Embedded Control System

Tuesday, 10 July, 2001 | Supplied by: Dominion Electronics


Dominion Electronics has announced the Smart Star series - a modular, expandable, embedded control system specifically designed for real-time control and data acquisition.

By delivering several low cost I/O card options in a customisable design, the Smart Star can be used for a wide range of development requirements and budgets.

Additionally, it has the capability to be programmed and debugged via the internet.

The card options include digital, A/D, D/A and relays and can be interchanged to meet most I/O requirements. Unprecedented density supports up to 168 I/O points in a panel that is less than 69.34 cm in size.

The slot-style rack allows interchanging of I/O cards as requirements change and provides streamlined maintenance with a front loading configuration.

The system consists of a rugged backplane with power supply, a CPU card, and one or more I/O cards. Eight slots are available on the backplane, one for the CPU card and seven for I/O cards to be used in any combination.

The CPU card is powered by the Rabbit 2000 microprocessor, operating at 25.8 MHz, and has 512 K of flash memory and up to 512 K of SRAM for program and data storage.

Additional features include three serial ports, time/date clock, watchdog timer, and optional backup battery. Connections to I/O cards are made via a pre-assembled flat ribbon cable assembly or optional field wiring terminals.
