1 General Information
1.1 Overview
Based on SOM200EX module with 512MB DDR3 onboard memory,
VEX-6225 offers balanced and stable computing performance for your industrial
applications.
VEX-6225 is equipped with Mini PCIe, USB, COM, SATA, Micro SD, CAN,
I2C, ADC, LCD, VGA, LAN and SIM card slot allowing 3G/4G wireless
communication plus expansion I/O to meet a variety of application demands like
data acquisition, industrial automation, process control, medical device, etc.
Designed to meet 3.5” specification with backward compatibility to provide
migration path for projects facing end-of-life challenges with their existing x86
based 3.5” controller. Additionally, the VEX-6225 family of controller is designed
as plug in replacement with backward compatibility to support legacy software to
extend existing product life cycle without heavy re-engineering.
