Description
The purpose of the DNA-CAR-550 is to provide an industry-standard wireless
interface between UEI UEIPAC GigE-based programmable automation
controllers and the Internet. The CAR-550 accepts a standard PCI Express Mini
Card that is compatible with a wide range of COTS cell, WIFI, and other
communication cards, some of which include a direct GPS interface. Note that
only Mini Cards that are based on the USB 2.0 interface are supported by the
CAR-550 board.
