General Description:

Eurotech presentation on DuraCOR™ Central Units

The Eurotech DuraCOR™ 1210 is a rugged high reliability computer central unit platform targeting system integration projects requiring versatile PC/104 expansion or custom hardware integration in demanding mechanical and environmental installations.

The DuraCOR™ 1210/1310 is based on an open PC-architecture core compatible with Linux, Windows CE and Windows XPe operating systems, shortening time-to-market and development costs.

DuraCOR™ 1210/1310 is a system platform that supports expansion using standard modular PC/104 ISA or PC/104+ PCI modules. Analogue/digital I/O, isolated high voltage I/O, DSP signal processor modules, custom peripheral expansion boards, Fieldbus, MIL-STD-1553 or ARINC429 boards can be added to complete your system with required peripheral connectivity.

Internal basic elements include the CPU, a 10/100Mbit Ethernet and WiFi as well as isolated digital I/O. Serial ports can connect to PLC controllers, data acquisition devices, sensors and other subsystems or to external communication terminals. Other peripheral devices can connectto the DuraCOR 1210/1310 using two USB1.1 ports.

Mass storage is implemented using a solid-state 512MB Disk-on-Module. for the operating system and user application. A 2,5" "Media Slot" accepts a 2,5" flash or rotating automotive HDD. Optionally a CF-card can be installed into the media slot using an adaptor that mounts in place of a HDD.

All Eurotech systems feature a unique "system monitor" that increases system operating reliability and safety. Internal operations are controlled by the intelligent system monitor. Temperature and supply voltage monitoring combined with system device management is autonomously handled by the "system monitor" microprocessor and the host PC can access temperature, voltage and status log data. An I2C-bus port is available for external access to the internal monitor bus. Through this I2C-port diagnostics and service tasks can be easily performed, even though the system is powered off.

The DuraCOR™ 1210 is designed to meet the requirements of EN50155 with a wide operating temperature range (-25°C/+70°C) and resistance to humidity as well as shocks and vibrations. The final system with specific I/O expansion can be certified by the system integrator to either CE, EN or MIL standards. Eurotech can provide architectural design services and support on system construction and design.

To improve the mechanical durability, locking circular vehicle grade watertight connectors are used. The WLAN antenna uses a locking R-SMA connector to increase reliability. The back side panel of the system is dedicated for device I/O, service and utility I/O are located under a protective sealed cover. Maintainance interfaces include: I2C-bus, VGA output, keyboard and mouse. No fixed system peripheral device connectors need to be removed to access the utility I/Os.
