The Industrial Automation Group of 548 Advantech has introduced the UNO-3282, a new high-performance embedded automation computer with fan-less, diskless and cable-less design. The unit comes with a Core 2 Duo CPU, and PCI/PCI Express slots. Moreover, a user-replaceable kit is included which can replace the PCI Express/PCI slot combination with two standard PCI slots. Advantech claims this combination of versatile functionality allows the UNO-3282 to handle a wide variety of applications in wide-ranging sectors like ITS, machine, production and factory automation.

With two Gigabit LAN ports, four serial ports, four USB, VGA, DVI-D, PCI Express, and a PCI slot, the UNO-3282 can easily connect multiple peripheral devices without extra wiring while extending I/O, vision and audio functions for different field requests. The unit also features a 1.5GHz Core 2 Duo CPU with 1GB DDRII RAM.

Advantech says that because of its strong driver support, customers can easily develop applications on Windows 2000/XP/Vista, Linux or Embedded OS such as Windows XP Embedded and Embedded Linux and install them on internal CF or 2.5in hard drive.
