GE Fanuc PC8400-1211A-DB Talon Celeron M-Based Embedded PC

The GE Fanuc PC8400-1211A-DB Talon is a compact, fanless embedded PC built on Intel Celeron M architecture for industrial control and automation in harsh environments. The system combines low-power operation with extensive I/O connectivity, supporting dual Fast Ethernet ports, four isolated RS232/485 serial interfaces, and three PC/104-Plus expansion sites. Its aluminum housing and fanless design eliminate moving parts, while electronic over-temperature protection with LED indication ensures safe shutdown in demanding thermal conditions. Standard operating range spans 5°C to 40°C, with optional extended operation to -20°C to 50°C. Multiple mounting configurations

DIN rail, panel, or tabletop - enable flexible deployment across diverse industrial installations. ## Technical Specifications • Processor: Intel Celeron M • Memory: 256 MB PC100/PC133 SDRAM • Storage: 20 GB hard drive • Operating Temperature: 5°C to 40°C (standard); optional -20°C to 50°C extended range • Certifications: UL, CE, NEBS level 3, FCC B; optional UL 1604 for hazardous locations ## Key Features • Fanless operation for increased reliability • Four USB 2.0 ports and one IEEE 1284 parallel port • SVGA video output • Two open PCMCIA slots for wireless connectivity expansion • Three PC/104-Plus expansion sites • Electronic shutdown with over-temperature LED indicator • Multiple mounting options: DIN rail, panel, or tabletop • Low power consumption architecture • Windows XP Professional compatible ## Typical Applications • Industrial process control and automation • Legacy equipment integration via serial communication • Field-deployed systems requiring extended temperature operation • Network-distributed control nodes in harsh environments ## Compatibility & Integration Dual Fast Ethernet ports enable deterministic network communication and redundancy in control systems. Four individually isolated RS232/485 serial ports accommodate legacy sensors, drives, and devices without protocol conversion. The three PC/104-Plus expansion sites allow system integrators to add specialized modules - data acquisition, I/O expansion, or protocol interfaces - tailoring the platform to application-specific requirements.
