The RoadTop^® dockingstations enable the use of ISA expansion cards according to the industrial standard with any notebook computer with PCMCIA / Cardbus slot. The RoadTop^® docking stations are hooked up to the notebook via the standardised PCMCIA / PC card interface. This interface is standardised world-wide and is a standard feature of every notebook. 

The RoadTop^® PCC model range

An exactly balanced range of models permits the performance profile of the system to be precisely matched to the specific operating requirements. Thus models are available that offer between one and four ISA expansion card slots. Flexible plugin facilities for connectors and additional hardware such as measuring amplifiers, a power supply for sensors etc. round out the model spectrum. 

Flexible

It is extremely simple and fast to connect the notebook with the RoadTop^® docking station and also to disconnect it again. This possibility ensures the unrestricted usability of the notebook computer. At any time it is also possible to operate it together with different computer systems. The result is a decisive increase in system availability. Especially in demanding industrial applications, the highest possible availability of the system is often a decisive criterion. 

Full compatibility 

The RoadTop^® docking stations are compatible with every notebook and also feature unrivalled compatibility with the ISA standard :

• Synchronous 8 MHz ISA Clock
• Full 64k I/O addressing
• Full 16 MB memory address decoding
• Hardware-transparent operation
• Jumperless design

This guarantees safe and reliable operation of the cards. 

Future-proof 

Since they use world-wide standardised interfaces, RoadTop^® docking stations are an absolutely future-proof investment. Even if you later decide to change the computer system, the docking hardware continues to be fully usable.
