Micro-Box is a rugged, high-performance industrial PC with no moving parts inside. The product supports all standard PC peripherals including video, mouse, and keyboard. For engineers who have real-time analysis and control systems testing needs, Micro-Box offers an excellent mix of performance, compact size, sturdiness, and I/O expandability. A selection of I/O options are available providing, support for SCI, TCP/IP, and PC/104 or PCI based AD/DA, DI/O and Counter (PWM) modules that address numerous prototyping requirements. Micro-Box is integrated with MATLAB/Simulink and related control modules allowing the user to conduct real-time modeling and simulation of control systems, rapid prototyping, and hardware-in-the-loop testing without the need of manual code generation and complicated debug processes. This results in significant cost savings and reduced development time.
