Saelig Company, Inc. has announced the debut of CANminiBOX, a compact embedded controller that is suited to embedded CANbus control applications.

The product's 128MB SD-RAM capacity is sufficient to control the pre-installed Linux OS, while a 512MB Compact Flash card storage can be upgraded. CANminiBOX also offers low power consumption (less than 6W), ensuring the reliability of passive cooling. DIN-rail mounted units can be placed in tight locations, due to its 3-x-2-x-4.7-in. dimensions and weight of less than 1 lb.

The unit's Linux operating system comes pre-installed as standard, while other choices such as QNX or VxWorks can be integrated to suit customer needs. Each CANminiBOX system is tested and customizable with additional I/O or CANbus ports.

CANminiBOX features an AMDlan 133MHz SC520 processor with 128MB internal SD-RAM and 512MB SD-RAM Compact Flash, with front-panel availability for 10/100MBit/s Ethernet, status LEDs, an RS232 serial port, a CAN port, and one USB1.1 port.
