Deurne, The Netherlands (PRWEB) April 20, 2005 -- Snijder Micro Systems today
announced the public release of the new SmartControl® product line, a family of
rugged, network-enabled HMI computers with colour LCD and touch screen
integrating a wide range of I/O and interfacing possibilities and featuring full
support for the Java™ programming language.
The SmartControl SC-210/211
are all-in-one single-board computers featuring a 5.7" LCD QVGA display with
integrated touch screen, built-in Ethernet controller, up to six serial ports
(RS232/RS485), analog and digital I/O, and a wide range of additional
interfacing options. The system is based on a high performance 32-bit ARM
processor with up to 64 MB of SDRAM and up to 256 MB of flash for solid state
storage of application code and data. Additional onboard peripherals include a
watchdog, temperature sensor, real time clock with battery backup, programmable
slave microcontroller, unique factory-programmed 64-bit ID, digital contrast and
backlight control, buzzer, etc. Different enclosure options are
available.
The SmartControl SC-21x firmware integrates a industry-leading
real-time kernel and Sun-certified Java Virtual Machine which translates all
bytecode to native code at runtime, before execution, achieving unrivalled
performance and minimal footprint. The system can be programmed completely in
Java, including full support for the AWT (Abstract Windowing Toolkit) graphic
libraries, without the need for any proprietary or non-standard development
tools. Programming in assembler and C/C++ is also possible.
The extended
temperature range, low power consumption (less than 1000 mA including the
display and backlight), and rugged nature of the SmartControl units make them
ideal for a wide range of applications, including industrial process control and
automation, automotive/transportation, medical equipment, domotics, points of
sale, survey terminals, etc. The system opens up endless possibilities combining
the local user interface based on the built-in LCD display and touch screen, and
a Ethernet-based interface for remote control and maintenance. The support for
Java makes it possible to reduce development costs and shorten development
cycles and time to market.
