MultiFunctional cPCI Card offers D/S converters and GigE.

Press Release Summary:




Accommodating up to 5 independent function modules, single-slot 78CS2 eliminates complexity and size constraints of using multiple, independent, single-function cards. It can be configured with D/S converters, offering 10 channels at 2.2 VA or 5 channels at 5.0 VA, and Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) interface allows for data transfer without using backplane bus. Each function is programmable at channel level and subject to transparent, continuous background testing.

New 2nd Generation, Multi-Function cPCI Card Offers Efficient D/S Converters and Gigabit Ethernet



Other Functions include S/D, D/LVDT, LVDT/D, A/D, D/A, Reference Generator, Function Generator, Discrete I/O, Transceiver I/O, and RTD

Bohemia NY - North Atlantic Industries (NAI) has announced the availability of a 2nd generation 5-module, multi-function, single-slot cPCI card. This universal and highly flexible card eliminates the complexity and size constraints of using multiple, independent, single-function cards. The 78CS2 cPCI card can accommodate up to 5 independent function modules. It can be configured with NAI's new highly-efficient D/S converters -- 10-channels at 2.2 VA or 5-channels at 5.0 VA. The 78CS2 also incorporates a Gigabit 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 the need for a separate computer board. Other modules for the card can be selected from a library that includes D/LVDT (2-channels), S/D (4-channels), LVDT/D (4-channels), A/D (10-channels), D/A (10-channels), AC Synchro Reference Generator, Function Generator (4-channels), Discrete I/O (16-channels), TTL I/O (16-channels), Transceiver I/O (11-channels), and RTD (6-channels).

The multi-function design of the 78CS2 provides extensive diagnostics and is available in both commercial temperature range and severe-environment industrial temperature range. For increased flexibility, each of the functions of the 78CS2 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 78CS2 is ideally suited for military and commercial programs, including airborne, shipboard, ground mobile and C3I applications.

The 78CS2 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 for 100 pieces of the 78CS2 starts at $3500 each. Delivery starts at 10 to 12 weeks ARO.

"The 78CS2 provides our customers with a flexible, multi-function, single-slot cPCI card that reduces size, weight, power and cost," said Mike Oliveri, VP of Sales and Marketing at NAI. "They particularly like the complete range of function modules that are available."
