Description
The VXI Embedded Controller with part number 776499-02 is a specialized computing module designed for integration into VXI systems. This controller is identified by the model name VXICPU-030 and is characterized by its unique configuration, which includes 6 RS-232 ports and 4 RS-422 ports. It is powered by the 68030 microprocessor, a choice that underscores its robust performance capabilities.
At the heart of this controller’s design is the MVME147S processor board by Motorola, a testament to its reliable and efficient operational framework. This board enables the VXICPU-030 to serve effectively as a System Controller within the VXIbus architecture, specifically occupying the Slot 0 in its default configuration. This positioning is critical for the management and coordination of system resources and data flow within the VXI chassis.
Regarding software, this controller boasts compatibility with NI-VXI driver software and the VxWorks operating system. Such compatibility is essential for users who require a versatile platform that can support a wide range of applications and development environments. Additionally, the VXICPU-030 offers a variety of standard interfaces, including Ethernet, RS-232 ports, SCSI, and IEEE 488/IEEE488.2, thereby ensuring comprehensive connectivity options for different peripheral devices and systems.
For users needing further expansion, the controller also provides optional interfaces such as 8 additional RS-232 ports, a printer interface (Centronics), and an internal HDD. These options allow for increased flexibility and customization to meet specific project requirements or to enhance system capabilities.
Despite its status as an obsolete product, the VXICPU-030 remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. This availability ensures that systems relying on this specific model can continue to operate and be serviced, thus extending their operational life and maximizing investment value.
