The merits are as follows.
(1) Downsized device
The volume ratio is 1 to 10 in comparison with the VME card rack (6U) type.
(2) Long-term stable supply
Anxiety about the supply and production discontinuation of the components, necessary for frequent specification changes
and hardware changes of boards, is relieved.
(3) Improvement in environmental resistance
Thermal and vibration durability is improved.
(4) The OS is replaced with a proven embedded OS and thus stable operation is performed.
(5) Users can free themselves from the task of selecting boards and software to keep up with updates on the version of the OS
for personal computers (Windows).
(6) The hard diskless design reduces failures.
