Astronics Test Systems Inc. Racal Instruments™ The Racal Instruments™ VX407C is an intelligent VXI carrier that allows PXI and cPCI modules to be used in VXI systems. The carrier supports two 3U PXI or cPCI modules or one 6U PXI or cPCI module. It has an on-board PowerPC processor that can perform command translation, data analysis, and many other data processing or process control functions. Data can be transferred to/from a PXI or PMC device and on-board memory at a sustained rate of 132 Mbytes/s. Key Features • Embedded PowerPC® microprocessor to facilitate additional functionality • Adapts 3U or 6U PXI/cPCI modules to VXI • Supports both register-based and message-based communication • PMC port for peripherals, such as mass storage Product Information The VX407C Intelligent Carrier supports both VXI register-based and word serial modes of operation. Attached cPCI/PXI modules can be directly accessed from VXI and the PowerPC® microprocessor. The electrical and mechanical interface allows cPCI or PXI modules to be easily integrated into a VXI system. Modules mount with front panels flush with other VXI modules in the system. Single, double, and triple wide cPCI/PXI modules are supported. In addition to cPCI/PXI support, the carrier provides one PMC position that allows additional functionality to be added, such as mass storage or communication interfaces A mating connector is provided for I/O access. Relay driver logic allows special control hardware to be easily added to the overall integrated system. The VX407C is powered by a highly integrated PowerPC® 8245 microprocessor with a PowerPC 603e™ core, a built-in peripheral interface interconnect (PCI) interface, and an advanced memory controller. Dual-ported shared memory and a complete register and interrupt-based interface allows fast VXI communication with the PowerPC® application software.
