Description
The VXI Embedded Controller with part number 182014-020E is a high-performance controller designed for use in complex VXI systems. This controller is identified by its model number, VXICPU-030, and is built around the powerful 68030 microprocessor. The design of this controller is based on the MVME147S processor board developed by Motorola, ensuring reliable and efficient performance.
As the system controller, it is default configured for VXIbus Slot 0, making it an integral part of the VXI system for managing operations and data flow. The VXI Embedded Controller is compatible with NI-VXI driver software and the VxWorks operating system, providing flexibility in software development and system integration.
The controller features a variety of standard interfaces, including Ethernet, 2x RS-232 ports, SCSI, and IEEE 488/IEEE488.2, to ensure connectivity with a wide range of devices and peripherals. Additionally, it supports onboard DMA for the SCSI interface, enhancing data transfer speeds and efficiency.
For users requiring more connectivity options, the controller offers optional interfaces such as 8x RS-232 ports, a printer interface (Centronics), and an internal HDD, allowing for expanded functionality and storage capabilities.
Despite being announced as obsolete by National Instruments, the VXI Embedded Controller 182014-020E remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. This ensures that users can continue to leverage this powerful controller in their VXI systems, maintaining performance and reliability.
