Features:
- Interconnect 2 VMEbus Systems
- Directly Address the Other's Resources as Though They Were Local
- Pass BLocks of Data, I/O Commands, and Interrupts ot the Other System
- Execute Random Access Reads and Writes to the Remote VMEbus
SBS’ Model 412-1 connects two VMEbus systems for fast, cost effective sharing of memory and special purpose boards. With Model 412-1 you can use a standard PC or workstation instead of a single board computer letting you take advantage of a wealth of off-the-shelf software, the latest processor technology, and worldwide support from major PC, workstation and operating system manufacturers. Consequently, effectively speeding your development effort and reducing time to market.
The adapter provides high-speed data transfers between the two systems, and requires minimal software support.
Model 412-1 expands your computing environment by combining the power, memory and card capacity of two systems. Interconnected by the adapter, each system can:
• Directly address the other’s resources as though they were local.
• Pass data, I/O commands, and interrupts to the other system.
• Execute random access reads and writes to the remote VMEbus.
Plus, the Model 412-1 can function as a coprocessor or as the only bus controller in the remote VMEbus chassis.
With the SBS adapter, each bus operates independently. The timing of the two buses is linked only when a memory or I/O reference is made to an address on one system that translates to a reference on the other. The integrity of the interface between the adapter cards is maintained by parity checks on address, control and data lines.
A32/D32 random access cycles from either system are supported by the adapter.
Other SBS adapters, supporting a wide variety of buses, can be used with Model 412-1 adapters to connect multiple computers and systems in star daisy-chain or modified star/daisy-chain configurations.
The SBS 82902250 A32/D32 VMEbus Adapter may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
