Abstract:
An industrial computing device that is expandable by the use of expansion modules. The industrial computing device includes a field mountable housing having a primary housing (70) and first and second side covers (68, 66). The processor (22) is internal to the housing and the first side cover (68) allows access to the processor (22). At least one peripheral connector (94(1), 94(2)) adapted to receive at least one PCMCIA card (95) is internal to the housing. The peripheral connector (94(1), 94(2)), the primary housing (70), and the side covers (66, 68) being oriented orthogonal to a mounting plane of the industrial computing device.
Abstract:
An I/O device in the form of an internal dongle (79) includes a body (96) having connective structure being arranged to removably attach the body (96) to a housing of an electronic device. The dongle (79) also includes a circuit assembly that has an exterior connector (102) on the body (96) for electrically connecting to a second electronic device, a dongle circuit (104) being electrically coupled to the external connector (102) through the body, an electronic cable (106) having a first end electrically coupled to the dongle circuit (104), and a second end (108) being structured and arranged to connect to an electronic component of the first mentioned electronic device within the housing.
