MEZZANINE MODULES AND BUS BOARDS


Industry Pack I/O
Industry Pack (IP) Modules modules plug into connectors on carrier boards for VME, CompactPCI, PCI, and other computer buses. They enable quick and easy development of low cost, custom I/O boards. Acromag offers more than 100 IP modules and carrier cards to meet your I/O needs.
4

CompactPCI I/O
The AcPC series features 3U boards that plug into a CompactPCI (cPCI) card cage. Each board has a dedicated function, or set of functions. This offers a cost-effective I/O solution for applications with modest I/O requirements that do not need to preserve the availability of backplane card slots.

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.

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 ideal solution. 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. Thirdparty IP and PMC modules are supported offering virtually unlimited possibilities. Acromag carrier cards are non-intelligent slave boards that act simply as an adapter 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, PMC Module Carriers: - CompactPCI 3U/6U, conduction-cooled - PCI half-length Accepts IP and PMC modules from other manufacturers Front or rear panel connectors for field I/O Supports interrupt channels 32/64-bit 33/66 MHz PCI interface or 64-bit 133 MHz PCI-X interface Accommodates 8MHz and 32MHz IP clocks Provides individually fused and filtered power line to each module Supports both 5V and 3.3V signalling C libraries of function routines for VxWorks, QNX, Linux, and Windows operating systems

HARDWARE ACCESSORIES

Acromag termination products simplify the connection of field signal cabling to save you time and effort.

Termination and cabling


Acromag provides a broad selection of hardware accessories to simplify the use of our I/O boards. This collection of termination panels, cables, and adapters facilitate field wiring and cable connections between boards within the card cage. Termination panels provide screw terminals for easy field signal wiring. A cable connector provides a clean interface to the I/O board or mezzanine module. Many termination 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 provide a solution for controlling the location of your cabling within the card cage. These adapters repeat field I/O connections on Acromags 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.
