Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9719396A1] An industrial computing device that is expandable by the use of expansion modules. The industrial computing device includes a field mountable housing having a primary housing (70) and first and second side covers (68, 66). The processor (22) is internal to the housing and the first side cover (68) allows access to the processor (22). At least one peripheral connector (94(1), 94(2)) adapted to receive at least one PCMCIA card (95) is internal to the housing. The peripheral connector (94(1), 94(2)), the primary housing (70), and the side covers (66, 68) being oriented orthogonal to a mounting plane of the industrial computing device.
