Description
The VXI Embedded Controller with the part number 183513C-010 is a sophisticated piece of equipment designed for high-performance applications. The model VXICPU-030 comes as a Standard Kit with Eight Serial Ports (RS-232), providing ample connectivity for various devices. At the heart of this controller is the 68030-microprocessor, ensuring reliable and efficient processing capabilities.
This controller is based on the MVME147S processor board from Motorola, which is known for its robustness and high performance. It supports the VxWorks Operating System, which is widely recognized for its real-time capabilities, making it suitable for critical applications that require rapid responses.
One of the key features of this VXI Embedded Controller is its System Controller Capability, which allows it to be configured as a VXIbus Slot 0 controller. This is a crucial function for managing the communication and data exchange within the VXI chassis. Additionally, the product comes with NI-VXI driver software included, simplifying the integration process with existing systems.
The controller is equipped with Standard Interfaces including Ethernet, RS-232 ports (2 standard, 8 optional), SCSI, and IEEE 488/IEEE488.2, providing a wide range of connectivity options. The onboard DMA support for SCSI further enhances its performance by enabling direct memory access, which can significantly speed up data transfers.
For users requiring additional functionality, there are Optional Interfaces available such as a Printer interface (Centronics) and Internal HDD, allowing for greater flexibility and customization to meet specific needs.
Despite being announced as obsolete by National Instruments, this VXI Embedded Controller is still available for purchase and repair through Apex Waves. This ensures that users of this advanced controller can continue to rely on its powerful features and capabilities for their critical applications.
