*2, 3  When building a Windows XP or Windows 2000 SP3/SP4 environment on CPUSB20/xx (FIT)GY, you can install the operating system without using DTKSB20(FIT)GY by using a third-party USB CD-ROM and FD drive. You can also install other operating systems if the USB CD-ROM drive is supported with the startup disk.

Windows® XP Embedded pre-installed model
[CPU-SB21/256(FIT)GY], [CPU-SB22/256(FIT)]
Windows® XP Embedded (CONTEC Custom specifications *4) based on CPU-SB20/256(FIT)GY pre-installed. A disk-less Windows-based system can then be easily configured.
< DTK-SB20(FIT)GY [Micro Controller Unit Development Kit] not required
  Since the operating system is pre-installed, you eliminate the trouble and expense of having to use the Development Kit to install the OS and drivers.
< Enhanced Write Filter function installed. Secure design allows Power Off at any time
  Writing control via the Enhanced Write Filter ("EWF") and support of No Page File eliminates the need for shutdown processing when turning the power OFF. The result is a stable system that eliminates concern for file system damage.
< Win32 API and Windows XP applications fully supported.
  Like Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Embedded is a binary configured OS, and fully supports Win32 API. Windows XP-supported application resources can be fully accessed by using a program such as VisualStudio for development.
*4  Windows XP Embedded Custom configuration (For details on individual application customization, contact your local CONTEC office.)

Application Example 1  In confined areas with limited power
  The unit can fit into spaces too small for standard PCs.
In addition, using CONTEC's wireless LAN Micro Access Point allows you to embed this unit in mobile hardware or areas where wiring would be difficult.
Since the micro controller runs on 5VDC it is ideal for areas with limited power.

Application Example 2  As a compact controller for I/O control systems
  Through the use of the Device Module, these can be used as compact controllers supporting a variety of I/O or as a programmable ethernet-based remote I/O system.
 

Application Example 3  Web monitoring system terminal
  The micro-controller can serve as a compact web monitoring terminal (client PC) for Servers using a web server function.
 

Compact Space-saving Design
The functionality and expandability of a standard PC are all contained in a compact 94 mm (H) x 64.7 mm (D) module. This micro controller can be run on a variety of standard operating systems.
One-touch operation for easy installation and removal

Easily Maintained / Industrially Sound
This disk-free, fanless micro computer can be mounted on a 35mm DIN rail.
It features a watchdog timer - essential for monitoring the health of industrial systems. All connections (excluding F&eIT bus) are located on the front side of the unit for ease of use.

Outstanding Functions
  • The compact flash (or micro drive) is bootable and recognized as the C drive allowing standard computer operating systems and programming languages to be supported.
  • I/O interfaces are expanded by connecting one of a wide range of device modules. Its unique interconnection mechanism allows device modules to be 'stacked' side-by-side so that additional interface components, such as backplanes, are not needed.
  • 2 USB ports can be used for external CD-ROM, FDD, HDD, keyboard or other USB supported device.
