North Atlantic Industries 64E3
The North Atlantic Industries 64E3 is a single slot, 6U VME, low-power/highperformance, high-density, multi-function I/O board. Five I/O module slots enable integrators to mix and match a variety of I/O and communication functions. These functions include Digital I/O screte, TTL or Differential), Analog I/O (A/D, D/A, RTD, Strain Gage), Motion Control and Sensor Interfaces (Synchro/Resolver/LVDT/RVDT measurement and s imulation, Encoder/Counter. 3-Axis Motor Controller) and Communication Interfaces (synchronous/asynchronous RS232/422/485, MILSTD-1553, CANBus and ARINC 429/575). The 64E3 supports an extended module slot that can be populated from a selection of especially high density I/O, a 12-port unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch, high-speed, full hand-shaking modem control, serial communications or a 48-channel, fully programmable discrete module. Configured with up to five modules, system integrators can confidently manage, monitor and process a host of sensor interfacing requirements using NAI’s flexible, leading-edge, fully programmable and continuous background built-in-test (BIT) enabled function modules.
The North Atlantic Industries d64E3 multi-function I/O board and full complement of module API libraries and drivers are ideally suited for a multitude of commercial or rugged, embedded I/O systems. The 64E3 with dual Gig-E now includes Master VME Bus capability for the potential of direct Ethernet data collection and control from/to other NAI VME high-density, multi-function I/O boards. This provides a complete, expandable, low power/high performance, programmable solution for sensor and communication data acquisition, management,processing and distribution. All I/O sensor data is available on the VME Bus or Gigabit Ethernet.
Advantages of using the 64E3 for board or system-level solutions: • Sensor interface data available for immediate use by an external host system processor via VME or Gig-E • Direct Gig-E ‘Master’ data acquisition and control from multiple NAI I/O ‘slave’ cards within a VME chassis • Extensive data acquisition and control without an SBC, in sensor measurement and simulation systems
