Trident develops compact industrial PC

Built in heavy-duty steel, aluminium and copper, the AMOS-3000 from Trident measures 135mm x 45mm x 131mm.

It is constructed in five pieces - the top cover, bottom plate, front and rear I/O panels and the DOM module - and is offered with desk, wall and VESA mounting options.

As a result of the cool running VIA processor technology and the advanced thermal design of the case, this compact embedded box computer is fanless and has no moving parts.

The VIA AMOS-3000 is based on the EPIA P700 Pico-ITX form factor board powered by either a 1GHz VIA C7 processor or an ultra-low voltage 500MHz VIA Eden processor.

It supports up to 1GB of DDR2 SO-DIMM system memory.

Storage is via a 44-pin IDE interface for DOM, with an optional storage sub-system expansion chassis available for standard 2.5in SATA drive support.

An onboard RJ45 connector provides Gigabit networking while the VIA VT1708A offers HD audio.

WLAN networking is also available.

Additional features include four USB 2.0 ports, an onboard GPIO port, a COM port and a programmable watchdog timer.

System LED indicators are provided for power and HDD activity.

Specifically designed for use in challenging physical environments, the VIA AMOS-3000 from Trident is rated for operation at temperatures between -20C to +60C and can withstand vibration of 5Grms and shocks of up to 50G in its Flash drive form.
