Unitronix 64EP3 6U VME single board computer

A 6U VME single board computer is available with multifunction and communications I/O options. The 64EP3 effectively eliminates the need for a separate SBC for I/O intensive system applications.

The processor provides real-time, intelligent sensor data acquisition and local data management operations such as analysis, algorithm manipulation and control of all I/O functions. It also supports direct data management and distribution between dual gigabit ethernet and communication interfaces such as MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429/575, RS232/422/485 and CANBus.

The platform includes four module slots for numerous mix-and-match configurations from a wide selection of multifunction I/O and communication modules. The available I/O functions include A/D, D/A, discrete/TTL/CMOS/differential I/O, RTD, synchro/resolver/LVDT/RVDT measurement and simulation and encoder/counter.

Available communication functions include MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429/575, RS232/422/485 and CANBus. The enhanced motherboard design, using multiple DSP’s, enables higher processing power and dedicated control for each I/O module.

Using Freescale’s 1.25 GHz e500 core MPC8536 PowerPC processor, coupled with Wind River’s VxWorks 6.x BSP and NAI’s full complement of libraries, system integrators are given control over the development of their I/O systems using a total NAI solution.

Designed with Analog Devices’ 500 MHz low-power Blackfin BF-533 processor, users can take advantage of the powerful real-time Visual DSP++ development environment.
