PLCs, DCSs & Controllers
Advantech's PCI-6871 is a half-sized CPU card with onboard VIA Eden400 C3 EBGA fanless CPU. The VIA Eden processor uses advanced 0,13 µ CMOS technology with 128 KB L1 cache memory and 64 KB L2 cache memory on die. This board with Eden400 CPU can operate without a fan at temperatures up to 60°C and typically consumes under 14 W while supporting numerous peripherals.
This SBC includes a 4X AGP controller, a PCI Ethernet interface, and 36-bit TTL interface. Its design is based on the half-sized CPU card and supports PCI bus expansion. Other on-board features include an FDD, LPT, four USBs, and two serial ports. PCI-6871 supports AC97 audio with the addition of the optional PCM-231A-00A1 audio module. This product uses a VIA VT8606 'TwisterT' chip with Integrated Savage4 2D/3D/Video Accelerator and supports 4X AGP VGA/LCD interface and up to 32 MB frame buffer using system memory. The PCI-6871 supports one 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connection with an onboard RJ-45 connector, and is effective for use as a firewall, VPN, or gateway device.
