BL2100 Smartcat

Single-Board Computer

The BL2100 Smartcat is a low-cost,

high-performance single-board computer

featuring Ethernet connectivity and

keypad/display options—all in one

small package. Perfect for embedded

control and data acquisition, the

Smartcat is a feature-rich design solution,

providing comprehensive integrated

control capabilities in a compact form

factor. The BL2100 is also ideal for

remotely monitoring and supervising

other programmable systems or for

Ethernet-enabling a new or existing

product.

Available in four flexible configura-

tions—two with Ethernet, two without—

all Smartcat models feature 40 digital

I/O, three RS-232/485 serial ports (plus

one programming port), Rabbit 2000™

microprocessor at 22.1 MHz, 128K

SRAM and 256K Flash (standard),

7 timers, and battery-backed real-time

clock. For the most demanding applica-

tions, the BL2100 and BL2120 models

include 11 channels of 12-bit resolution

A/D input and 4 channels of 12-bit D/A

output. The Smartcat’s 16 digital

push/pull outputs allow per-point sinking

or sourcing, addressing the needs of

both domestic and international markets.

A 122 x 32 graphic display with seven

relegendable keys is available as a cost-

effective user interface. Programmable

LEDs provide quick-status feedback,

and the entire board/display assembly

mounts in an integrated plastic enclosure.

Programs are developed for the

Smartcat with Z•World’s industry-

proven Dynamic C

Premier software

development system. Software libraries

and a built-in converter program facilitate

display of international characters,

bitmap images, and graphic constructs

such as circles, lines, and squares. An

extensive library of drivers and demo

programs is also provided. All BL2100

models can be programmed and

debugged over Ethernet/Internet using

appropriate accessory hardware.
