Description
The VXI Embedded Controller, with the part number 776521-02 and model VXICPU-030, is a cutting-edge system designed for sophisticated applications. Manufactured by National Instruments, this controller is based on the robust 68030-microprocessor, drawing its architecture from the MVME147S processor board developed by Motorola. It is engineered to be the system controller of VXIbus Slot 0, ensuring seamless integration and operation within complex systems.
The VXIcpu-030 Software Development Kit is specifically tailored for VxWorks, coming in a tape format. This kit facilitates the development of applications and systems that require high reliability and performance. The controller supports NI-VXI driver software for VxWorks OS, ensuring compatibility and ease of integration with existing systems and software environments.
Regarding connectivity, the controller is equipped with standard interfaces including Ethernet, RS-232 ports, SCSI, and IEEE 488/IEEE488.2, providing a wide range of options for communication and data transfer. Moreover, it offers optional interfaces such as additional RS-232 ports, a printer interface (Centronics), and an internal HDD, allowing for further customization and flexibility according to specific project needs.
Despite being announced as obsolete by National Instruments, the VXI Embedded Controller remains available for purchase through Apex Waves. This ensures that projects requiring this specific model can still proceed without the need for significant redesigns or compromises in system architecture.
