DA-660/662 Hardware Introduction
1-2
Overview
The DA-660/662 are RISC-based, ready-to-run embedded computers designed for industrial data acquisition
applications. Each model has 16 RS-232/422/485 serial ports, and 2 USB hosts (DA-662 only) based on the
Intel XScale IXP425 communication processor. In addition, the DA-660 has two Ethernet ports, the DA-662 has
4 Ethernet ports. 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-660/662 on a standard 19-inch rack. The
DA-660/662 are ideal for applications that require a distributed embedded technology, such as SCADA systems,
plant floor automation, and power electricity monitoring applications.
The DA-660/662 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-660/662 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-660/662 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-660/662 that come pre-installed with the open-standard Linux 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-660/662 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.
