Reliability in the toughest environment The 6040 PC microcontroller is a 386–powered Micro PC computer with the essential I/O functions for embed- ded applications. It integrates serial ports, digital I/O, analog I/O, LPT1 and floppy drive (through LPT1) into a single card. The 6040 is ideal for applications in trans- portation, security, military, communications, distributed control, point–of–sale, ticketing machines, weighing equipment, and other similar applications. The low–power requirements make it suitable for situations Octagon products are designed and manufac- tured under the supervision of an ISO 9001- where battery life or heat dissipation is a concern. 2000 certified quality management system.
