Description
The Part Number 183513A-000 refers to a VXI Embedded Controller known by its model designation, VXICPU-030. This particular model is described as the VXIcpu-030 Standard Kit, a product of National Instruments. At its core, it utilizes a 68030-microprocessor, and its design is based on the MVME147S processor board from Motorola.
One of the key features of the VXICPU-030 is its ability to support C function calls and several interactive utilities for comprehensive VXI functionality, making it a versatile tool for developers and engineers. The device is pre-configured but allows for modifications via jumpers and switches to suit different needs or applications. As the system controller, it occupies the VXIbus Slot 0 by default.
Software support is robust with the NI-VXI driver software, which can be installed on the VxWorks operating system, ensuring compatibility and ease of integration into existing systems. When it comes to connectivity, the VXICPU-030 is equipped with standard interfaces including Ethernet, two RS-232 ports, SCSI, and IEEE 488/IEEE488.2, providing a range of options for communication and data transfer.
Additionally, the controller features onboard DMA for SCSI support, enhancing its performance and utility. For users requiring more from their setup, there are optional interfaces available such as eight RS-232 ports, a printer interface compatible with Centronics, and an internal hard disk drive, offering further expandability.
Despite being announced as obsolete, the VXICPU-030 remains available for purchase, offering a valuable option for systems requiring a reliable embedded VXI controller with extensive support and connectivity options.
