Industry Pack I/OIndustry Pack (IP) Modulesmodules plug into connectorson carrier boards for VME,CompactPCI®, PCI, and othercomputer buses. They enablequick and easy develop-ment of low cost, custom I/Oboards.

Acromag offers more than100 IP modules and carriercards to meet your I/O needs.

CompactPCI I/OThe AcPC series features3U boards that plug into aCompactPCI (cPCI) card cage.Each board has a dedicatedfunction, or set of functions.This offers a cost-effective I/Osolution for applications withmodest I/O requirements thatdo not need to preserve theavailability of backplane cardslots.

Carrier CardsMezzanine carrier cards holdup to five Industry Pack or upto two PMC modules. Selectfrom carriers for VME, PCI,and CompactPCI bus systems.

A variety of models offer frontor rear I/O connections andstandard or extended tem-perature ratings. Conduction-cooling is also available.

FPGA ModulesUser-configurable FPGA I/Omodules in PMC and IndustryPack formats offer the abilityto create custom I/O boardsby downloading your owninstruction sets into the FPGA.Use your application program

to control on-board analog ordigital I/O for hardware simu-lation, in-circuit diagnostics,protocol conversion and more.

MEZZANINE CARRIER CARDS


Acromag carrier

cards provide an

easy-to-use method

for interfacing I/O on

mezzanine modules

when slots are not

available on SBCs.

12

Mezzanine modules are a very effective

method for interfacing I/O signals to an

embedded computer system. However,

slots may not always be available on the

processor board. In this case, a carrier

board with slots for up to five Industry

Pack or two PMC modules is an idealsolution.

Choose from a variety of configurations

with front or rear I/O access. Boards with

multiple mezzanine slots allow mixing of

functions to create custom I/O cards with

extremely high channel density. Third-

party IP and PMC modules are supported

offering virtually unlimited possibilities.

Acromag carrier cards are non-intelligent

slave boards that act simply as an adapt-er to route I/O signals to and from the

bus. Some carrier cards offer support for

interrupts. Carriers are available for VME,

PCI, and CompactPCI bus systems.

To simplify deployment, Acromag provides

a full line of transition modules, cables

and termination panels. Software support

libraries are also available for faster setup.

Benefits• Industry-standard IP or PMC module interface

Industry Pack Module Carriers:- VME 3U/6U, VME64 6U- CompactPCI 3U/6U- PCI full/half-length,

• Accommodates 8MHz and 32MHz IP clocks

• Provides individually fused and filtered powerline to each module

• Supports both 5V and 3.3V signalling

• C libraries of function routines for VxWorks,QNX, Linux, and Windows operating systems

Acromag termination

products simplify the

connection of field

signal cabling to save

you time and effort.


Termination andcabling

Acromag provides a

broad selection of hard-

ware accessories to sim-

plify the use of our I/O

boards. This collection

of termination panels,

cables, and adaptersfacilitate field wiring

and cable connections

between boards within

the card cage.

Termination panels pro-

vide screw terminals for

easy field signal wiring. A

cable connector provides

a clean interface to the

I/O board or mezzaninemodule. Many termina-

tion panels have a

compact footprint and

mount neatly on a DIN

rail strip. Other panels are

designed for mounting

directly onto a standard

19-inch rack.

Transition modules pro-

vide a solution for con-

trolling the location of

your cabling within the

card cage. These adapters

repeat field I/O connec-

tions on Acromag’s VME,

VME64, and cPCI carrier

boards for front or rear

exit from the card cage.

Acromag also provides a

large selection of signal

cables to complete the

connection of the field

wiring on the termination

panel to the I/O board.

Acromag offers a library

of function routines

targeted for VxWorks and

QNX operating systems.

These routines and

example programs help

you develop the interface

between Acromag I/O

boards and your applica-

tion program. C source

code is included for easy

customization.

DLL drivers simplify the

interface between the

I/O boards and your

Windows-based appli-

cation program. This

package provides DLL

driver level support for

Acromag’s complete line

of PMC, PCI and cPCI

products. Also, the C

source code demonstra-

tion programs provide

easy-to-use tools to test

operation of your I/O

modules.

A free example appli-

cation programming

interface is available for

download on Acromag’s

website to assist Linuxusers. This software

provides I/O function

routines for Industry Pack

modules and carriers.

Includes C source code.
