The Industrial Automation Group
of Advantech proudly introduces the most complete line of PCI-104 modules in the Automation industry, covering both Data
Acquisition and Serial Communication applications. These PCI-104
cards are intended for specialized embedded computing environments
where applications depend on reliable data acquisition despite
an often extreme environment, and support multiple operating
systems, such as Windows 2000 and XP, allowing them to be easily
integrated into machine automation, field automation, environment
surveillance, or traffic signal applications. Additionally,
Advantech provides ActiveDAQ Pro software, featuring a user-friendly
graphic user interface, which allows users to develop programs
for existing embedded automation computers much more easily. |
