Practical Application 2: Application of Advantech PCM-9375 in UV Flue Gas Analyzer

A customer in North China is a leading enterprise in domestic environmental monitoring and analysis equipment such as ambient air monitoring and industrial waste gas monitoring. It has independently developed a portable ultraviolet flue gas analyzer. This portable instrument is small in size and can not only complete the smoke and flue gas detection and analysis functions through a spectrometer, but also has a touch panel, keyboard and LCD screen, and can be connected to a printer to print analysis information in real time.

This instrument uses Advantech's PCM-9375 embedded single-board computer as the main controller of the smoke analyzer. PCM-9375 is a 102X146mm 3.5-inch motherboard with an AMD LX800 CPU. The power consumption of the entire board is as low as 3.36W, which can ensure long-term stable operation of the equipment. At the same time, it provides a variety of interfaces, such as LVDS to connect the LCD screen, USB2.0*4 for connecting the touch panel, keyboard, mouse, keyboard and U disk, and serial ports such as RS-485 to connect the spectrometer and RS-232 to connect the printer. In addition, in the expansion part, an additional PC/104 slot is provided to facilitate customers to carry out more applications. Advantech's PCM-9375 is very suitable for the product requirements of ultraviolet smoke analyzers that are portable, low-power and multi-expandable.

PCM-9375 Product Features:

AMD Geode™ low-power LX800 500 MHz processor

24-bit TFT LCD interface, 18-bit LVDS LCD display

Low power consumption: 7~8 W, supports wide temperature range: -40 ~ 85° C

Dual 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet ports

Support 4 COM, 4 USB, PC/104 expansion

Support SUSIAccess and embedded software APIs
