BOHEMIA N.Y., 10 Aug. 2007. North Atlantic Industries (NAI) has announced the availability of a second-generation 5-module, multi-function, single-slot VME card that eliminates the complexity and size constraints of using multiple, independent, single-function cards.
The 64CS4 VME card can accommodate as many as five independent function modules that can be selected from a library that includes D/S (2-channels), D/LVDT (2-channels), S/D (4-channels), LVDT/D (4-channels), A/D (10-channels), D/A (10-channels), AC Synchro Reference Generator, Function Generator (4-channels), Discrete I/O (16-channels), TTL I/O (16-channels), Transceiver I/O (11-channels), and RTD (6-channels).
The 64CS4 also incorporates a Gigabit Ethernet interface to transfer data to and from the board, without using the VME backplane bus. This Ethernet port help the card function as a standalone remote sensor interface, without the need for a separate computer board. Several 64CS4 boards can be networked together in a system -- using Ethernet -- for complete data acquisition capability.
The 64CS4 provides diagnostics and is available in commercial temperature range and severe-environment industrial temperature range. Each of the functions of the 64CS4 is programmable at the channel level.
Continuous background (BIT) testing is performed on all functions and channels. This testing is totally transparent to the user, requires no programming, and doesn't interfere with the normal operation of the card. The 64CS4 is ideally suited for military and commercial programs, including airborne, shipboard, ground mobile and C3I applications.
The 64CS4 is available with operating temperature ranges of -40 to 85 degrees Celsius, and 0 to 70 C. Conduction-cooled versions with wedgelocks are also available.
