Overview
The DA-720 Series computers are x86 platforms with 14 Gigabit
Ethernet ports, 2 isolated RS-232/422/485 serial ports, USB, VGA, and
2 PCIe ports for expansion modules. The DA-720 comes in a standard
19-inch 2U rack-mountable case. Its robust design is ideal for
specialized industrial automation applications, including power
substations, transportation and shipping, and oil and gas production
and supply.
IEC-61850-3 and IEEE 1613 compliance ensures that the DA-720 can
deliver stable and reliable system operations in power applications. The
DA-720 also complies with the IEC 60255 standards to provide
electrical protection relays for use in a smart substation. IEC 60255 is
one of the most widely used standards for testing relays and protection
equipment, and compliance with the standard ensures that DA-720 will
work reliably and efficiently with IEDs as part of a robust substation
automation system.
EN 50121-4 compliance ensures that the DA-720 can deliver stable and
reliable system operations in rail track-side applications.
The DA-720 comes with two different CPU options and basic models
that allow system designers to install the mSATA interface, RAM, and
operating system according to their specific requirements. This
flexibility is particularly helpful when designing customized industrial
solutions.
The DA-720 is provided with 2 PCIe ports for expansion modules, which
include 8-port RS-232/422/485 module as well as 4-port and 8-port
10/100/1000 Mbps LAN modules. The DA-720 computer can support up
to 22 Gigabit LAN ports plus 10 serial ports, or 14 Gigabit LAN ports
plus 18 serial ports, making it an ideal solution for a wide range of
industrial automation applications.
