Press Release Summary:
Offred in -40 to +85°C and 0-70°C temperature ranges, Model 78C2 cPCI card includes programmable synchro/resolver measurement (4-channels), LVDT measurement (4-channels), A/D (10-channels), D/A (10-channels), function generator (4-channels), discrete I/O (16-channels), TTL I/O (16-channels), transceiver I/O (11-channels), and RTD (6-channels). Ethernet port for data transfer allows board to be used as standalone remote sensor interface.
Original Press Release:
Ethernet-Capable, 6U cPCI Multi-Function Card Now Available
Functions Available include Synchro/Resolver Measurement, A/D, D/A, Function Generator, Discrete I/O, TTL I/O, Transceiver I/O, and RTD
Bohemia NY -- North Atlantic Industries (NAI) has announced the availability of an improved single slot, 6-module, 6U cPCI multi-function card. This universal card eliminates the complexity and size constraints of using multiple, independent, single-function cards. The 78C2 cPCI card - which extends the capability of the earlier 78C1 -- can include the functions of Synchro/Resolver Measurement (4-channels), LVDT Measurement (4-channels), A/D (10-channels), D/A (10-channels), Function Generator (4-channels), Discrete I/O (16-channels), TTL I/O (16-channels), Transceiver I/O (11-channels), and RTD (6-channels). The 78C2 incorporates an Ethernet interface that can be used to transfer data to and from the board, without using the backplane bus. This Ethernet port allows the board to be used as a standalone remote sensor interface, without using a separate computer board. Multiple 78C2 boards can be distributed in a system, and networked together using Ethernet for complete data acquistion capability.
The interchangeable multi-function design of the 78C2 provides extensive diagnostics and is available in both commercial and extended temperature ranges. For increased flexibility, each of the functions of the 78C2 is highly programmable at the channel level. Continuous background (BIT) testing is performed on all functions and channels. This testing is totally transparent to the user, requires no programming, and doesn't interfere with the normal operation of the card. The 78C2 is ideally suited for military and commercial programs, including airborne, shipboard, ground mobile and C3I applications.
The flexible choice of factory configured modules provides increased functional density, and reduced power consumption, size, and cost of the overall system.
The 78C2 is available with operating temperature ranges of -40°C to +85°C and 0°C to +70°C. Conduction cooled versions with wedgelocks are also available. Pricing is contingent upon the type of modules selected. Consult factory for price. Delivery is 10 to 12 weeks ARO.
"The 78C2 provides our customers with a flexible, single-slot, multi-function, 6U cPCI card that reduces size, weight, power and cost," said Mike Oliveri, VP of Sales and Marketing at NAI. "They particularly like the wide range of commonly used functions that are available."
