Advantech is offering its UNO-3062, a Pentium III grade, front-access fanless PC, which comes with two PCI extensions. The UNO-3062 features a rugged and field-proven design offering dual power inputs and battery backup SRAM. Different from general industrial PCs, the UNO-3062 is more compact and reliable. The UNO-3062 is an open platform that is suitable for demanding industrial field conditions, suitable for industrial automation and control.
All connections of the UNO-3062 are located on the front panel. This makes wiring and maintenance significantly simpler. The computer measures a compact 140 x 177 x 237 mm (W x H x D) - which means installation in a control cabinet is easy. Its two PCI slots may be used for any PCI form-factor card. Advantech has a large selection of PC-based automation products available in PCI form-factor, including cards for: data acquisition and I/O control, motion control, GPIB, and industrial communication.
Designed without cooling fans, the UNO-3062's aluminium chassis acts as a heatsink to dissipate internal heat. Hard disk-free, it offers excellent anti-shock (50 G) and anti-vibration (2 gRMS w/CompactFlash) properties. The operating temperature can also reach as high as 50°C. With these rugged features, the UNO-3062 is built to operate in harsh environments.
512 KB of battery backed SRAM provides a safe place to store critical data. Dual individual power inputs are supported (16 to 36 V d.c.), and it will switch to another power input if one fails, thus reducing the opportunity of a system crash due to power failure.

Editor's Choice PLCs, DCSs & Controllers
Many process engineers do not appreciate the importance of flow loops in their unit controls. A senior process engineer once told me that flow loops need not be tuned well, as they generally have little effect on the more important and much slower loops like temperatures and pressures.

PLCs, DCSs & Controllers
Data acquisition, data logging and data analysis are required functions for most modern industrial control systems. The simplest and lowest cost way to provide these functions is often by using the same platform that’s providing real-time control, namely the PLC or the programmable automation controller.
