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.

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