Description
The VXIPC-650 is an advanced VXI Embedded Controller designed to deliver high-performance computing capabilities for VXI systems. Manufactured by National Instruments, this controller is part of the esteemed VXI/VMEpc 600 Series and is recognized by its part number 183851D-01. The VXIPC-650 is engineered to fit perfectly within a B-size form factor, requiring two B-size slots for installation in a VXI mainframe.
At the core of its design, the VXIPC-650 utilizes an x86 processor architecture, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of software applications and peripherals. It leverages a Peripheral Component Interface (PCI) bus architecture, enhancing its connectivity and data transfer capabilities within the VXI framework. This controller is also equipped with Ethernet capability, facilitating seamless integration into networked environments.
The VXIPC-650 boasts compatibility with the NI-488.2 architecture, ensuring it can easily interface with IEEE 488.2 devices. It supports VXI slot 0 control, allowing it to act as a system controller within a VXI chassis. Furthermore, its design enables operation in a Non-Slot 0 mode without the need for adjusting jumpers, providing flexibility in system configuration.
This controller is VXI Plug-and-Play compliant, simplifying installation and configuration processes for system integrators and end-users. It is compatible with a suite of software including NI-488.2, NI-VXI, NI LabVIEW, NI-VISA, and LabWindows/CVI, offering a versatile development environment for a wide range of applications.
For enhanced functionality, the VXIPC-650 can be equipped with optional items such as a 2 m single-shielded GPIB cable, COM1/2 adapter cable, and an enhanced parallel port adapter cable. Despite its obsolete status announced by National Instruments, the VXIPC-650 remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring continued support for existing and new users.
