Thin clients are network computers that are especially small so that most data processing occurs on the server. Thin clients are powered by centralized servers and do not contain CD-ROM drives, disc drives, and expansion slots

Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (AdvancedTCA or ATCA) products use advanced telecom computing architecture (AdvancedTCA), an open standard for high-speed, high-performance telecommunications systems

Fieldbus products are industrial automation products used in industrial network communications on factory floors

LXI products use LAN extension for instrumentation (LXI), a networking platform designed for the management of instruments in industrial environments. LXI is based on Ethernet technology and usable across a local area network (LAN

Programmable automation controller (PAC) systems consist of PAC modules, each of which performs a specific function. PAC systems are used in motion control, machine control, machine vision, and other industrial control applications.

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are the control hubs for a wide variety of automated systems and processes. They use a wide variety of inputs and outputs and provide network capability

Notebook and laptop computers are portable computers that usually feature integral keyboards and monitors.

RapidIO products use a high-performance, packet-switched architecture to pass data and control information between microprocessors, digital signal processors (DSPs), communication and network processors, system memory, and peripherals within a system

VME switches and VXI switches are used in industrial systems to connect test points, or devices, to instruments for the purpose of testing, measuring or monitoring the system.

Programmable automation controllers (PAC) are compact industrial controllers used in applications such as data acquisition and control, machine vision control, and process control. PACs are functionally similar to programmable logic controllers (PLC), but provide the advanced software features of personal computers (PC).

VME and VXI controllers and processors are special computers that control data transfers between devices in VME and VXI networks. They also control the status of interrupts, interrupt requests (IRQs), registers, and triggers as well as network instruments for testing and analysis

VME and VXI products is a general search form that covers peripherals for the VersaModle Eurocard (VME) bus and VME extensions for instrumentation (VXI),  an electrical and mechanical standard used mainly with automatic test equipment (ATE). VME and VXI products include switches, extenders, controllers, processors, and interface adapters. More detailed search forms are available for individual areas.

Programmable automation controller (PAC) modules are add-on devices that perform a specific control function in PAC systems.

PCMCIA bus interface cards translate data from a PCMCIA bus to another type of bus, and vice versa. They are used to connect two incompatible buses.

Intellectual property (IP) cores are pre-designed, pre-tested, integrated circuits or boards of industry-standard functions that can be easily used in embedded applications. Generally IP cores are treated as intellectual property and are licensed to OEMs.
