Reliability in the toughest environment The 6050 PC microcontroller s a 386–powered Micro PC computer with the essential I/O functions for embed- ded applications. It integrates serial ports, digital I/O, LPT1 and floppy drive (through LPT1) into a single card. The 6050 is ideal for applications in transportation, security, military, communications, distributed control, point–of–sale, ticketing machines, weighing equipment, and other similar applications. The low–power require- ments make it suitable for situations where battery life or Octagon products are designed and manufac- tured under the supervision of an ISO 9001- heat dissipation is a concern. 2000 certified quality management system.
