Description
The VXI Embedded Controller with part number 776499-06 and model VXICPU-030 is a comprehensive solution designed to meet various system automation and control needs. This standard kit comes equipped with a Parallel Port (Centronics), making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
At the heart of this controller is the 68030-microprocessor, based on the robust MVME147S processor board (Motorola). This powerful combination ensures reliable performance and compatibility across many platforms. The controller runs on the VxWorks OS, providing a stable and efficient operating environment.
Its default configuration is set as a System controller for VXIbus Slot 0, emphasizing its readiness to be integrated into existing setups with minimal hassle. For software support, it includes the NI-VXI driver software, which simplifies the integration process and enhances its functionality.
When it comes to connectivity, this embedded controller does not disappoint. It features Standard Interfaces including Ethernet, two RS-232 ports, SCSI, and IEEE 488/IEEE488.2, ensuring a high level of adaptability for various communication needs. Additionally, its onboard DMA supports SCSI, enhancing its performance capabilities.
For users requiring more from their setup, the controller offers Optional Interfaces such as 8 RS-232 ports, a Printer interface (Centronics), and an Internal HDD. These options provide the flexibility to customize the system according to specific requirements.
Despite being announced as Obsolete by National Instruments, this embedded controller remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. This ensures that users can continue to rely on the VXICPU-030 for their critical applications without concerns about support and availability.
