Description
The product with the part number 182014-010D falls under the category of VXI Embedded Controller. It is identified by the model number VXICPU-030. This model comes as a Standard Kit with Eight Serial Ports (RS-232), making it highly versatile for various applications. It is manufactured by National Instruments, a leading company in the field of instrumentation and control systems.
The heart of this embedded controller is the 68030-microprocessor, which provides robust performance for computing needs. It incorporates the MVME147S processor board from Motorola, ensuring a reliable base hardware architecture for demanding applications.
One of the key features of this VXI embedded controller is its system controller functionality, which can be configured as a VXIbus Slot 0 system controller. This feature enhances its utility in modular measurement systems. Compatibility with driver software is critical for any embedded system; this model supports NI-VXI driver software, which can be installed on the VxWorks operating system, facilitating smooth integration and operation within your setup.
Regarding connectivity, the standard interfaces include Ethernet, two RS-232 ports, SCSI, and IEEE 488/IEEE488.2. For those requiring additional connectivity options, there are optional interfaces available, such as eight RS-232 ports, a printer interface that is Centronics compatible, and an internal HDD. Furthermore, the onboard DMA for SCSI interface underscores its advanced support for SCSI, enhancing data transfer and management capabilities.
Lastly, it is important to note that this model has been announced as obsolete by National Instruments. However, it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring that users can continue to benefit from its robust features and performance.
