Description
The VXI Embedded Controller, part number 183466J-01, is a sophisticated integration designed for advanced technological environments. This particular model, VXIPC-850, comes equipped with a 2-slot, C-size specification, making it versatile for various applications.
At its core, the VXIPC-850 operates with a PCI local bus controlled VXIbus interface, ensuring efficient communication between different system components. The device is articulated around several logic blocks including a CPU Card, System I/O, ISA Expansion Slot, PCI Expansion Slot, among others, providing a comprehensive solution for system integration needs.
When it comes to data transfer, the VXIPC-850 utilizes a MITE based PCI-VXIbus interface technology. This not only guarantees high-speed data handling but also ensures reliability in data transmission. The arbitration and trigger management are adeptly handled by the MANTIS ASIC, further enhancing the device’s performance capabilities.
The VXIbus interface features are notably augmented by SMB connectors for CLK10 signals and triggers, offering additional flexibility in usage. Moreover, the device boasts an Ethernet connectivity option via an ISA-based circuit with an RJ-45 connector, facilitating network integration.
For communication with peripherals, the VXIPC-850 is equipped with a standard IEEE 488.2 port GPIB interface. This interface supports programming through ISA interrupts 5 or 11, allowing for seamless integration and control. The controller’s enclosure is made of metal designed for EMC performance, with removable sections for easy access and maintenance.
CLK10 signal sources are another highlight, featuring an internal oscillator and an external CLK SMB connector, ensuring precise timing and synchronization across devices. Despite the announcement of its obsolete status by National Instruments, the VXIPC-850 remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, demonstrating its lasting value and reliability in the field.
