Introduction

Advantech FMS-3250 is a powerful PC-compliant solution in environmental, facility monitoring applications for data acquisition, analysis and control. Its powerful capability in computing, communication, I/O, peripheral extension, software support and storage choices makes it an ideal solution to fulfill your needs for different applications.

Dual-port 10/100Base-T Ethernet Interface for High Speed Networking

FMS-3250 has two Ethernet ports. You can use one port for connecting upward network and the other for fast Ethernet interface I/O system with speed and security concerns. It is also able to act as redundancy solution in networking.

Four RS-232/485 Interface for Flexible Device Connection

FMS-3250 has four RS-232/485 ports allow you to connect rich RS-232/485 devices and I/O modules. FMS-3250 has two RS-232 ports and two RS-485 ports. RS-485 ports features 2500VDC isolation and 2000VDC surge protection. In RS-485 interface, each port utilizes a 16C550 UART with an on-chip 128-byte FIFO buffer for reliable and high speed serial I/O. It also features automatic data flow control that each port automatically senses the direction of incoming data and switches its transmission direction accordingly. This feature lets you simply and quickly build an RS-485 network with just two wires.

 

Complete I/O solutions ¡V Advantech ADAM series

Advantech provides complete distributed I/O solutions in two major categories: RS-485 I/O solution (ADAM-4000, ADAM-5000/485) and Ethernet I/O solution (ADAM-5000/TCP) ranged from analog I/O, digital I/O, relay output, thermocouple, RTD to counter module. In RS-485 I/O solution, Advantech offers complete ASCII commands to control I/O modules for any OS. In Ethernet I/O solution, Advantech offers you Modbus/TCP driver in Windows 95/98/NT/2000/CE and Linux OS.

Multiple Data Storage Choices

FMS-3250 has two Type I/II CompactFlash card slots and one 2.5¡¨ HDD space reserved for large volume data storage. Each device can be Master or Slave device by jumper setting, and you can enable two of these three devices on the same time.

Embedded OS Ready for Embedded Application

FMS-3250 is a fully x86-compatible, Pentium-300 grade platform that offers Windows CE 3.0 and Real-time Linux ready solution to fulfill your needs in embedded applications. In addition, FMS-3250 also offers 2.5¡¨ HDD installation capability for you to setup most popular OS, such as Windows 95/95/NT and 2000.

Great Peripherals Extension Capability via USB and IrDA

There are one IrDA, two USB ports in FMS-3250 for you to connect versatile USB interface peripherals and to communicate with mobile devices through IrDA.

Powerful Out-of-Box solution platform with Reliable Design

FMS-3250 is a reputed industrial hardware with Pentium grade processor that features several reliable designs:

Automatic power failure detection: Advantech FMS-3250 has one digital input channel to connect the power signal from UPS. When the power is failure, the power failure LED indicator shows the status, and the event occurs to trigger your software to do emergency handling.

In-chassis Temperatures Diagnosis: Advantech FMS-3250 builds in a digital temperature sensor inside the chassis. It allows you to set the proper temperature range. When the temperature inside the chassis is out of the setting, the event occurs to do emergency handling. This function is very useful in tough environment with large temperature change.

Fanless design: FMS-3250 is a fanless solution. To dissipate heat efficiently without fan, FMS-3250 has sophisticated design in its Aluminum chassis.

Industrial-grade Power Input: FMS-3250 accepts wide voltage input power from 10 VDC to 30VDC
