GE Fanuc Introduces Single-Slot Low Voltage Pentium® III Single Board Computer for CompactPCI®
Technology delivers high value, performance, and increases system availability
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (July 11, 2003). GE Fanuc Automation Americas, Inc., an affiliate of GE Industrial Systems, today introduced the VMICPCI-7761, a low voltage Intel® Pentium® III processor-based single board computer (SBC) for CompactPCI applications. Highly integrated and versatile, the SBC provides increased performance at an energy efficient operation level for demanding embedded computing requirements.
Leveraging the low voltage Intel Pentium III processor with 512 Kbyte advanced transfer cache (ATC) and processor speeds up to 933 MHz, the VMICPCI-7761 delivers high bandwidth while heat dissipation is kept at a minimum. On-board memory is provided by up to 1 Gbyte PCI133 registered ECC DIMM and an option for CompactFlash storage attached to the secondary IDE interface.
A fully integrated SBC, the VMICPCI-7761 provides several I/O options as standard. Designed using the Intel 82546EB dual Gigabit Ethernet device, the board supports two copper interface connections routed to the front panel RJ-45 connector and the CompactPCI J3 backplane for PICMG® 2.16 compliance. Two independent serial ports, a super VGA controller and dual front panel USB connections complete the standard package. Further I/O options can be added from GE Fanuc's wide range of modules via the on-board 64-bit/66 MHz PMC expansion site.
Fully compliant with the PICMG open standards specifications, the VMICPCI-7761 can operate as either the system controller or peripheral controller and is fully hot-swappable. Operating system support includes Windows NT®/Windows® 2000, Linux and VxWorks.
