Description
The VXI Embedded Controller with part number 182014H-330 is a robust system designed for demanding applications. This model, VXICPU-030, is powered by a 68030-microprocessor, ensuring efficient processing and reliable performance.
It is built upon the MVME147S processor board, originally developed by Motorola, which is known for its high reliability and compatibility with a wide range of applications. The device acts as a system controller for VXIbus Slot 0, providing a stable and secure platform for integrated systems.
Support for the VxWorks operating system allows for versatile and powerful software solutions, making it easier for developers to deploy complex applications with reduced development times. The controller is equipped with various standard interfaces, including Ethernet, two RS-232 ports, SCSI, and IEEE 488/IEEE488.2, offering a broad range of connectivity options.
For users requiring additional functionality, there are options for eight RS-232 ports, a Centronics compatible printer interface, and an internal hard disk drive. The embedded controller also features an internal 512M hard disk for storage, and a total of eight serial ports (four RS-232 and four RS-422), enhancing its versatility and capacity for handling various data transmission requirements.
The onboard SCSI interface support with Onboard DMA facilitates fast and efficient data transfers, making this controller suitable for applications that require high-speed data processing and storage. The unit comes pre-installed with NI-VXI driver software, ensuring easy integration and compatibility with a wide range of software applications and tools.
Although it has been announced as obsolete by National Instruments, it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, providing a reliable solution for users who need this specific model for their existing systems or specialized applications.
