6U OpenVPX Multifunction I/O

Model OpenVPX 67C3

The 67C3 is a single slot 6U OpenVPX (0.8” pitch) multi-function I/O and serial communications card.

With VME, Gigabit Ethernet (Gig-E) and High Speed sRIO or PCIe control interface selections, users can confidently choose to take advantage of the OpenVPX form-factor offering higher speed switched fabric communication options.

The motherboard contains six independent module slots, each of which can be populated with a function-specific module, and can now be controlled by the VME, Gig-E and sRIO or PCIe. This enhanced motherboard, using multiple DSPs, allows for 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 67C3 incorporates serial communication modules such as RS232/422/485 and ARINC429.This approach increases packaging density, saves enclosure slots, reduces power consumption and adds continuous background built-in-testing (BIT). Additional enhancements include FIFO data buffering for A/D, D/A, S/D and LVDT functions.

Automatic background BIT, an important feature, is always enabled and continually checks the health of each channel. There is no need to make assumptions about system performance. If a fault is detected, it is immediately reported and the specific channel is identified. This capability is of tremendous benefit because it identifies and reports errors without the need to shut down the equipment for troubleshooting. Testing is totally transparent to the user, requires no external programming, and has no effect on the standard operation of the card.
