DA-661/662/663 Hardware User’s Manual
Introduction
Overview
The DA-661/662/663 are RISC-based, ready-to-run embedded computers designed for industrial
data acquisition applications. Each model has 16 RS-232/422/485 serial ports, 1 CF socket, 1
PCMCIA socket, and 2 USB hosts based on the Intel XScale IXP425 communication processor. In
addition, the DA-661 has two Ethernet ports, the DA-662 has 4 Ethernet ports, and the DA-663
has 2 fiber Ethernet channels. The casing is a standard 1U, 19-inch wide rack-mounted rugged
enclosure. The robust, rack-mountable mechanism design provides the hardened protection needed
for industrial environment applications, and makes it easy for users to install the DA-661/662/663
on a standard 19-inch rack. The DA-661/662/663 are ideal for applications that require a
distributed embedded technology, such as SCADA systems, plant floor automation, and power
electricity monitoring applications.
The DA-661/662/663 are suitable for IT control room applications, the critical assets used in the
control and automation system of industrial plant floors, and in electric power utility substations.
The DA-661/662/663 can accept a wide range of power inputs (from 100 to 240V), which means
that they can be connected to AC power lines. Because of the no hard disk, fan-less, energy
efficient design, the DA-661/662/663 minimize heat generation, can operate around the clock, year
in and year out, in heavy duty, harsh industrial environments, delivering the kind of reliable
computing power expected of a multifunctional controller.
Choose from models of the DA-661/662/663 that come pre-installed with the open-standard Linux
OS, or the commonly used WinCE OS. The built-in SDK makes program development easy by
allowing you to follow the common programming procedures used on a standard PC. All of the
software you develop for your own applications can be stored in the onboard Flash memory. The
DA-661/662/663 embedded computers are ideal for creating control systems with distributed
architecture that are based on embedded technologies. Typical applications include SCADA
systems, plant floor automation, and power electricity monitoring.
