68C3-K6P8Z0FC250 Apex Signal 3U Open VPX Multifunction I/O Card (Conformal Coated)

The North Atlantic / Apex Signal 68C3 Series 3U Open VPX Multifunction I/O Cards are single-slot, 3U, OpenVPX (0.8" pitch) multifunction I/O and serial communications card. Gigabit Ethernet (Gig-E) and High Speed PCI Express (PCIe) or Serial RapidIO (sRIO) 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/or sRIO or PCIe. This enhanced motherboard using multiple DSPs enables higher processing power and dedicated pre-processing and control for each module function. This unique design eliminates the need for multiple, specialized, single-function cards by providing a singleboard solution for a broad assortment of programmable, multichannel signal interface I/O modules such as: Digital (TTL/CMOS, Differential, Discrete, Relay); Analog (A/D, D/A, RTD, Strain Gage, Isolated Power Supply); Positional/Motion Control (Synchro/Resolver/ LVDT/RVDT Measurement/ Simulation, AC Reference, Encoder/Counter).

In addition, the 68C3 Series incorporates communication modules such as RS-232/422/423(188C)/485, MIL-STD-1553, CANBus and ARINC 429/575. This approach increases packaging density, saves enclosure slots and reduces power consumption.
