LIPPERT Automationstechnik GmbH – ISA96 FOX2 Industrial Embedded Processor – S-ISA96-FOX2-VE166 – Industrial Single-Board Computer / CPU Motherboard-Used – 3300.10444

Description

LIPPERT S-ISA96-FOX2-VE166 industrial single-board computer for embedded systems, process control, and laboratory automation. This German-manufactured CPU module operates on the ISA96/AT96 bus standard, a European industrial computing specification implementing 16-bit ISA architecture in Eurocard 3U form factor. 

The FOX2 series represents LIPPERT’s mid-range embedded processor solution, designed as the core computing element for manufacturing systems, automation controllers, and lab equipment. VE166 variant indicates a specific processor/memory configuration optimized for industrial applications. 

Features comprehensive I/O connectivity including RS232C serial interface, USB connectivity, VGA video output, keyboard interface, and CompactFlash or IDE storage options. Supports BIOS booting from multiple media types including hard drives, flash memory, and USB devices. Integrates battery-buffered system memory for non-volatile data retention. 

Watchdog timer functionality for enhanced reliability in unattended industrial operation. Designed for long-term industrial deployment with passive cooling and extended temperature operating range. Physically conforms to Eurocard 3U standard (160mm depth, DIN41612 C96 connector) enabling installation in industrial Eurocard backplane systems up to 8-card configurations. 

Originally deployed in Suss MicroTec semiconductor processing equipment (CONVAC, Falcon, Gamma, ACS200 lithography systems) and legacy industrial automation platforms. 

Discontinued product representing 1990s-2000s industrial embedded computing technology. Used condition with typical cosmetic wear from laboratory or manufacturing facility operation. 

Functional status requires verification by qualified technician with ISA96 test equipment. Suitable for industrial system restoration, legacy equipment maintenance, embedded systems research, and industrial computing history preservation. Specialist product requiring ISA96-compatible backplane system and compatible interface cards for deployment.
