Description
The VXI Embedded Controller with the part number 777470B-04 is designed for specialized computing environments. This model, known as the VXIPC-850, is tailored specifically for VXI systems requiring robust control capabilities. The device is characterized by its 2-slot, C-size modular design, making it versatile for various VXI applications.
The VXIPC-850 utilizes a PCI local bus controlled VXIbus interface for efficient data communication and management within the VXI framework. Its modular construction includes a CPU Card, System I/O, ISA Expansion Slot, PCI Expansion Slot, and more, ensuring a flexible and scalable solution for embedded control applications.
At the heart of its data transfer capabilities is the MITE based PCI-VXIbus interface circuitry, offering high-speed data transactions and reliable performance. The device also features the MANTIS ASIC for VXIbus arbitration and trigger management, ensuring precise control and synchronization within the VXI ecosystem.
Networking capabilities are facilitated through ISA-based Ethernet circuitry with an RJ-45 connector, providing straightforward integration into local networks. The standard IEEE 488.2 port for GPIB logic block further enhances its connectivity, allowing for easy communication with GPIB instruments.
The VXIPC-850 is housed in a metal enclosure, which is removable for convenient access to jumpers, switches, and DRAM when maintenance or upgrades are required. It supports a versatile CLK10 signal sourcing from either an internal oscillator or an external CLK SMB connector, catering to a wide range of timing requirements.
For system interrupts, it utilizes ISA interrupts 5 or 11, providing flexibility in configuring the GPIB interface according to the specific needs of the VXI application. Its short description highlights its capability as a HARD DRIVE FOR VXIPC MODEL 850 (DOS/WINDOWS 3.1), indicating its compatibility with legacy operating systems and ensuring support for a broad spectrum of VXI modules and software.
