Description
The VXI Embedded Controller with part number 182010G-01 is a sophisticated device designed for advanced applications. This particular model, VXICPU-030, is manufactured by National Instruments, a leader in the field of precision instruments. At the heart of this device is the powerful 68030 microprocessor. This system is based on the robust MVME147S (Motorola) processor board, ensuring reliable performance and compatibility.
The default configuration role of this embedded controller is as the System Controller of VXIbus Slot 0. Users have the flexibility to modify configurations through the use of jumpers and switches, allowing for customization based on specific needs. The device boasts comprehensive driver software support for the VxWorks OS, ensuring smooth operation and compatibility with a wide range of applications.
When it comes to connectivity, the VXI Embedded Controller does not disappoint. It features standard interfaces including Ethernet, two RS-232 ports, SCSI, and IEEE 488/IEEE488.2. The SCSI interface is particularly noteworthy for its onboard DMA support, enhancing data transfer speeds and efficiency. For users requiring additional connectivity options, this device offers optional interfaces such as 8 RS-232 ports, a printer interface (Centronics compatible), and an internal hard disk drive.
Despite being announced as obsolete by National Instruments, this VXI Embedded Controller remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. This ensures that users can continue to rely on this high-quality device for their critical applications without concern for its end-of-life status.
