North Atlantic Industries' 6U, OpenVPX, Multi-function, I/O Card

The new 67C3is a single slot, OpenVPX, 6U, Multi-function I/O and serial communications card.VME, Gigabit Ethernet and Serial RapidIO (sRIO) or PCI Express (PCIe) controlinterface options enable users to take advantage of the higher speed, switchedfabric communication architectures, offering significantly greater capability.

The enhanced motherboard contains six independent module slots,each of which can be populated with a function-specific module and can now becontrolled by VME, dual Gigabit Ethernet and sRIO or PCIe. This unique designeliminates the need for multiple, specialized, single function cards byproviding a single board solution for a broad assortment of signal interfacemodules such as, Synchro/Resolver/ LVDT/RVDT Simulation and Measurement, A/D,D/A, Discrete/Differential/TTL/CMOS I/O, RTD, Encoderand communications such as RS232/422/485, MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429 and CANBus.This approach increases packaging density, saves enclosure slots, reduces powerconsumption and adds continuous background BIT testing. Further, the 67C3 provides ahighly cost-effective, off-the-shelf alternative to a custom-built solution.

The 67C3 is availablewith an operating temperature range of -40 to + 85C. Pricing for a rugged,conduction-cooled 67C3, configured with 96 programmable 0 V to 60 V discretechannels starts at $9,982 in quantities of 100+, with a 12 to 14-week deliveryschedule.
