Introduction

The UC-8410A Series embedded computers support a rich collection

of communication interfaces, including 8 RS-232/422/485 serial ports,

3 Ethernet ports, 1 PCIe mini slot for a wireless module, 4 digital input

channels, 4 digital output channels, 1 mSATA slot, and 2 USB 2.0

hosts.

The UC-8410A computer uses the NXP Cortex-A7 dual-core 1 GHz

CPU. This powerful computing engine supports several useful

communications functions, without generating too much heat.

The built-in 4 GB eMMC and 1 GB DDR3 SDRAM give you enough

memory to run your application software, and the SD slot and mSATA

socket provides the flexibility of adding additional data storage. 

The UC-8410A comes with a variety of communication interaces,

including serial ports, Ethernet ports, wireless communication slot, and

digital input/output channels, making them ideal as communication

platforms for industrial applications that require network and device

communications.

The UC-8410A Series comes with Linux Debian 8 preinstalled to

provide an open software operating system for software program

development. This makes the UC-8410A computer an optimal solution

for use with industrial applications, but at minimal cost and effort. In

addition to the standard model, a -40 to 75°C wide-temperature model

is also available for harsh industrial environments.
