HiDAN is the ideal solution when conditions demand a system capable
of performing in harsh environments. HiDAN's design maximizes ruggedization by enhancing resistance to shock, vibration, water, and airborne particles. Just like the IDAN system, each frame is milled from a solid block of aluminum with the addition of an integrated tongue and groove O-ring for environmental sealing and EMI suppression, ensuring a watertight system with minimum emissions. The machined aluminum frames coupled with MIL I/O connectors add superior shock and impact resistance to your system.

RTD developed HiDANplus to combine the modular stacking
concept of IDAN with the environmental ruggedness of HiDAN. Each HiDANplus frame has an integrated tongue and groove O-ring for environmental sealing and EMI suppression, ensuring a watertight system with minimum emissions. The machined aluminum frames coupled with MIL I/O connectors add superior shock and impact resistance to your system. Each module contains one to four PC/104-based boards with a custom wiring harness and I/O connectors. In addition to the stackable PCIe, PCI, and ISA busses, module-to-module signal connections are accomplished using an internal 120-pin stackable signal raceway, which is user-configurable allowing I/O connectors to be mounted on any frame of the system. Expanding the functionality of a system is as easy as adding another module to the stack. This rugged enclosure packaging system is a solution for any of RTD's PC/104, PC/104-Plus, PCI-104, PCI/104-Express and PCIe/104 modules.

Helios is an wide temperature PC/104 SBC based on the Vortex86DX processor at 1GHz or 800MHz, with on-board memory, VGA/LCD support, 10/100 Ethernet, 4 RS-232/422/485 serial ports, and integrated autocalibrating data acquisition. Its soldered-on 256MB memory plus -40/+85C operating range make it suitable for mobile and other rugged applications. The 2-in-1 SBC + I/O design reduces stack size and increases reliability of the overall system. Helios offers a complete SBC solution in the compact PC/104 format for low-power, low-cost applications.
Helios is offered both with and without a high-performance data acquisition circuit integrated onto the SBC. The data acquisition circuit includes 16 channels of 16-bit A/D with programable ranges and 250KHz maximum sample rate. A programmable A/D sampling timer plus a 2K sample FIFO support seamless high-speed A/D conversions at any rate up to the board's limit. Input ranges of +/-10V down to +/-1.25V in bipolar mode and 0-10V down to 0-1.25V in unipolar mode enable the circuit to match a wide range of input signals for optimum resolution.
The circuit also includes 4 12-bit D/A channels with programmable ranges of +/-10V, +/-5V, 0-10V, and 0-5V. Both A/D and D/A feature autocalibration, which keeps measurements accurate regardless of time and temperature.
The base model of Helios offers 16 digital I/O lines with programmable direction. The data acquisition circuit adds 24 more lines for a total of 40.
All data acquisition features are supported by our Universal Driver software which provides a high-level programming interface for use with Windows XP/XPembedded/CE, Linux, QNX, and even DOS.
For more I/O needs, Helios includes a PC/104 connector compatible with Diamond's wide line of PC/104 I/O modules, including analog data acquisition, digital I/O, relays and optocouplers, serial ports, and DC/DC power supplies.

Epsilon-8100 is a managed Layer 2+ Ethernet switch module offering eight 10/100/1000Mbps copper twisted pair ports on a PC/104 form-factor board.
Epsilon can be used standalone, without any connection to a single board computer, or in conjunction with a host CPU. The module's built-in microcontroller handles configuration and management. On-board memory holds dual application images, boot code, MAC addresses, and other parameters, and can also be used for program execution.
An RS-232 serial port enables communication between the module's on-board management microcontroller and a host processor for out-of-band management. Epsilon's built-in microcontroller is also accessible via a web management interface over one of the Ethernet ports. This port is then shared for simultaneous web management and normal usage.
Input power can be provided through the built-in, wide-range +5-36VDC power supply, enabling operation using industrial power sources.
Epsilon's advanced Ethernet switch board includes two innovative features that enable automatic power savings. The switch can detect unused Ethernet ports on network devices and power them down or place them in stand-by mode. Additionally, the switch actively adjusts the power level needed based on cable length, saving energy on links shorter than the 100m maximum specified length.
Epsilon is loaded with all required firmware, enabling its immediate operation without any development effort. The included web interface provides an intuitive GUI for use in configuring and managing switch functionality.
Epsilon is available with two different thermal solutions; a heatspreader and heatsink option, both of which supports fanless operation over -40°C to +85°C.
