The 68C3 is a single slot, 3U, OpenVPX (0.8” pitch) multi-function I/O and serial communications card. Gigabit Ethernet (Gig-E) and High Speed sRIO or PCIe control interface selections enable users to confidently take advantage of the OpenVPX form-factor, offering higher speed switched fabric communication options. The motherboard contains three independent module slots, each of which can be populated with a function-specific module, and can now be controlled by the Gig-E and sRIO or PCIe. The enhanced motherboard using multiple DSPs enables higher processing power and dedicated control for each module. This unique design eliminates the need for multiple, specialized, single function cards by providing a single board solution for a broad assortment of signal interface modules, such as I/O, Synchro/Resolver and LVDT. In addition, the 68C3 incorporates serial communication modules such as RS232/422/485 and ARINC429.This approach increases packaging density, saves enclosure slots, reduces power cons-sumption and adds continuous background built-in-testing (BIT). Additional enhancements include FIFO data buffering for A/D, D/A, S/D and LVDT functions. (See available functions listed on the following page.) A Software Support Kit (SSK) is supplied which provides helpful documentation and sample code.BIT, a highly beneficial feature, is always enabled and continually checks the health of each channel, ensuring optimal system performance. A possible fault is immediately reported and the specific channel is identified, eliminating the possibility of any equipment downtime. Testing is totally transparent to the user, requires no external programming, has no effect on the standard operation of the card and can be disabled on a per-channel basis. (See Operations Manual for further details.)
