Ideal for data collection and communication, the USB3031 combines web hosting, networking, and industrial control on a compact PC/104 footprint. Multiple on-board protocols, including 10/100 Ethernet, CAN, RS232, RS485, USB, I2C, and SPI, makes protocol conversion a snap. Microchip’s PIC32 gives 105 DMIPS performance under 100mA of power, making the USB3031 battery friendly.

For control, there are (16) 200mA digital I/O lines as well as (4) digital output lines with 500mA sink. USB3031 has 9 channels of 10-bit A/D and an optional 8 channels of 12-bit A/D that, plus an optional (4) channels of 12-bit D/A. Other industrial I/O features include three timers, a programmable LED, battery-backed real-time clock, watchdog timer, and a temperature sensor. I/O expansion is available with StackableUSB™, which accommodates up to (10) client industrial I/O boards.

USB3031 connects to desktop PCs and laptops via ICSP for development with Microchip’s easy-to-use MPLAB® IDE software tools.

UB3031 is the ideal solution for cost-sensitive control applications requiring supervisory management, mid-range data acquisition, and peripheral control.
