels, USB, and a SD socket in a compact, front-end access
housing.
To fulfill various industrial applications, the UC-5100 Series computing
platform provides models with dual CANopen protocol supported CAN
ports and mini PCIe socket for wireless connection featuring a dual
SIM design for network redundancy
The UC-5100’s vertical DIN-rail form factor makes it easy to install
the computers 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 for
users to enjoy its superior long term support operating system as well
as the optimized software features.
