MXE-1200 Series
Intel
®
Atom™ N270 Fanless Embedded Computer with 12 COM Ports
Introduction
ADLINK's MXE-1200 is based on the Intel® Atom™ N270 1.6 GHz processor and provides 12 serial ports for
device communication and control. This distinctive feature delivers to the ability to access multiple devices using a
compact and rugged controller without the need for additional serial communication cards.
Leveraging the design of the Matrix MXE-1000 series, the MXE-1200 series retains all the remarkable features of
the Matrix E series, including rugged -20 to 70°C fanless operation, 5 Grms vibration resistance, and 6-36 VDC
wide range power input. The design of serial ports is also flexible to meet the need of a wide variety of
applications. Two of the 12 COM ports can be configured to RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 via a BIOS setting. Two of
the 12 COM ports are RS-232 COM Ports (COM3 & COM4). The remaining eight COM ports are either RS-232
(MXE-1212/232), RS-422 (MXE-1212/422) or RS-485 (MXE-1212/485). The MXE-1200 series is also equipped
with a mini-PCIe socket, USIM socket to support expansion of wireless communication capabilities.
Combining reliability, compactness, and a unique feature of 12 COM ports, the MXE-1200 series is the perfect fit
for communicating with external devices which will greatly benefit many applications such as toll gate control
(RS-232), automatic fare collection systems (RS-232), and smart grid (RS-422/485).
