Advantech Offers New, High Performance PICMG1.0 Solutions

EINDHOVEN, Netherlands - May 2, 2014 - PRLog -- Advantech launches PCA-6028, the latest high performance PICMG 1.0 SBC. It is based on the 4th generation Intel^® Core™ processor with the Intel H81 chipset, dual channel DDR3 memory up to 16 GB, two USB 3.0 ports, and two SATA 3.0 connectors. PCA-6028 is compatible with all PCI/ISA backplanes and offers a more flexible choice of expansion slots. PCA-6028 is also characterized by its rich I/O support. PICMG1.0 gives the system a longer product life cycle and high-performance computing capabilities that can be employed across a broader range of applications and solutions, such as manufacturing automation, transportation, and factory automation.

Solid, Reliableand Power Efficient Design
PCA-6028 is equipped with ferrite core chokes that gives the system a 25% boost in power efficiency compared to systems with non-ferrite core chokes. Additionally, in terms of material and reliability, its BR-level battery which is designed for industrial use possesses a stronger socket than CP-level batteries. PCA-6028 has an internal type A USB 2.0 port for an internal dongle or hardware key lock. The USB pin header is designed to support super speeds. PCA-6028 ranks higher in comparison to other products in its class.

Convenient Upgrade Path
Many customer using PCA-6010/6011 systems will be happy to know that PCA-6028 serves as a natural successor to their existing systems. PCA-6028 offers higher overall performance of CPU, I/O and has a longer product life (until 2020). Its mechanical design includes a stronger board that supports metal brackets with bending rates of less than 0.75%. This substantially extends product durability and reliability. PCA-6028 is an I/O-oriented platform suitable for applications that require high performance, increased power efficiency, and a longer lifespan; it is an ideal system in transportation, manufacturing automation, factory automation, or other areas where advanced industrial computing solutions are needed.
