Texas Microsystems, Inc. 2003 - 1 General Description; Introduction; Computer Speci£Ications

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.1 Introduction
The 2000 series of industrial computers are suited to a
wide variety of applications where durability. and
ruggedness are required from a powerful IBM PC XT/AT
compatible computer system. Factory automation.
machine control. process control and data acquisition
systems are only a few of these applications.
Because the computers are completely IBM XT or AT
compatible, they take advantage of hundreds of
application software packages. translators, and
operating systems. Hundreds, possibly thousands of
compatible plug in cards ranging from sophisticated
graphics cards to thermocouple sensors cards are also
available.
This manual can be used in conJunction with the 2001A,
2003A and 2004A AT computers for configuration
reference, setup and operating information, maintenance
procedures. and specifications.
1.2 Computer Specifications
Each o£ the computers have the following features in
common:
- IBM PC/AT Compatibility
- Shock mounted disk drives (in most configurations)
- Passive backplane (5,8 bit and 5,16 bit slots>
- Vertically removable CPU card for maintenance
- 150 Watt power supply
In addition, the 2001 computer is designed to be
mounted in a 19
11
RETMA rack. It features positive
pressure. filtered airflow, a separate compartment for
circuit cards. and up to three shock mounted disk
drives.
The 2003 computer is a smaller benchtop or wall mounted
computer for more specialized applications. It
typically has a hard disk and/or one floppy disk.
A portable,
sometimes used
in industrial
diskettes.
self contained floppy disk drive is
with this computer when it is installed
environments not suitable for floppy
