Description
The VXI Embedded Controller with part number 183513A-310 and model VXICPU-030 is a comprehensive solution designed to facilitate advanced VXI functionality. This standard kit comes equipped with an internal 512M HD and eight aerial ports (RS-232), ensuring a wide range of connectivity options for various applications.
At the heart of the controller is a 68030-microprocessor which is mounted on a MVME147S processor board (Motorola). This setup not only guarantees robust performance but also ensures compatibility with a broad spectrum of VXI modules. The architecture is specifically engineered to support C function calls along with several interactive utilities for seamless integration and operation within VXI systems.
The VXICPU-030 is pre-configured as a system controller for VXIbus Slot 0, but it offers flexibility through modifiable settings via jumpers and switches. This feature allows users to tailor the controller to meet specific requirements or to adapt to evolving system configurations.
Moreover, the controller is supported by NI-VXI driver software which is compatible with the VxWorks OS, further enhancing its versatility. The range of interfaces includes an Ethernet Interface, RS-232 ports (2 standard, +6 optional), SCSI interface, and an IEEE 488/IEEE488.2 interface, ensuring comprehensive connectivity options for a variety of peripherals and network configurations.
Additionally, the controller features onboard DMA for SCSI support, enabling high-speed data transfers and efficient operation. Optional interfaces such as 8 RS-232 ports, a printer interface (Centronics), and an internal hard disk drive are available, providing further customization and expansion possibilities.
Despite its obsolete status announced by National Instruments, the VXICPU-030 remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. This ensures that users can continue to utilize this powerful controller in their VXI systems, leveraging its advanced features and capabilities for their specific
