About
The EM500 is a miniature stand-alone BASIC-programmable embedded module, designed to be used in
combination with a standard LED/magnetics RJ45 jack. The combined footprint of the EM500 and a standard jack
is only 28.5x18.5mm.
The module’s hardware mix, which includes 10/100BaseT Ethernet, a serial port, and 8 I/O lines, has been carefully
tailored to address the basic needs of lightweight network-enabled control devices.
Compact dimensions, space-saving “vertical slice” mechanical design, low power consumption, and innovative
dual-function LED control lines make the module an excellent fit for miniature, cost-sensitive designs.
In the near future, the EM500 will also support Wi-Fi communications (using the GA1000 add-on board), as well as
external LCD, keypad, and flash disk (via an SPI flash IC).
The EM500 can be ordered standalone or in combination with an industry-standard RJ45 jack and/or all discrete
components required to complete the circuit.
