Description
The VXI Embedded Controller, part number 183155B-01, is a highly specialized component designed for advanced system integrations. This model, known as the VXIPC-850, is specifically engineered to fit within a 2-slot, C-size configuration, making it an ideal choice for compact and efficient system setups.
At the core of its design, the VXIPC-850 features a PCI local bus controlled VXIbus interface, which ensures seamless communication and interoperability within the VXI ecosystem. The unit is characterized by its modular construction, which includes a variety of essential components such as a CPU Card, System I/O, ISA Expansion Slot, and a PCI Expansion Slot, among others. This modular approach allows for easy customization and upgrades, catering to a wide range of application needs.
The VXIbus interface circuitry of the VXIPC-850 is based on the MITE PCI-VXIbus technology, which is further complemented by the MANTIS ASIC for efficient VXIbus arbitration. This combination of technologies ensures that the VXIPC-850 delivers exceptional performance and reliability for demanding applications.
Connectivity options on the VXIPC-850 are robust, featuring SMB connectors for CLK10 signals and triggers, as well as an RJ-45 connector for Ethernet connections. This ensures that the system can easily interface with a wide range of external devices and networks. Additionally, the unit includes an IEEE 488.2 port GPIB interface, programmable for ISA interrupts 5 or 11, which further enhances its versatility and integration capabilities.
The enclosure of the VXIPC-850 is constructed from metal and is removable, providing easy access for maintenance or upgrades. The device also supports both internal oscillator and external CLK SMB connector sources for CLK10 signals, offering flexibility in signal sourcing.
Despite its obsolete status, the VXIPC-850 remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. This availability ensures that systems utilizing the VXIPC-850 can continue to operate and evolve, making the VXIPC-850 a valuable component for legacy systems as well
