Description
The PC-510 Mobile Industrial Computer™ (MIC) is a high performance,
single board PC in Octagon’s semi-custom product line. The PC-510
integrates serial communication, industrial digital I/O, a floppy and a
hard disk port, a multifunctional parallel port, and a local bus video
which supports monitors and flat panels. It has an interrupt routing
matrix, two solid-state disks, and a PC/104 interface. The PC-510 can
have up to 16 MB of on-board DRAM. This board is supplied with DOS
6.22 in ROM but will also execute other operating systems such as
Windows™, Windows NT™, and QNX
®
. Since the PC-510 uses the
same functional blocks as the Micro PC™, the circuitry has been fully
proven as reliable and the software is compatible with the software in
the Micro PC series.
Specified to your engineering needs, the PC-510 can be ordered as a
semi-custom board in OEM quantities. The stocked version of the
PC-510 is listed below with the standard and optional features. The
standard version can be used for system development and an optional
version of the PC-510 is usually application specific.

PC-510 major hardware features
CPU
The high performance 586 CPU comes in two versions. One version is a
120MHz586 and the other is a 133MHz586. Both versions operate at
3.3V for low power consumption. The PC-510 has a local bus speed of
33 MHz and an ISA bus speed of 8.33 MHz.
Up to 48 MB DRAM
The standard unit is supplied with 1 MB of fast, EDO surface mount
DRAM. The use of EDO DRAM increases performance by 20% which, in
most cases, eliminates the need for an expensive L2 cache. The PC-510
can contain up to 16 MB of on-board DRAM. Up to 32 MB of additional
DRAM can be added through an optional DIMM module, which makes a
total of 48 MB DRAM. Two holes are on-board the PC-510 to secure the
DIMM module in high vibration environments. All surface mount
DRAM and DIMM modules from Octagon meet the full PC-510 tem-
perature range. Customers who need a 0° to 70°C range can install
commercially available DIMM modules onto the PC-510.
