Introduction
The PCA-6178 Series all-in-one industrial grade CPU card uses Intel's highly acclaimed Pentium® III/ Celeron ™ processor, together with the Intel 440BX PCI chipset. The card works with standard ISA or PCI/ISA-bus passive backplanes.

The CPU provides 256 KB/128 KB on-CPU L2 cache, eliminating the need for external SRAM chips. It has two PCI EIDE interfaces (for up to four devices) and a floppy disk drive interface (for up to two devices). Other features include two RS-232 serial ports (16C550 UARTs with 16-byte FIFO or compatible), one enhanced parallel port (supports EPP/ECP) and two USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports. The PCI enhanced IDE controller supports Ultra DMA/33 and PIO Mode 4 operation. This provides data transfer rates of over 33 MB/sec. System BIOS supports boot-up from an IDE CD-ROM, SCSI CD-ROM, LS-120, FDD, IDE HDD, SCSI CD-ROM, and ZIP-100.

A backup of CMOS data is stored in the Flash memory, which protects data even after a battery failure. Also included is a 63-level watchdog timer, which resets the CPU or generates an interrupt if a program cannot be executed normally. This enables reliable operation in unattended environments.

The PCA-6178 Series offers several impressive industrial features such
as a VGA (AGP) controller, a PCI Ultra2 SCSI controller, a 10/100Base-T networking controller, three DIMM slots for a total of 768 MB RAM memory, and an ISA High Drive. In addition, the PCA-6178 Series supports a solid state disk (SSD) using M-Systems Corporation's DiskOnChip® 2000 Flash disk, for up to 144 MB of non-volatile, reliable memory that is not vulnerable to the hazards of an industrial computing environment. All these make it an ideal choice for applications that require both high performance and full functionality.

Features:

  • CMOS automatic backup and restore to prevent accidental data loss of BIOS setup data
  • Intel® 440BX chipset 66/100 FSB
  • Onboard high performance AGP 2X VGA with 8 MB SDRAM
  • Socket 370 Pentium® III/Celeron® up to 1.0 GHz/1.1 GHz
  • Supports 10/100Base-T Ethernet
