VGA output, a CompactFlash socket for adding additional storage space, and USB ports for a keyboard/mouse connection or for adding additional storage space. These features make the IA260 series ideal for your industrial embedded applications, such as SCADA, manufacturing automation, and other industrial applications.
Because of its VGA output capability, the IA260 can be used for protocol conversion or data acquisition for field site devices, and is also suitable for SCADA systems in industrial applications, such as manufacturing automation, production line process monitoring, and mining automation.

LED indicators allow users to monitor performance and identify trouble spots quickly, and the multiple ports can be used to connect a variety of devices. The IA260 comes with a reliable and stable hardware platform that lets you devote the bulk of your time to application development. In this chapter, we provide basic information about the embedded computer’s hardware and its various components.
Reset Button The IA260 has a reset button located on the top panel. The reset button can be used to do a simple Reset, which is equivalent to turning the power off and then back on again, or Reset to default, which returns the IA260 to its factory default parameter configuration.
DIN-Rail Mounting The aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate is already attached to the product’s casing. To attach the plate to IA260, make sure that the stiff metal spring is facing the top of the IA260, as shown in the following figures. STEP1:...
IA260 Hardware Hardware Introduction Wall Mounting (optional) For some applications, you will find it convenient to mount the IA260 on the wall, as depicted in the following illustrations. STEP 1: Attach the wallmount kit to the IA260’s rear panel with 2 screws.
Hardware Connection Description This section describes how to connect the IA260 to a network and various devices for first time testing purposes. The following topics are covered in this chapter: Wiring Requirements Connecting the Power Grounding the Unit ...
Connecting the Power The IA260 has a 3-pin terminal block for a 12 to 48 VDC power input. The following figures show how the power input interface connects to external power sources. If the power is properly supplied, the Power LED will light up.
Connecting to the Console Port The IA260’s console port is a 4-pin pin-header RS-232 port. It is designed for serial console terminals, which are useful for identifying the boot up message, or for debugging when the system cannot boot up.
– Connecting to a Keyboard and Mouse Use the 2 USB hosts located on the front side of unit to connect a keyboard and mouse to the IA260. Connecting to the Network Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to one of the IA260’s 10/100M Ethernet ports (8-pin RJ45) and the other end of the cable to the Ethernet network.
Connecting to a Serial Device Use properly wired serial cables to connect the IA260 to serial devices. The serial ports of the IA260 use male DB9 connectors. The ports can be configured by software for RS-232, RS-422, or 2-wire RS-485. The precise...
Digital Output Wiring Insert CompactFlash Card The IA260 has a built-in CompactFlash socket that allows users to add additional memory by inserting a CompactFlash memory card, without any risk to the computer. Follow the instructions below to insert a CompactFlash card: 1.
5. Screw the protective cover to the font panel. ATTENTION The IA260 does not support CompactFlash hot swap and PnP (Plug and Play) function. It is necessary to remove power source first before inserting or removing the CompactFlash card. USB Hosts The IA260 provides 2 USB 2.0 full speed hosts (OHCI), type A connectors, which support a keyboard or mouse,...
