GF-BOX is a PC box with highly scalable control functions. This version combines the typical functions of PC architecture with a number of specific control application functions (such as use of the VxWorks operating system with GAB programming environment) in a compact case. The Intel processor power can be used for high performance control and automation. Because GF-BOX can be operated with Windows XP (both Professional and Embedded), it can be used for many industrial applications, such as machine control units, data centralization systems, and supervision.
