CSM DOS-Drive Mini PCB (RS232)
Fields of Applications
Memory Cards are used as universal, flexible and reliable media to exchange data between devices and PCs.
Often there is the need to integrate a Memory Card interface into an existing device.
For this purpose CSM offers the DOS-Drive Mini, a universal and mature solution for embedded systems.
This product is based on our long standing experience in secure Memory Card applications.
CSM DOS-Drive Mini is used in these fields:
Machine and Plant Construction
Machine setup data, process instructions and control
Traffic Engineering
Trip recorders, passenger counting, traffic light control
Medical Technology
Biosignal recorders, reading of therapy data for dialysis devices
Measurement Technology
Recording of measurement data, e.g. in weighing systems
Universal Data Format for PC Cards
The Microsoft DOS FAT File System is widely-used and supported by all computers running Windows.
If an embedded system needs to exchange data with a PC, it must be able to manage the data on the Memory Card in DOS format. The design of the required hard- and software is normally associated with high engineering costs.
With CSM DOS-Drive Mini a professional and perfect standard product can be used directly. Your final system meets the expected functionality without the expense and risk of an individual system development.
Robust Storage Medium
As storage media ATA Flash Cards are supported which are perfect for industrial use due to their
reliability and robustness.
For use with DOS-Drive Mini we recommend CSM SuperStore ATA Flash Cards which are available in capacities from 32 MB to 2 GB.
