OS and PC info:
Instead of a PC,
it is using a ARM9 RISC CPU. This makes this site more dependable
then using Windows and better for an industrial application. This
box also takes about 1.5% of the power of a PC, the Moxa draws only
4.5 watts. Less heat and less
power means less operating cost. A PC running 24 hours at 300 watts is about $35
per month added to your electric bill based on power depending on
where you live.
Note:
"MyWxBox" is made
by Moxa with custom firmware by Air Liquide
