Description
The VXIPC-850, with its part number 182840J-01, falls under the category of VXI Embedded Controller. This piece of equipment is designed with a 2-slot, C-size modular form factor, making it a compact and efficient solution for various applications. It operates with a PCI local bus controlled VXIbus interface, ensuring high-speed data transfer and reliable performance.
One of the key features of the VXIPC-850 is its modular construction, which includes a CPU Card, System I/O, ISA Expansion Slot, PCI Expansion Slot, among other components. This modular approach allows for easy customization and scalability depending on the specific requirements of the application. The device utilizes a MITE based PCI-VXIbus interface for data transfer technology, which is known for its efficiency and reliability.
The VXIPC-850 is equipped with MANTIS ASIC for VXIbus Arbitration and Trigger Management, ensuring smooth operation and coordination within the VXIbus system. The VXIbus interface itself includes SMB connectors for CLK10 signals and triggers routing, providing flexibility in connecting and setting up the system.
For network connectivity, the device features an ISA-based Ethernet circuitry with a standard RJ-45 connector, facilitating easy integration into existing networks. Additionally, it boasts a standard IEEE 488.2 port GPIB logic block, enabling communication with a wide range of GPIB-enabled devices.
The enclosure of the VXIPC-850 is made of metal, designed for easy access and improved EMC performance, ensuring durability and reliability. It also features dual sources for CLK10 signal generation: an internal oscillator and an external CLK SMB connector, offering versatility in signal generation.
GPIB interface programmability is achieved through ISA interrupts 5 or 11, allowing for customizable and flexible GPIB communication setups. Despite its obsolete status, as announced by National Instruments, the VXIPC-850 remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring continued support for users of this advanced VXI Embedded Controller.
