3U Compact PCI 4-Port RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 Serial Interface

The 7904 is a 3U compact PCI serial interface that provides four RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 serial ports for demanding automation and control applications. Each port can be field configured to RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 for maximum flexibility.

Our revolutionary Automatic RS-485 Enable circuit is included onboard to simplify multidrop network connections. 16C864 UARTs with deep 128-byte FIFOs are standard to reduce system overhead, even at high speeds.

Features

Four-port field selectable RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 interface

Automatic RS-485 Enable and Disable

Hot Swap compliant (PICMG 2.1 Rev. 3.0)

PCI bus 2.2 compliant

Universal 3.3 and 5V compatible

Full RS-232 control signals supported

3U Compact PCI 2-Port RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 Isolated Serial Interface

The 7903 is a 3U Compact PCI interface adapter with two isolated serial I/O ports. It provides two field selectable RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 serial ports supporting data rates up to 921.6K bps. Isolation is important in installations where the equipment connected to the PC is either located far from the host system, or on a different power transformer circuit.

Features

Hot Swap compliant (PICMG 2.1 Rev. 3.0)

PCI bus 2.2 compliant

Automatic RS-485 Enable and Disable

Supports data rates up to 921.6K bps

16850 buffered UART standard

Universal 3.3 and 5V compatible

Full RS-232 control signals supported

MIL-STD-1553 Eight-Channel Compact PCI Board

Multi-Standard Compact PCI Board for Avionics Interfaces Including
MIL-STD-1553, H009, WB-194, ARINC 429, Digital and Avionics Discrete I/Os, and RS-485 Applications

The Compact PCI HyperBoard is a multi-standard board that contains eight channels of MIL-STD-1553. The board is compatible with MIL-STD-1553B and MIL-STD-1760. Each channel can be configured independently to work with H009 and WB-194 in conjunction with MIL-STD-1553. Other protocols, like French DigiBus, are also available upon request.

The Compact PCI HyperBoard is based on proven MIL-STD-1553, H009 and WB-194 (WMUX) IP cores and transceivers. Prior to shipment, the board can be programmed to support various configurations and protocols using the exact same hardware. The cPCI board includes eight generic I/O pins that can be used as RS-422, RS-485, ARINC-429 (2 transmit and 2 receive channels) or eight avionics I/O ports. The board also includes eight digital I/O channels and IRIG-B time-tag input and output channels.

The Compact PCI HyperBoard can be used for onboard avionics systems and for lab testing equipment. The standard interface board is software-compatible with DDC® Enhanced Mini-ACE® components and architecture, enabling fast and easy integration with existing or new systems. Tester versions are available with capabilities such as RT Simulation, Multi-RT, Error Injection and more.

Software drivers for Windows and Linux, along with high-level API, are available to ease application development. This software includes an advanced GUI (Graphical User Interface) for controlling the board, generating MIL-STD-1553 traffic, monitoring and emulating a real bus environment.
