BOHEMIA, N.Y., 2 June 2007. North Atlantic Industries (NAI) in Bohemia, N.Y., is announcing a single-slot, six-module, 6U CompactPCI multi-function card that can include the functions of synchro/resolver measurement (4-channels), LVDT measurement (4-channels), A-D (10-channels), D-A (10-channels), function generator (4-channels), discrete I/O (16-channels), TTL I/O (16-channels), transceiver I/O (11-channels), and RTD (6-channels).
The 78C2 CompactPCI card incorporates an Ethernet interface to transfer data to and from the board, without using the backplane bus. This Ethernet port enables the board to function a standalone remote sensor interface, without using a separate computer board. Several 78C2 boards can be distributed in a system, and networked together using Ethernet for complete data acquisition capability.
The 78C2 provides extensive diagnostics and is available in commercial and extended-temperature ranges. For increased flexibility, each of the functions of the 78C2 is programmable at the channel level.
Continuous background (BIT) testing is performed on all functions and channels. This testing is transparent to the user, requires no programming, and does not interfere with the normal operation of the card. The 78C2 is suited for military and commercial programs, including airborne, shipboard, ground mobile, and C3I applications.
The 78C2 is available with operating temperature ranges of -40 to 85 degrees Celsius and 0 C to 70 C. Conduction-cooled versions with wedgelocks are also available.
