RabbitCore® RCM4200
Microprocessor Core Module
The RabbitCore RCM4200 series of powerful embedded control
devices offer intelligence and Fast Ethernet connectivity for
sophisticated data logging and serial to Ethernet applications.
Overview
The RCM4200 series of core modules are pin-compatible and
easily interchangeable with other RCM4XXX based products. The
RCM4200 acts as the microprocessor of an embedded system and
is designed to mount directly to a user-supplied motherboard,
allowing CMOS-compatible digital devices to interface with the
motherboard. The RCM4200 offers robust features including
large memory and Fast Ethernet, making it ideal for intensive
communications and data-logging applications. The optional
analog helps to diversify your connectivity options.
Evaluation of the RCM4200 is easy with the RabbitCore RCM4200
development kit, which provides all the necessary hardware
and software to quickly get started. Please visit
