Overview

The Moxa DA-681A Series x86-based rack-mount embedded computers

are designed for control, monitoring, data acquisition, and protocol

conversion applications. With its robust design, the DA-681A is suitable

for industrial automation applications, such as power automation,

transportation, and oil and gas.

The DA-681A’s main operating system is based on the 3rd Gen Intel®

Core™ Celeron 1047UE 1.4 GHz CPU and HM65 chipset, which supports

standard x86, 1 x VGA, 4 x USB, 6 Gigabit LAN ports, 2 RS/232/422/485

3-in-1 serial ports, and 10 RS-485 (RS-422 by CV) ports. The DA-681A

has a mini PCIe socket for mSATA and comes with Linux pre-installed;

Windows 7 Embedded is also supported by the CTOS process.

Another plus is that the serial ports come with 2 kV digital galvanic

isolation protection to guarantee communication reliability in harsh

industrial environments. In addition, the state-of-art IEC 61850-3, IEEE

1613, and IEC 60255 compliance all-in-one design provides rich

interfaces especially well-suited for power substation automation

applications.

Reset Button

Pressing the Reset button initiates a warm reboot. The button plays the

same role as a desktop PC’s reset button. After pressing the reset button,

the system will reboot automatically. Note that all unsaved data will be

lost when you push the reset button.

Connecting to a Display

Your DA-681A embedded computer comes with a D-Sub 15-pin female

connector to connect to the VGA monitor. Be sure to remove the power

before you connect or disconnect the monitor cable.

Serial Ports

The DA-681A offers 2 RS-232/422/485 ports with DB9 connectors and 10

RS-485 ports with terminal blocks. The pin assignments for the ports are

shown in the following table:

Configuring the Ethernet Interface

Linux users should follow these steps:

If you use the console cable to configure network settings for the first

time, use the following commands to edit the interfaces file. First, take all

network interfaces offline, before you reconfigure the LAN settings:

# ifdown –a

Next, edit the network interfaces file; you may use the text editor of your

choice, but VI is the default editor on the DA-681A-LX:

#vi /etc/network/interfaces

You may set the DA-681A for either dynamic IP addressing or static

addressing. To set it for dynamic IP addressing, enter the following lines

into the network interfaces file:

# The primary network interface

auto eth0

iface eth0 inet dhcp

- 7 -

If you wish to set an interface for static IP addressing, then use the

following configuration. Each interface must be configured with separate

entries in the network/interfaces file; LAN1 corresponds to eth0, LAN 2

corresponds to eth1, and so forth for the remaining interfaces.

# The loopback network interface

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

# The first LAN interface, LAN 1

auto eth0

iface eth0 inet static

address 192.168.3.127

netmask 255.255.255.0

broadcast 192.168.3.255

# The second LAN interface, LAN 2

auto eth1

iface eth1 inet static

address 192.168.4.127

netmask 255.255.255.0

broadcast 192.168.4.255

Exit VI by typing:

:wq

After the interfaces file has been configured, use the following commands

to reinitialize the network interfaces and activate the new settings

immediately:

#sync; ifup –a

Win7 users should follow these steps:

Step 1:

Go to Start Control Panel Network and Internet 

Network Connections.

Step 2:

From the Local Area Connection Properties screen click

Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then select Properties.

Step 3:

Click OK after inputting the preferred IP address and netmask.
