DA-681 Series Hardware User’s Manual Introduction

Overview

The DA-681 computer is based on the Intel x86 processor and supports VGA, 6 Ethernet ports, 4

RS-232 and 8 RS-485 serial ports with optical isolation, CompactFlash, and USB. The DA-681

comes in a standard 19-inch, 1U high form factor, making it an ideal platform for industrial

applications.

With its robust design, the DA-681 is suitable for industrial automation applications that require

standard 19-inch rackmount solutions, such as power automation, transportation, and oil and gas.

Another plus is that the serial ports come with 2 KV optical isolation protection to guarantee

communication reliability in harsh industrial environments.

Moreover, the DPP-T models are in full compliance with IEC 61850-3 standards to meet the

demands of power substation automation.

The DA-681 runs Linux, WinCE 6.0, or Windows XP Embedded (pre-installed), providing a

friendly environment for developing sophisticated application software. The great software support

that Moxa provides makes the programmer’s job easier, and helps programmers develop bug-free

code quickly and at a lower cost.
