Description
The VXI Embedded Controller, part number 187459F-310, is a high-performance computing solution designed for demanding industrial applications. Manufactured by National Instruments, this controller is part of the VXIPC-872B model series, which is known for its robustness and reliability in various operational environments.
At the heart of the VXIPC-872B is an Intel Pentium-III 1.26 GHz processor, which provides the computational power necessary for complex data processing and control tasks. This processor is supported by a Phoenix BIOS that is specifically designed for the VXIpc-870B Series, ensuring optimal system performance and compatibility with VXI hardware.
When it comes to operating systems, the VXIPC-872B offers flexibility with several options available to meet different user requirements. These options include No OS (778296-00), Windows 2000 (778296-01), Windows NT 4.0 (778296-02), and Windows XP (778296-03). This range of operating systems allows users to select the software environment that best fits their application needs.
In addition to its versatile operating system support, the VXIPC-872B is compatible with various software platforms, including VxWorks and Linux. This compatibility ensures that users can deploy a wide range of software solutions to tackle different tasks, from simple data logging to complex control algorithms.
The controller offers several storage options, including an internal IDE and a removable ATA flash drive, providing users with the flexibility to choose the storage solution that best suits their application requirements. Moreover, the inclusion of PCI expansion slots further enhances the system’s expandability, allowing for the addition of specialized cards and modules.
Designed for use in VXI systems, the VXIPC-872B requires two VXI C-size slots for installation. This design ensures that the controller can be easily integrated into existing VXI chassis, making it an ideal choice for system upgrades or new installations.
Despite its obsolete status, the VXIPC-872B remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. This availability ensures that users
