NetDCU3 - Single Board Computer
The NetDCU3 is not only a single board computer with compact measurements and high computing power, the NetDCU3 is rather a complete system consisting of hardware and operating system, where the user can immediately begin writing applications. Developing drivers or compiling the kernel belongs to the past. The hardware was designed for the industrial environment, that means robust connectors, a long product life cycle and security mechanisms like hardware watchdog and error correction. Interfacing to other systems is done via Ethernet or RS232. And all common graphic LCD displays can be connected directly and straightforward to the NetDCU3.
By using the provided capabilities for touch panel and matrix keyboard, the user interface can be realized very cost-effectively. Standard operating systems like Embedded Linux and Windows CE assure compatibility to other systems and a large functional scope. Thus applications in machines or measurement instruments as well as info systems (POS/POI) or terminals (Thin Client) are possible. The NetDCU3 is also suited for users of the DCUL3/L4 devices who require a connection to the Ethernet or need more computing power because the NetDCU3 is pin compatible to that product family.
 
Embedded Linux

This variant of the NetDCU3 has a full-featured Linux kernel on-board, including a graphic user interface. Therefore the NetDCU3 is immediately usable as a stand-alone Linux computer. For developing application software, the NetDCU3 is connected via Ethernet to a PC. Whether this PC runs under Linux or Windows does not matter because the development environment is available for both systems. It consists of a graphical front end and a comprehensive set of tools, libraries and system utilities.
